Sweet words

Here's a little video of Noah saying his first prayer. I think I watched it 20 times at work yesterday!!! What is it about hearing your sweet little baby's voice. Well.....most of the time anyways!!! Ha!

Over the last couple of......months!

I have been TERRIBLE about updating my blog!! It just seems to be the last thing I get around to doing. We have been busy....here are some pics:

We celebrated Valentine's Day at Simply Fondue with some friends

Fun times!

Over Spring break we took the boys and Miss Riley to the zoo. Note to self -don't go to the zoo over spring break on half price day :). They had a blast though.

Fragile

I think sometimes we forget...no I KNOW sometimes we forget how real life is...and that we have no guarantee of another day...
Not mentioned for the purpose of being gruesome, but for the purpose of being aware and thankful...to cherish

“Let’s say this goes really bad for me. Most people are not going to get what I am going to get - which is a year, two, five, 10, 12 … to fight. And to spend time with my children and to understand that each day really is a gift. What are the statistics? That 150,000 people in the United States are going to die today? And they’re going to die in car wrecks, of brain aneurysms. Most of them are going to die instantaneously. They don’t get to lay in bed with their wives, like I’ve gotten to for the last month and say what I want to say to her. To kiss my children. To drink it in really deeply, all of that. It’s carpe diem on steroids, all of a sudden. That really is a gift.”

quote from Matt in his recent article

Noah - 20 months

This little guy is growing up so fast!! He makes us laugh everyday! I love getting to know his little personality. His Aunt Niki says he is "spirited," which I think is a nice way of saying "strong willed" ;)

Helping mommy clean

I know you can't see it, but we do have a diaper on here :)

Article

The Associated Press wrote an article on our pastor, Matt, and it was released this weekend and various media outlets across the country have already picked up the story. Just another way God is being glorified in this situation.
