My neighbor and friend gave me this sweet little suit for Timothy. He has worn it a few times. I think it makes him look even more adorable:

All Boy
Jackson is sporting his "fireman" clothes. At least, in his mind, that's what he is:

February Life
I have not abandoned my blog. :) Yeah right! you may say! :) Well, there will be no catching up, just moving on.
Life is good. God is even better! We are so blessed. Since Jamin went full-time at the church, our faith has been stretched until it seems it would snap! But God knows best, and I'm praying that I am learning as I go. I truly want to serve God with all my heart, and I'm glad we now live closer to the church and Jamin is able to put a lot of time into the ministry.
I am 18 weeks along in my pregnancy. We find out in two weeks wether it's pink or blue!! We are planning and ready to build a room onto our carport to make a little more room for our growing family.
Jackson is almost potty-trained, praise the Lord!! It's already saving us so much money, not buying diapers for two. He is SO full of spirit and life, almost too much some days. We're learning how to discipline. As he learns more, our tactics have to change a little. But he can be absolutely the sweetest boy on the planet.
Timothy is into EVERYTHING! He is definitely my busy one. He is loud and makes his presence known. He often tells me "no." He scrunches up his face a lot. He can identify most of his body parts. He can say a LOT of words. One of his newest words is "yogurt." He says it with his tongue... it's so cute!
I love being a Mommy. Some days I could absolutely go into hiding. The work never ends. I mean, when is the house clean, how long before there is something out of place again, or dirty dishes in the sink? Um... like five seconds! But I'm learning to deal with it. It's more important to raise my children and build my home, instead of keep my house. Life is a learning experience.

I have to say my newest hobby is playing the piano. I made the New Year's resolution for 2010 to play a real offertory every Sunday morning. It was a huge goal for scared me, but the Lord helped me greatly. I think I only missed about three Sundays the whole year. So now, a year later, I have some I can just pull out without learning a new one every week. I just ordered some new arrangement books last week with my birthday money. I can't wait to get them in the mail!
All for now, hoping this post will jump-start my blogging again... complete with pictures! Thanks for stopping by!

Library Day
We've been going to the library for story time lately. We go almost every week. Jackson is just now starting to love to sit through the story and we've made a lot of friends. A couple weeks ago, our home school group dressed up like Indians and pilgrims for story time. It was sweet. :) and Jackson made a little turkey for his project.

Gatlinburg for Two
Last week, while in Tennessee, Mom agreed to watch the boys so Jamin and I could have an all-day date! I was so excited! Dates have been few and far between this year it seems, so a whole day without strollers sounded so good to me.
We started with lunch at Red Lobster! Yum! Who doesn't love their garlic biscuits? Then we decided to ride the Gatlinburg Sky Lift. It was fun! I had never ridden before and I thought I might be a little scared, but I wasn't. I enjoyed it. It was a little strange to go across the road though.

Going back down:
Ice cream!
We also wanted to take a short hike, since that's what we've been into lately. :) We hiked Laurel Falls. It was paved and crowded. There were lots of signs about sharp drop-offs and those who have died from it! Yikes! And there were signs about bears. Apparently bears are very active in that area. The waterfall:

It was a great, exhausting day! I am so thankful for my husband. Being in the ministry, you hear a lot of others' homes and marriages, and I'm so thankful for a peaceful home. All the glory belongs to the Lord. He has been so good to us. Sometimes life gets busy and it seems we can't seem to spend enough time together. So I was thankful for this day.
On the way back down, we did some shopping and I bought some cute place mats that have inspired the decor I will now work on for my kitchen! I'll post that all later. Thanks for stopping by! :)

TRAIN!
Our first official trip as part of the Freedom Homeschool Group was last Thursday. It was a fun train ride! We loved it. There were about 50 in our group, and we had a blast!
Jackson's excited face!

Autumn Evenings
"Can I play in the brown dirt?" Jackson asks. Of course he can. And they'll both wear it until bath time.
A Family Visit :)
Mom and Dad came for a quick visit almost a month ago now. It was very fast. It seems like it always is. Never enough time to visit and talk. Never enough time to sit and laugh together. Never enough time to shop with Mom. ;)
But we did make time for a hike.
... and a picknic at the lake

We cherish every moment of "grandparent" time... since we don't get very much. It was a fun, short visit!
