Finally... some new pics!

Aidan is now almost 14 months old.... and cuter than ever! We love our sweet baby girl so much, and there is nothing in the world that compares to her contagious laughter. We are in the process of closing on our first home. It's been a lot of paperwork, but we're almost there. We are so thankful for this home. It has a big fenced-in back yard and deck with a couple of peach trees and a swingset.... plenty of room for busy little feet to run around in. It's in the middle of Headland and has plenty of room for our family to grow in. It's an older home with lots of character, and we cannot wait to put some TLC into it and make it our own. Hopefully, we'll be moving in sometime in the next few weeks! Truly God is good!! He is once again showing us His faithfulness and provision above and beyond what we could ask or imagine.

So, I'm not a very good blogger!

Well, as you can see... haven't updated the blog in FOREVER! I will try to get some new pics on here asap. Derek and I are living in Headland and looking for a house right now. Derek is working at a landscaping business and I'm teaching a 3 year old class at the First Baptist Day Care where Aidan is staying while I work. We are enjoying our jobs and Aidan is a constant source of joy! She just turned a year old, and I do not know where all the time goes! She is a happy little girl with tons of energy. We got her a baby pool for her birthday and she is loving it. The past several months have definitely been challenging as we've been transitioning from ministry life to this new chapter, but the Lord has shown Himself so faithful to provide, even when it is in a different way than we would choose. Derek and I have been learning to trust God and be content with where He has us... it's been a daily fight, but one that I can see the Lord using to draw us together as a family. I think that through this I've begun to learn to be thankful for the truly important things the Lord has given me, namely my salvation and hope in the Lord, my husband, who I love more and more each day, and my sweet baby girl, whose laugh can wash away all the cares of the day and remind me of how blessed I am.
I'll try to post more soon and get some pics up. Love you guys!
