getting started

So this little munchkin has done things just a little later than the rest of my kids. She was in no hurry to crawl and she hasn't been in any hurry to walk. She has been walking around furniture for a while but hasn't really started letting go until recently. Now she'll do a few steps before she decides she'd rather crawl. Her newest thing is walking with the stroller. She has one of those ride or push toys but she'd rather sit on that so it doesn't get pushed. We're slowly on our way to walking and really I'm ok with a little more time. (please excuse the layered out door look, it was really cold in the house since the furnace decided to quit) Thank you Kate for yet again letting me borrow your husband, I bet you'll be as glad as I am when I get my own back. : )

my thoughts on 2009

2009

i guess it's time to do a little reflecting on the past year. it's hard to remember all the way back to last January, oh wait no it's not, that's when Todd left for his internship in San Fransisco and I was home with four kids one only three months old. That was a long three months to say the least. But I'd like to think I grew in that time, became more self reliant, both for my physical needs and spiritual. I know that's when I finally got serious about my scripture study and personal prayers. Took me long enough but I found out really fast I wasn't going to be able to make it with out my husband on my own.
We saw lots of family this year and loved every minute. Todd graduated and life was suppose to take off then but didn't. This has been a very humbling year and a year for lots of spiritual growth on my part. We have seen miracles and blessings more this year than any other. I am so grateful for family and their love and support, we couldn't have survived this year with out them.
And now as 2010 begins so does a new journey for our family. Todd is starting it before the rest of us but I have faith we'll soon catch up. All this snow makes Las Vegas more and more appealing but there are lots of other things I'll miss, but i'm getting ahead of myself because we're still here for now.
Of course I have goals for this year and I hope with my added growth I'll actually be able to accomplish them. I'm so grateful for Todd and my children and that we can grow together through these experiances which will make us stronger and closer.
and if anyone knows of some one looking for a house in rexburg give me a call. : )

Have a wonderful 2010!!
