Peace

I wouldn't normally post a "personal journal" type entry, but why not share the Good Word? Right? I have felt extremely overwhelmed and anxious the past month. Every time I see someone with 3 kids I get nervous, every time I try to trim our budget I get frustrated, the list goes on. Today I read John 14:27 and was reminded I typically go about everything the wrong way.

"Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."

Thank you God, peace found again.

Catch up - April

Okay, so I have only missed one month of posting...(my initial goal was one post a month). But for this to be a family record for the year, it's pretty lousy! So, I'm going to play catch up for the last few months!

BABY SHOWER FOR JESS

Yes, Oliver is almost 4 months old now, but here we were!

Making cute onesies for Olie - thanks Katie for your help!

Yummy treats and decorative poof balls - thanks for help from Brit!

Homemade oreos - yum!

Every party needs favors!

THE GIRLS

Crawling...

...Callie style!

We call her our little frog.

Princess Belle

She wanted me to do her hair just like her Belle doll.

I think it turned out so cute, but definitely not an "everyday do" :)
