Anonymous blessing


We decided late in the day that, after being cooped up in the house for days fighting off a cold, we would get out for a bit and head to our family's favorite pizza place for dinner. With Mark still looking for work, money is tight but sometimes a good pizza night out is just what the Doctor ordered! Our meal was as good as ever and the kids were on their best behavior while enjoying the live music and people watching (a.k.a staring). With tummies full and Gracey giving all the signs for "it's bed time", we started to clean up and asked for the check. To our sweet surprise, our waitress began to explain to us that a man sitting behind us earlier, had paid for our meal. She explained that he had just left and that he wanted to remain anonymous. Mark and I both with instant gratitude and thankfulness to God that He would use someone we don't even know to bless us this way. That God would move in somebody's heart to do this at that very moment, was further evidence to me that we have a loving God who provides for His children.

Thank you Jesus and I know you too will show your love and kindness to the man that did this for us.

It's time for a GRACEY Update!

Not that I ever doubted that God gave me this little girl for a reason, but I have to say that I can't believe what light she has brought to my life. She fills our home with giggles and funny baby babbles. Her smiles are endless, her eyes sparkle with sweetness, and her playfulness and excitement about life is contagious. One glance at this happy little girl and my heart is filled up. There is no doubt that God intended for her to bring this home life and love.
She found her place in our family and our hearts
from the moment she was born.


















Gracey baby was so adorable all throughout the Christmas holiday. I got to dress her up in all sorts of Christmasy outfits, and as you can see, she pulls it off really well.


Something to report is that G decided to try out some new things over the holidays...

Trying to CRAWL!
and...

SITTING UP!!!!


Christmas just gets even better when you add one more little elf to the family





Tubby Time!
