"O' Christmas tree, O' Christmas tree!"

We went to Lowes on Sunday and picked out our perfect tree! It was so fun to take Isaac and show him the whole shebang...

He is such an encourager =)



At home, tree is up and pjs are on. It's a good night.

Thankful

With so much to be Thankful for, i'm trying my best to be completely satisfied with the holiday even though we are celebrating our first Thanksgiving without my little sister as she remains in Missouri. We are also missing Matt's mom, Chris who is in Wisconsin comforting Grandma Baeten after her stroke and the Carsons who now live in North Carolina. Our family has been hit with a few health issues and God's been growing us inside and out. I am so thankful that God is so good and patient with me as i struggle with 'the little things'. 'The little things' i get hung up on and worried about. Things of this world that don't matter.
2 Timothy 1:7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
We are so Thankful for our family and our friends and our home. For our freedom, for love and for belonging. And for grace, heavenly peace and our salvation. We pray you were blessed this Thanksgiving as we were.

little boys and water balloons

Isaac's friends are all turning two and we went to a few last month...We only took a few shots at the partys..so much to do!
