Turns out I am not so great at this

I keep thinking of things I want to blog about and decide to do it and then don't. I have been away so long it took me forever to remember how to log in. My goal for next week is to catch up! I have a lot of things to write about. Madison's graduation, my graduation, Madison's birthday, and so many pictures! I swear to do at least one next week ( no pressure that way)

Isaiah is turning 2

This last week or two I have been trying to soak up as much of Isaiah as I can. I can hardly believe my baby boy will be two in just a few short days! He is growing up so fast and I find myself almost panicking at the thought that this could be my last baby and he is growing too fast! Way too fast. The other night I read him his story for bed and laid by him in his bed until he went to sleep and I just thanked God for this precious sweet boy. He is such a huge blessing. Both my kids are but I feel like if it weren't for Isaiah inside me, I would not have handled my breakup as well as I did. Here are some of my favorite pictures of Isaiah's life so far.

The new year

One of my goals this year (there are many) is to keep up on my blog. I need to remember to get the special moments down so that we don't forget. My other goals are: to get more into the word and have bible reading time alone. To read to the kids more. They both love to hear stories. To get the house organized and stay that way. To finish college and get a career started. And finally to take better care of myself.

This year has started off pretty well I am making an honest effort to take better care of myself. I am putting on makeup regularly and doing my hair in more ways than down or in a ponytail. I am continuing with the gym and losing weight. I finally got into regular pants and was able to buy them! Reading to the kids has been a great addition to our day. The kids just soak it up! School is really interesting this term. I am taking some classes that have very violent subject matter which is hard for me to hear and see but I think I need to so that I can be aware and knowledgeable when I get out into the field of work I am hoping for.

I cannot wait to see what God has in store for the kids and I this year. He has blessed me way more than I could ever deserve. He gives me little encouragements all the time.
