Oh my goodness, look at my babies! I can’t believe how big they’re getting – Thomas is 7 months old, has his two bottom teeth, can flip-flop and roll over like a fish out of water, is starting to scoot on his belly and can now sit up. Unless it’s naptime, he is almost always happy and giggles and “talks” all day long.
My little Sophia Marie is 2 years and 5 months old. She loves playing outside, running with her kitty (who she named “meow”), putting all of her baby dolls to sleep (it’s so cute, she turns on the sound machine, gives them kisses and shuts the door saying “alright, night-night”) and right now, she likes to get into absolutely everything: dirt, the DVD baskets, her drawers of clothes, mommy’s makeup, the cleaning cabinet, Bubby (Thomas)’s drawers of clothes… everything! The last few days have been some of the hardest we’ve ever had, but somehow, at the same time they’ve been fun as well. God is so faithful to convict me when I’m angry, give me patience hour by hour – or sometimes minute by minute!
Yet, in the middle of it all, God gives us moments like the above picture when Sophie sits down and puts her arms around her Bubby… I love them so much.
Yes, there is alot to do, but with God’s strength, we can do it all. I’ve never been one for new year resolutions, but with the new year coming up God is very faithful to remind me that His mercies are fresh and new EVERY morning – I’m so grateful for the hope we have in our Savior!
