" SPRINGTIME"

We welcome you spring with open arms... seeing the children playing outside last evening was so filling to this mother's heart.... even if it's in the MUD.. and I have to repeat myself again and again to come in thru the basement....  I'm just excited to have them spend time outside and not have them put layers upon layers of cloths on...

We have had some crazy weather this past week.. we had very strong winds on Thursday evening the 13...which we woke up to this fence being on the ground...

Then on Saturday weather in the 50's and it was beautiful... we ended up raking some of the yard which was so not in my plans when I woke up but I decided to take full advantage when my hubby said lets help each other...it don't get any better then that:)

beautiful blue skies....

we even had to rake around some snow piles....

seriously looks so much better....

 we had a taste of spring... then Monday morning we woke up to a couple inches of snow...and a 2 hour delay.... but didn't stay on the ground long because the next couple days we were back to spring like weather... and yesterday was the first day of SPRING.... so its coming peoples... I'm so ready to work in the yard but I no it wont be as easy with a 4 month old so I'm gonna enjoy these next few weeks yet before its a must to get out there.... he is such a blast right.. its almost like he expects someone in his face at all times when he's awake but really why shouldn't there be right I mean after all there are 7 of us here to give him attention....he started coughing on purpose to get our attention sometimes... but really he don't have a chance he gotta grow up fast to keep up with his brothers
I so want to enjoy this season in our life to the fullest and take every thing in.... 
PRAYER IS THE ONLY WAY TO BE THE MOTHER GOD WANTS ME TO BE.....
  we love you baby Austin...

and then this little/big guy ends up with chicken pox..... have no idea who he was in contact with be he got them good... but being the trooper he is he never complains....  I might have to take a lesson from him....:)

I was again reminded this week that GOD is in control....  when we heard that this baby died the day of his mothers sisters wedding, I wondered why, why would our God choose to take him almost the same time that they were saying their vows, I mean why... I just didn't understand... but then I was reminded that his ways are not our ways and his thoughts are not our thoughts... and that he wants his people to know he is in control.... a reminder that we do not have to worry but trust in Him...

TRUST ME AND DON'T BE AFRAID ..... FOR I AM YOUR STRENGHT AND SONG!!!!!



Blessings on your day!!!
