Play time with Emily

This morning while Jonah slept I asked Emily if she wanted to jump on the bed. She only gets to jump on the bed once an a while so she was all for it. I grabbed my camera and took some pictures. Jumping on the bed turned into playing doctor with Lola, changing Lola's diaper and reading to Lola. I love watching her play on her own, it doesn't happen very often.

While Emily was reading to Lola I noticed that her fidgets with her feet. It is so cute. She is such a wiggle worm.Grandpa Posey gave Emily Magenta for Valentines Day. Magenta is Emily's new favorite dog. She is taking her everywhere. Thank you Grandpa for Emmy's new friend.


I had to take some pictures of Jonah when he woke up. Sadly I had some issues with my compact flash card and 1/2 of the Jonah pictures were corrupted. He is such a cutie.

Valentines Day Cookies

Thank you Jacinda for inviting us over to decorate cookies. I had fun and I think the kiddos did too. You are a great friend and I miss seeing you on a tri weekly basis. I look forward to seeing you again soon. I love you girl!

The Neighborhood Church

Moving to a new city has come with challenges. One of the biggest is finding a church to call home. I think we have settled on a church, The Neighborhood Church. At first we weren’t so sure, mainly because there was no Sunday school class and no moms group. These are both important to us because we need to be connected and involved with our church or we simply will not go faithfully. These are also important to us because of the second biggest challenge and that is making new friends that live in the area. So how awesome is this? With in the time we first tried the neighborhood church until the past month our needs have been filled. A MOPS group has been established and a Sunday school class for 20’s/30’s has started. Thank you Lord!

We tried the Sunday school class 2 Sundays ago and found out that this class was started to meet the needs of others like us, where a mid week group does not work. We were greeted with warmth and felt comfortable in a group of strangers. It seems that most of the group is young 20’s/30’s that are married and many have children. We went back again this past Sunday and our experience was just as enjoyable.

Today I visited Neighborhoods MOPS group. I was nervous about going all by myself but, again I was meet with smiles and kindness. Having been involved in MOPS and MOMS I was fearful of my own judgmental comparisons but, that was all pushed aside as the meeting went along. Being as it is the day before Valentines Day I expected to get a good dose of how to love on your husband and I did but, it was better than I expected. A young mom spoke from the word about intimacy with your husband and God.

These were things that I have heard before but, with a fresh new perspective. Reminding me that I need to be a wife that my husband wants to rejoice in… I need to give him reason to rejoice in me. I really need things pounded into my head from every which angle because apparently I am dense when it comes to loving my dear Joshua. As my dear friend Jacinda would say, “Be intentional.” I have not been intentional about loving Joshua the way he needs to be loved but, I am going to.

That was a tangent… Back to the church.

We have enjoyed the church and this is looking like the church we will call home.

impromptu

During taking pictures for some friends and my sis in law my kidos snuck in and gave me some cuteness to photograph. I love the impromptu sessions of my kidos because when I set up just for them it never works.
So serious.
I got one of them together and happy, it's amazing!!!
There's my happy lil' man.
Where's your belly button? There it is :)
Drewski dew too!
