Connor certainly didn’t cry over his spilled milk this morning. Instead he was completely enthralled with it. The spilled milk, poured over our tile, showed up brightly on the dark grout and blended in to the white. It created an “X” of sorts, at least in Connor’s mind.
“Yes, an X” I repeated, as I quickly mopped it up.
“Mommy!!! You can’t do that! That is where the treasure is!!”
Oh, of course. What was I thinking??
Lunch time comes and Connor is eating quietly in the kitchen when all of a sudden he comes running in the living room, “Mommy! I found another treasure!”
You guessed it. More spilled milk. I am quite sure this time it wasn’t an accident. Yet again I used a paper towel to demolish his dreams of finding treasure. Or at least for today.
I hope.

Happy Valentine's Day
I couldn't let the day go by without hopping on here...
I love this day! It is so much fun. The pink and red together. The hearts, the sweet sayings, the CHOCOLATE. The love. I have always been too much of a girly-girl, romantic not to LOVE this day. So bear with me here, but this is my valentine to you...

"For God loved the world in this way: He gave His One and Only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16
God loves you. Better than that, He is crazy in love with you. I pray you feel Him loving on you today.
That, my friend, is the heart (pun intended) of Valentine's Day.

Super Bowl Anyone?
I am about to go join my husband in watching THE game, but before I do, I just have to pout one last time about how close I was to actually being excited about the Super Bowl this year. So close. One field goal away in overtime close. Negative degrees in Lambeau field, my brother in the audience for good luck and they still lost. How could this be? I am still not over it...
If the Giants had played a great game and the Packers lost, maybe I would be handling it better. But both teams left a lot to be desired...thus I am still whining.
Oh well...heard Brett may be back...so maybe next year?
Off to watch the game - Go Giants! :)

Hello Out There!
Is anybody still listening? :)
Wow, it is only February 1st but I feel like Christmas was 6 months ago! It has been a wild ride of a month - full to the rim of good and bad. Between sick children and planning 10 Bible studies, I haven't had much time to blog. The Bible studies kicked off this past week (whooohoo!) and (I think) everyone is healthy...so hoping for smooth sailing for a little while.
Poor Summer had a icky bout with pneumonia and she was just starting to feel better when Connor came down with a tummy bug, followed by Chloe...and that was just the past week and a half! All timed, oh so nicely, right along with the start dates of the Bible studies. I am thankful I got to attend both days. It would have killed me (Ok, maybe not killed...more like saddened me) to have put so much planning, time and tears into it and not have been there. I am also thankful for the great team of women that surround me that recognizes my first ministry as my dear children and helped in so many ways!
It has really been an incredible month, though I am at a loss of words to describe it. I have learned/am still learning so much! Being in a leadership position is so completely new to me. I feel so ill-equipped and most times have no clue what I am even doing. But the Lord pulled all of it together in spite of me and is constantly reminding me that leadership isn't always a personality trait - Moses being a huge example of that. I am so grateful for this month - though I have shed a years worth of tears and let out over a hundred squeals of excitement - I wouldn't trade any of it. God is working all around...through the good and the bad. I LOVE seeing His handiwork and excitedly look forward to the finish.
My verse for this New Year has been: "But one thing I do: forgetting what is behind and reaching forward to what is ahead (Heaven!), I pursue as my goal the prize (Jesus!) promised by God's heavenly call in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:13-14
I hope you all are doing well. Thank you for sticking with me through my break. :)
Blessings to you and your family! Have a happy February!
