Church

Im bringing it up again. Church. We are taking a break. For two or more months now we have been visiting churches. We have gone back to a few a second or third time but we haven’t found one we are ready to stay at. I guess there really isn’t the perfect church out there but we aren’t giving up hope. We aren’t just going to go to church for the sake of going to church. We want to find a place where we fit in, where we can freely worship, and where we can enter in to His presence along side other believers. Now that being said, I don’t want to say that we can’t do that at these churches we have visited because they are doing something wrong. Maybe they aren’t and there is something wrong with us. Maybe God has to do some heart changes, mind changes, and many other changes in us.

I know he has a plan for us but I don’t know what that is right now. I am just following my husbands lead. We are mostly on the same page at the moment, which is a good place to be but if it were up to me we would just continue going to every single church we hear about until we find “the one.” But for now we are done. We are having our own little church at home just the two of us, no three of us (Noni too) until we hear from God what to do next. It really has been good for us, taking our own initiative to seek Him and wait. I’m excited about what Gods been doing.

So any thoughts, words of encouragement, and prayers are greatly appreciated!! ;)

WiNtEr DaYs

Not much going on here these days. Peter is layed off til probably March. He does have some work but its not real consistent. So we are hanging in there, trying to enjoy this white stuff as much as we can. (Even though I hate it. One day of snow and then I am good to go) Oh well. We stay busy by baking and cooking together, lots of movies, Peter loves his Xbox, I have been sewing and crafting when Nonis napping and we try and go outside atleast once a day to get some fresh air. Other days I have playdates, moms meetings, visit with friends and we go to Grandma Ds once a week. I feel like I am survivng this winter better than last. I enjoy having no plans, no obligations and can just see what the day brings us!! Fun!

She always eats the snow. We didn't even show her to do it.
This is a belated christmas present from NeeNee. (peters mom) They got Nonah stacking cups that didnt stack so they replaced them with good ones. She also made her a cute little apron. Which she loves wearing.
Helping me bake.
And this is the apron I made for myself.

Oh and we've been eating lots of chocolate. Hence the chocolate mustache.

Wanna-be Photographer*

So some of you may or may not know this about me but I love Photography. I love looking at other peoples work. I often times pretend I'm a photographer and just start snapping away. Thats why I really love taking pics for my blog and having a place to share my creativity.

Although I don't know much about the technical aspect of photography I think I have the eye for it. I hope that some day I could take some classes and learn more about it and actually do it professionally. Or just offer my services to friends and family. I already took some preggo pics of a friend and really really enjoyed it. I love pregnancy, baby and family photography. Oh and weddings. So beautiful!
Just thought I'd share some of my "wanna-be" work!! Enjoy!

SMILE~

How could you not look at this cute little bundle of joy and not smile?!!!!
Happy weekend everyone!

This past year~

I take so many pictures that I have to be organized. I have a file from each month in 2010. So I decided to take a look back and see how much my Noni girl has grown up this past year. Its amazing how quickly they grow up.
