2014 has started out being one incredibly COLD winter!!! This is how we enjoy our days together indoors... We love playing games....Hungry Hungry Hippo is Jake's favorite. Caleb loves Go Fish! Micah is our Connect Four man! The boys happened to all go to the window at the same time and I'm glad I captured this moment...Please can we play outside??!!:)  Temps -20 or colder does not allow little boys to go outside:(  Daddy starts bonfires for us often so we can warm up our toes and enjoy chatting by the fire! Andrew's feet are almost as big as mommy's! Cookies, cookies, cookies...if you know us we are always baking cookies together! Special time with Caleb. Sugar cookies are his favorite and he loves squishing the dough with sugar and a cup! Someday I hope I visit him and he makes us sugar cookies to sit down and share. He's got the technique down perfect!:)  Caleb and I enjoyed some much needed alone time to the movies! We saw, ...

So thankful to celebrate 12 years together growing and falling more in love with each other and our Savior. We are thankful... For time together away... His love over us... The sound of His voice... The reminder of forgiveness and grace... His path planned out for us... The reminder of His power... His overwhelming love... Teaching us to always enjoy the journey...  Keeping our heart always seeking His leading... And our eyes always on You... We are thankful everyday by the many ways we see the Lord work in our marriage now and the many ways He has proven himself faithful in our past. We look forward to the days ahead as we continue to surrender wholeheartedly to His calling...together.
