This wonderful man I get to call my husband :) I am so incredibly thankful for him, and the role he plays in our little family! Michael, thank you for continuing to pursue my heart and caring for me so very well!

This little girl continues to capture my heart! I am so thankful I get the opportunity to spend my days at home with her. I love her heart, and the way she is already getting to know Jesus. My favorite part of the day is our Morning Worship time (thank you Kelsey for this idea). We read, dance, and sing praises to the Lord. Her verse for this month is 1 John 4:8, "God is Love!" When we read the verse, she says love and gives hugs...and my heart melts! I am so thankful she loves to read her bible and pray, and now she is sharing this love with her baby :) The other night she said, "Baby, rock, read, pray!" Mike and I are trying to soak up these days and precious moments with just the three of us before Baby Brother joins the party!

She is also the best little helper! She loves to help with laundry, sweep the floor, and unload the groceries. She has such a servant heart :) I am so grateful I get to be her mommy!!

Celebrating 36 weeks with Baby Brother with pictures from 34 and 36 weeks!! According to our countdown, we are 21 days away :) Of course, Baby Brother hasn't seen the countdown so who knows when he will decide to come into the world! We are so excited to meet him and love on him!

My new year devotional called Everyday Hope FOCUSed15. 

"In as few as 15 minutes a day, explore hope that fills the Scriptures and the same hope God intends to fill your life. You’ll learn more about His promises as they apply to your everyday life. Let’s be honest, we all experience moments, even long seasons, of hopelessness. Everyday Hope, an easy to use, four-week study, will help you discover how to hold fast to His promises amidst feelings of hopelessness.

Designed for women who are pressed for time, yet crave depth from their Bible study, Everyday Hope offers a relevant and lasting approach for reading and understanding scripture." {via}

If my family is reading this, they will probably laugh because I keep talking about how much a love my new water bottle...but it is amazing! Mike got it for me for Christmas, and it may sound silly, but it has been one of my favorite presents :) It is the EcoVessel water bottle. It can keep water cold for 24 hours, and it doesn't sweat!! And it fits in the cup holder of my stroller...major bonus!
