Ok, I know, and I'm sorry!

I feel so bad that it has been since October since I have updated the blog. I know that it looks totally silly that Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas are all in January's posting. But I have updated things and now I will try to update more often. Life is so busy with two little ones. With Doctors appointments, MOPS, Bible Study, Small Group, and now I am contributing time and putting together a Wellness Program for LifeCare Christian Center, I am surprised I still have my sanity.

Michael and I recently finished the Crown Ministries Financial Small Group. We found it very helpful and it went into things a lot deeper, like dealing with money and how God wants you to use, save and give your money. Michael will be going into things a little deeper now. He will be apart of a Small Group at NorthRidge called Financial Freedom. Michael is still at the Dearborn Plant for Ford Motor Company. Things are going well and it is just work as always.

Ethan and Haylie are healthy and growing. I have never seen two kids eat so much food! They eat a lot! We are going to have to take out a loan just to feed them! We often have play dates with friends. Haylie has a friend named Hayley too. We love to have play dates with the Gerwings. Heather and I are great friends, we even have Bible Study together.
Haylie is talking and saying a lot these days. She is putting sentences together and making her mark in the world! She is quite the firecracker! She will be turning 2 at the beginning of April. WOW time flies!

Ethan is crawling, pulling up on everything and he just started cruising a few weeks ago. His personality is poking through a bit, but mostly he just always wants food! What can I say he is a growing boy! He will be turning 1 at the end of March. Soon he won't be a baby anymore!

I am doing my first Beth Moore Study and I am loving it! She is such and inspiring woman of God! I enjoy every moment I spend in my group and doing the homework for the study, and I usually don't do well with homework type things, but this is great! I also started MOPS for the first time in September last year. It is so great! I love all the woman at my table. We always have great conversation and we are really there for each other. Thanks MOPS moms!
My sister-in-law Val is always there to listen! Thanks Val for always being there for me! She is a great friend!

Life is good, God is even better!

Awwww!!!


This was something Haylie did on her own. I thought it was so cute, I HAD to take a picture and post it! What a good sister!

PLAYING IN THE SNOW!















Haylie loves playing in the snow! We built a snowman together and had such a blast! She loves being outside no matter the temperature.
