Happy Birthday Sidney!

Saturday we celebrated Sidney's 3rd Birthday horsey style! We were blessed with an absolutely gorgeous day and spent most of it outside playing with friends. Sid got her first real bike and in turn her first bike wreck. It was such a surreal moment watching her take off on that thing, I almost cried. Then we headed over to the equestrian meet for Sidney to ride a real horse, which she loved of course. On Sunday we made a major step forward and said good-bye to her beloved pacifiers, they were sent to Tennessee with Gabi so there was no turning back. I have to say I am so proud of her, she is doing great and is such a big girl. We can't believe that our little girl is getting so big, she is such a blessing in our lives and we thank God for her everyday.

The Wonder of God

Life has been fairly routine for us here recently. The winter has brought some colds and ear infections (#6 for Sawyer) but overall we have enjoyed some peaceful days in the house building obstacle courses, finger painting, watching 'Cars' like at least once a day, and laughing a lot.

The cold weather has made me contemplative and recently I've been thinking about the absolute wonder of God. I am in constant wonder of the way He shows up in our lives. I have heard too many stories to know that it isn't just in our lives either, He is constantly at work in all of us, and around each of us. There are so many little things that fit together just right, like the right song on the radio at just the right moment, or running into a friend when you needed to see them most, or finding Scripture that speaks right to the core. God is amazing and to think that He has orchestrated so much together for us to experience these little moments is just awe-inspiring. I pray that as we seek Him more that we would see Him more in each of our lives.
