What's New?

Sometimes I get so caught up in our day to day (mis)adventures that when people ask me, "What's new with you?" I really don't have an answer.  Because, honestly, the life of a stay at home mom can look a little like the movie Groundhog Day.  It can feel mundane and monotonous.  Sometimes not a lot seems new.  And that's OK.  I'm becoming more content with that.

It's been over a month since I posted anything, I think because I've been waiting for something noteworthy to happen.  I even had to look back at recent pictures in my phone just to recall exactly what's been going on with us lately.  I didn't find anything too glamorous or exciting, but hey...maybe the sweet, simple, routine stuff doesn't have to be noteworthy to be blog-worthy.

So what did we do in the month since my last post?

The girls helped me decorate for Valentine's Day


We went to Marbles 


We went to library story time, then re-created it at home


Sampson did a lot of this


Reagan and I took a selfie


Hadley decided that the best and only place to be ever is with a sister




Everybody got taller



And smarter.  See the shapes and letters made out of pretzels??  Geniuses.




This happened.  (Your guess is as good as mine.)  


And this.  


See that guy?  Someone once told me he was "God's perfect provision for me".  At the time I was a sleep-deprived mom of three infants and to be honest I barely even thought about what she was saying, much less knew what she meant.  But I've never forgotten those words, and now I see just how true they are!  He serves without complaining, sacrifices without drawing attention to himself or patting himself on the back (an example I could stand to emulate).  He is an incredible husband and the daddy I'd wish for every little girl.  And even though nothing much has been new or exciting in our lives lately, he has continued to be a faithful servant to our family and I have become even more aware of what a blessing he is!
