A Little Update...


I don't have very long before my favorite little monkey wakes up from her nap so this is gonna be quick. I thought since its been a little while since I last blogged I would do an update.

Logan:
She started "preschool" one day a week. At least thats what she calls it. She goes once a week for 2 1/2 hours (all by herself) to a sweet lady's house name Ms. Patsy. She runs a two year old learning program out of her home. Logan continues to love to learn and we love watching her. Even if she is learning a new bible verse, color or how to negotiate ("Two more minutes Mommy, Okay?") , we find it all fascinating. She continues to love playing with her babies. I will often find her climbing up the crib in the nursery to place her babies to sleep. She also loves people and asks me daily who we are going to see.

Travis:
This month Trav went on a week long trip in Maimi with his company. He continues to love learning new things about his products and how he can better serve his doctors and patients. ( I wonder where Logan gets her passion for learning....hummmm) When Trav got back from his trip he took Logan to the zoo so I could get a little time to myself. Before they left I asked if I could go to the zoo with them, and Logan said "No Mommy, its kind of crowded". She wanted her Daddy all to herself. I don't blame her. He's wonderful. She is becoming a little daddy's girl.

Me:
September 1, I returned back to The Well to work for 4 months while my friend Katrina is on maternity leave. Two days a week I help one of our pastors, Brad with some of his administrative stuff. It's so much fun to be back. I loved working for The Well so it's fun to be able to put on some "old shoes" again. It has however been a little bit of an adjustment for the 3 of us but I think we are getting the hang of it now. We are so blessed to have my mom to watch Logan one day a week. I have a great Mom. I wouldn't be able to do it without her. If my growing belly weren't a daily reminder, I probably would have forgotten I was pregnant. (not really) But I say that to say, I feel extremely blessed to feel so great this pregnancy. I can't believe I am almost 6 months along. It is flying by. We had another ultrasound a few weeks back and they once again saw a little twig and berries so God willing we will be welcoming a our baby boy in January. There isn't a day that goes by that we don't thank the Lord for our two little sweet gifts.


Well my little monkey is up. Just in time. Here are some pictures. Enjoy.

Abide.

Fresh Eyes

This morning at church I was so disgusted at myself. I could tell I was extremely self focused. When we arrived I wasn't concerned with others around me...I just simply wanted to find my seat, hear a message, worship and go home. I wasn't interested in being used or changed by whatever God had to say. It had been a long weekend out of town, both Trav and Logan have been coughing through the night and well I am just not sleeping really well these days. All gave me an "excuse" to be tired, kind of grumpy and not interested in what God had for me today. What a horrible and ugly place to be.

Side note, the message at our church, The Well was great today. If you missed it, check out the podcast. www.thewellcommunity.org There was no way you could leave that building after that message and be self focused.

We got home from church and heard some bad news about a friend and a family member. Its amazing how quickly perspective sets in. I wish I could keep my perspective and thankfulness everyday regardless of my mood or situation. I lose focus of what matters. Can you relate?

I haven't posted pictures in a while. I thought I would post a few from our trip this weekend to San Francisco. I hope you are enjoying your Sunday with your loved ones and joyfully remembering all that you have been entrusted with.
