Back to Blogging :-)

After a really long break, I am realizing that I miss this blogging world. I miss being able to look back on documented stories and pictures. I've also been told it's a good way for our family and friends (especially those not close to us locally) to keep up to date on our busy little family! And we love you guys, we love hearing from you too! So this first one will be short and sweet, but I'm excited to be back! Some things I'm hoping to blog about in the near future:

~Noah, of course (I have officially become an obnoxious mom that talks about little except her child) :-)

~Our daily adventures

~Things God is teaching me

~The progress we are making with our house (I know, it's STILL not done!?)...I'm beginning to realize I maybe have unrealistic standards for myself...but hopefully we'll have some more pictures of how we're trying to make our house pretty! But I must say, I am GRATEFUL to have a beautiful home that is so full of potential we can fill over the years, God has been good.

~My joys of gardening, which so far just include attempting to keep the weeds under control (hopefully I can plant something pretty in the ground this year!)

~My sewing adventures...yup, I'm going to take a class!

~My cooking creations and/or mishaps.

~Our camping and backpacking adventures, we love the great outdoors!

~Any other things I might take up that allow me to have a creative outlet...because with a 2 year old, I need that in my life!

Speaking of Noah, can you believe he will be TWO next month!? I can't either! Everyone always tells you life goes so fast, I'm starting to believe them. Can we please push pause for just a minute?? He keeps us on our toes, for sure. He is ALL boy...we've recently been working in the yard, and let me tell you, he would dig in the dirt from morning till night if I let him! I love that about him though. In fact, yesterday he tried to eat a worm for the first time...yikes.

So bye for now, hope to be back soon! Here are a few recent pictures, enjoy!

Valentine's Day this year, Andy surprised me with an amazing fondue dinner!
