Do You Want To…Go For A Sled Ride?

December 29, 2016March 22, 2017

One thing about Michigan winters (that we kind of forgot about) was that they can drastically change in temperature (not just weather like MN). It was in the mid-30s one day and Mazy’s cousins came over to play. They were sweet enough to take Mazers out too, and what a ball she had! I don’t think I saw that smile come off her face. There is something about taking a little one outside – the freedom that you can visibly see, the joy and fresh air they get, and just the love they have for enjoying God’s creation, at such a young age. Another thing Mazy has taught me – take time to enjoy the God-given and not always the man-made.

Her cousins were so patient with her; thanks to them for making sledding something Mazy now loves! (Of course she has way more fun with them than mommy!)

I just can’t get over the marshmallow look on a toddler!

We had another warm day back in St. Joseph, so I was able to pull Mazy around the yard, which she probably could have done for an hour!

God’s Plan + Our Circumstances = His Perfect Timing

Sure was a snowy and chilly week here in the Midwest! It’s going to be a little quiet here these next 2 weeks as our family goes on a little hiatus to Florida to visit Dan’s parents. We are ready to relax, refresh, and rejuvenate as we explore more of God’s creation and soak in…

Moments of Miracles and Speechlessness

I first want to say thank you for understanding what I was trying to say in my last post. I was honestly nervous to post it because it was those deep, deep pieces of my heart, that I knew I wanted to share, but wasn’t certain how they would be taken. Sharing the depths of…

Around The Home

Welcome August! We knew the summer would fly with all the changes and happenings that have been a bit unusual in our summers of the past, but we sure have enjoyed it! The weather this summer has been everything beautiful. We have had very few rainy days, which unfortunately means a dryer summer for the…

Around The Home

This past week we had another wonderful week mainly at home! That has been my goal this Christmas season – to enjoy time at home! Not that we couldn’t go do things, but the fun activities we find to do at home, are just as special! And all the more, our creative juices just start…

Abundant Blessings

This noon, Dan and I were sitting down for lunch and I was telling him how the baby was moving like crazy. I tried to get the baby to move enough so that Dan could feel, but the baby decided it needed a take a rest. Dan turned around and looked that the ultrasound picture…
