Brag time :)

I haven't blogged in a while! I just wrote and saved a blog that I will publish on Sunday afternoon that explains why we are not in Wilmington right now. Haha! The suspense is killing you I'm sure! :)

But... in the mean time can I just tell you how blessed I am??! This is such a fun season of life for our little family. Anna is growing so fast and is such a blessing. She is beautiful and happy and full of joy. Even in the morning when she hasn't eaten for 5 hours she wakes up smiling and grinning from ear to ear. I'm still waiting for her to roll over. I've been giving her more floor time these days because Madison is really good with her. I trust Madison around her more and know she won't hurt her. So now that she's getting more floor time she should start scooting around a little bit! :) Can't wait! When she's not on the floor cooing and flailing her arms... she's a mama's girl!! She loves her mama! She has started laughing and is super ticklish around her neck. :) I love getting those laughs out of her. She is still sleeping awesome at night with just the last few nights exception. :) She has her 4 month well check on Wednesday of next week. Boo for shots. Yay for healthy babies though!

Madison is in to "pretty nails" these days! She is the cutest 2 year old ever! I painted her toe nails a few weeks ago and she insists on having them painted now. :) Any time someone new comes into the house she holds up her foot and says, "look, pretty nails." So cute. Another favorite phrase is, "I love you mommy. I love you sooo much!" Yes! She says this to us! I love it. It amazes me how she picks up on and uses certain words and phrases in the correct context. Like when someone is trying to do something and they finish, Maddy says, "Good job mommy" or "Good job Grandma." She also says, "Great idea" when we mentioned doing something she wants to do! I don't know where she gets this stuff honestly, but it's great!

I fell back into the vicious cycle of food the past couple of days. But after an honest text conversation with a good friend I'm being gracious to myself and starting again. It's a journey, that's for sure. But I need to be healthy both physically and spiritually. I need to crave God. I want to crave Him. I want more out of life than the usual... I want pure joy in Christ and complete reliance on God. I want my life to reflect Christ's in every way. I want to be his vessel.

Father, use me in ways I never imagined. Make me uncomfortable where I'm at and move me in the direction that will glorify you! Show me those people who need you and give me words and actions to show your love.

Floor time is over for Anna... that means time to shut the computer. :) Stay tuned for Sunday. :)
