Thankful!

Wow, I am in shock that it is already December! Hopefully these days just keep on flying by. Luke is due home to visit very, very soon and I cannot stop smiling when I think about seeing him! Isaac and I tease each other every night about who will get to hug him first...I am only half joking when I tell him I will knock him down to win! We have plans to head up north to a cabin in the mountains and just relax, play in the snow and be together!

Every night I come on here to blog but oddly enough, I really don't have much to say! The kids are awesome, I could not be more thankful for the two beautiful children I have. I am so thankful the Lord paired Luke and I up and he blessed us with two of the most precious children on this planet. Hopefully in the near future, Luke will get assigned to a training battalion so that he may be around a lot more to enjoy them with me!

Isaac is doing amazing in kindergarten! He is still pretty lukewarm to the whole school thing, but he always gets off the bus smiling. Delainey is a handful in the best kind of way and is growing like a weed! Lately I just feel like I have finally found my niche! I have an amazing husband who works his butt off so I can stay home with the kids and still makes my heart flutter when I hear his voice. Awesome kids who keep me laughing and entertained. A loving and supportive group of friends that help me to pass the time and actually make it enjoyable! And an incredible family that always knows just what I need and are always just a phone call away! Aside from the fact that my love is half way across the world and my heart, body and soul ache to be with him, I am quite content!

I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. Philippians 4:11

My Treasure

A mother's treasure is her daughter. ~Catherine Pulsifer

Breathtakingly Beautiful!

"He spreads out the northern skies over empty space; he suspends the earth over nothing. He wraps up the waters in his clouds, yet the clouds do not burst under their weight. He covers the face of the full moon, spreading his clouds over it. The pillars of the heavens quake, aghast at his rebuke. By his power he churned up the sea.... By his breath the skies become fair.... And these are but the outer fringe of his works; how faint the whisper we hear of him! How then can we understand the thunder of his power?" (Job 26:7-9, 11-14)



(Luke took this picture while flying, I thought it was amazing! I once jumped out of an airplane and into the clouds. As I floated down through them, I could feel them, cool and misty...I imagined it being as close to heaven as you could get here on Earth!)

WARNING!

Extreme cuteness to follow!

When you ask Delainey now to smile for the camera, she scrunches up her nose, smiles really big and says cheese! Seriously, between the thighs and the cheeks, I don't know what to pinch first.



Seriously, I don't think little girls come much cuter then Sweet Delainey Rose! She picked out that outfit all by herself. The sweatshirt use to be Isaac's and those boots she scored on a recent trip to Toy's R Us! I swear, I pointed that camera at Delainey and she turned into quite the little model...




This last one is from a few days ago. Delainey's hair is out of control and I am at a loss on what to do with it. She hates bows and rips out the rubber bands so pretty much how she wakes up is mostly how she wears it!

I Gotta Feeling...

that trying to get a Christmas picture this year is gonna be a challenge!

Better When We're Together!

I love you Lukey! I hope wherever you are you know we love you and miss you like crazy! Isaac Andrew asks everyday if today is the day you come home! Delainey likes to continuously open my phone and kiss your picture! I cant wait till we see you again, we are so much better when we are together!

XOXO
