The week of Christmas. We often spend so much time preparing for it that when it comes to the actual week, are we eager? Worn out? Ready? Focused? Humbled? What feelings are you experiencing? Are you looking for ways in which God is revealing Himself to you? I can get so caught up in the mundane and busyness of life, that I forget to do this. And then I go to bed wondering, what have I missed? My hope is that this week, we can all find time, moments, and ways that God is revealing Himself to us. May we not lose sight!

Preparations aside, we’ve been able to enjoy quality time with family, which is filled with one earthly blessing after another.

Mazy and I visited our town’s museum with my parents:

We headed down to St. Joseph (our old stomping grounds!) and met Dan’s family at a local Bob Evan’s, which was a great central meeting place for us all! We couldn’t help but stop by the beach while there! This girl ALWAYS gravitates towards water, no matter how cold it is:

It was a TAD chilly (sorry Dan)…

Gingerbread house making time:

Last, but not least, we had our youth group Christmas party, featuring white elephant gifts!

LOVE this crew!

    Another week in the books! We have enjoyed getting back into the routine of school, though it always means a busier schedule, right? So to say the least, last week I had ZERO pictures from the week and this week, just a small handful. So here we go: Mazy is obsessed with the idea that…

    This past week was an exciting week! We celebrated Mazy’s 3rd birthday this week, the March Madness has begun, visited the Critter Barn, and finished up some projects around the house. We are getting the spring itch, so we find ourselves outside more and more (even when it’s still in the 30s), going outside, visiting…
