Look who is growing up too fast! This sweet ray of Sunshine is now 9 months old and we love her so much! She has been such a happy, easy going baby! She sleeps well for Mommy! Takes a good 3-4 hour nap. She loves to eat her food. She is now eating more solids like steamed veggies and chopped up strawberries and bananas. She does love her Mommy's milk still. She isn't nursing as much now. I feed her 4 times a day. Her new thing is standing up on her own. She is getting stronger! If she keeps this up she will be walking too soon. Stoping growing up too fast Farrah!
I am impressed with how well Jude and Yael share. Right now they are loving their new toy and they are taking turns playing with it. Jude says, "I can't believe he is sharing!" "Yael is so cute!" Yael said, "I am Baymax!" When he first put this on.
Look who is so happy to be 6 months old! She is way too cute! Her smile is contagious. She lights up my life. I love her so much! She is getting stronger and starting to sit up on her own. I am impressed with how well she is balancing on her own. She is scooting and starting to get around more. She is going through a growth spurt I think because she isn't sleeping as long at night and wakes up to eat. She chews on everything and grabs anything in her sight!
I just have to say how proud I am of my big boy! He sure has made a lot of progress lately with sleeping in his own bed again, most nights he is in his bed! Yay!
He has gained confidence in counting, today he led his class in counting. He has gotten better with his numbers. He loves learning about space. He loves learning at his preschool. He has really done well at school. He has made new friends.
He shares with his brother so well and is willing to help him. He likes going to his primary class at church. He rode the pony for the first time at the farm. He brushes his on teeth and goes potty on his own. He is so I independent. He is growing up too fast! He still has his whinny moments during the day.
Whoever said happiness comes with sunshine, has never danced in the rain.
"Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass by; it's about learning to dance in the rain."
Risks
To laugh is to risk appearing the fool,
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental,
To reach out for another is to risk involvement,
To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self,
To live is to risk dying,
To hope is to risk despair,
To try is to risk failure,
But risks must be taken, because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing. The person who risks nothing does nothing, has nothing, and is nothing.
He may avoid suffering and sorrow but he simply cannot learn, feel, change, grow, love, and live.
Chained by his certitudes, he is a slave, he has forfeited freedom.
Only a person who risks is free.

Doing What We Do Best
This is the Life
Our Happy Place

The best thing to hold on to in life is each other
Dance as if it is your last
Dance as though no one is watching
Luke 12:34
"For Where Your Treasure Is, There will Your Heart be also."
Luke 12:31
"Seek Ye The Kingdom of God; And All These Things Shall Be Added Unto You."
Yesterday is History
Today is a Gift!
The Future is a Mystery
Good Ones
2 Tim. 1:7 For God has not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and love, and of sound mind.
Psalms 34:4 I sought the Lord, and He heard me and delivered me from all my fears.
2 Cor. 5:7 For we walk by faith, not by sight.
Things Work Out
"It isn't as bad as you sometimes think it is.
It all works out. Don't worry.
I say this to myself every morning. It will all work out.
Put your trust in God and move forward with Faith and confidence in the future.
The Lord will not forsake us. He will not forsake us,...... if we will put our trust in Him, if we will pray to Him, if we will live worthy of His blessings, He will hear our prayers."
