Spring is in the air...

Soccer is one of the many activities my kiddos (I) will be busy with this spring! Mommy's little angel wasn't shy about kicking that ball and scoring those goals on her first day of soccer!

It's hilarious how all of the kids follow the soccer ball like paperclips behind a magnet... Haha, we had a fabulous day of memories made!

Wow! Only 10 weeks left until baby day! Time is flying by, which I love... only, a name for our little girl is still eluding us! Praying God will show us His will in the situation of name picking because I CAN'T DECIDE! -sigh No worries. It'll happen.

I think I have gained 18 pounds so far with this little one which doesn't sound so bad... on the other hand, I didn't start gaining until my 17th week... then it sounds like a bit much considering that would be almost 2 pounds a week... but then again, I am at this point only 8 pounds heavier than when I conceived, due to a sickly first 3 months... so, all that to say, I've gained 18 pounds. Not too bad. I suppose. -smile

I know, I know, enough rambling...

Thank you, dear Jesus for continually blessing this pregnancy with health, love, patience and endurance.

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God.

Colossians 3-16

If to heaven's heights I fly

You are still beside me,

or in death's dark shadow's lie,

You will stay close by me.

If I flee on morning wings,

far across the sea,

even there your hand will lead,

Your right hand will guide me.

Birthday Love

~

My little man turned 2 years old this weekend! He is such a sweetheart and his little laugh always makes my day.

~

~

Yum, yum. Lick your fingers good!

~

Unlike his sweet 4 year old sister, who eats all of the frosting off the tops of the cupcakes and then discards the rest of the dessert without a second thought, my little man devoured the entire cupcake and as the picture portrays, showed his appreciation by licking the rest of the sugary treat off his fingers!

We thoroughly enjoyed a family birthday gathering and yummy cupcakes!

Happy birthday, Benny-boo. Love you!
