Where are the boys now...

Well,


Hayden is now 20 months (almost 2). I cannot believe it. He is starting to talk a lot and is very bold about what he wants. We are now seeing his true personality, and it is so exciting to kind of get to know this new little man. He is the blondest brownest eyed boy i have seen. We absolutely love him. He is very musical and loves to sing and play the piano. He even tries to sing on key. He loves birds and our two dogs. He sits on them and hugs them non-stop.


Noah is 3 1/2. He is very sweet. Today I have a cold and he was trying to get me water to make sure I was feeling ok. He gets me flowers from the yard everyday and insists that I wear them in my hair. Noah is very obstinate sometimes though. I'm not sure if it's age, personality or both. But I think if matured, it will serve him well when he is older.


Eli - my husband and sometimes third child - is everything. He is in school for counseling, and is still working in case management. He is trying to learn contentment in his job and is praying through that issue with much fervor. I hope that God will bring him to completion on that. He is the best husband and father I could ever have asked for. He takes care of us with his whole self, and for that I am grateful and thankful...

Pray for us as we decide where we are going and as we seek God's will for our lives.

Staying in Shape

Well

I went for my checkup and I have put on a few pounds. Which I guess is not a big deal except that I have been eating poorly the last few months and I have not been running.

Well all that is going to change. A friend of mine who just had her 3rd baby is already preparing to run a mini-triathlon. And I guess if she can do it, than all of my excuses are pretty lame. I want to be healthy -- not just thin. I want to set the best example for my children and my husband.

So as of now, I am back on the healthy eating regime and exercise regime too.

Not So Good

Today Eli and I got into a fight about money. I guess this demonstrates our lack of faith in God and our lack of discipline in areas of finances. I am asking all my friends and family who read this blog to pray for Eli and I as we try to get back on track with our relationship with God and Each other, as we attempt to demonstrate and exercise discipline in our finances and for prayer that our jobs will provide us with the money we need to get back on track financially.
