Not a whole lot new around the Sterk home, but here’s a peak into our week!

One of our DEAR dear friends, got engaged this week! We couldn’t be more excited for them!

The sunsets and sunrises have just been stunning!

Saturday we spent the day in St. Joseph with the Vriezemas enjoying God’s creation, making Christmas pots, and just being together. Couldn’t have asked for a better beautiful day!

Morgan and Mazy are like old friends, always picking up right where they left off!

Let the Christmas pot making begin!

And what made it even better was making them with this crew!

Here’s the final product! And indeed, those are pumpkins still on the front porch that I still have to get rid of!

Now we just need some snow! Here’s to entering Thanksgiving week with a heart of gratitude. Not a heart of angst of what has, is, and maybe will happen, but taking each moment to just be thankful. For in every moment, we ALL have things to be thankful for, but sometimes we just have to choose to find them. Make that choice this week!

Introducing Solid Foods

This post is a long time in coming, but on July 15, we introduced little Mazy to rice cereal! She turned 4 months that Friday, but decided that she was hungry enough to want it, and growing enough to need it. We are hoping this fills her up a bit more, and so far, it…

Brenda’s Story

As many of you know, there is a woman that I have a friendship with that goes beyond human terms. To describe the relationship I have with Brenda Vriezema, well, it is indescribable. This is the very woman who felt the call of God on her life, to carry our children, when I was not…

I realized that either I didn’t have much going on this week or I was too busy to take pictures…well I say this past week was an even mix. So, not much to update in pictures, but it sure was a fun week! For New Year’s Eve we went to our friend’s house and had…

Just another pretty normal week at the Sterks! Mazy has learned to turn around in a circle while sitting on her bottom, so maybe she will end up scooting across the floor instead of crawling! Her vocab is also becoming quite extensive, even though we aren’t always sure what she is saying! I recently taught…
