Okay. I know. I have said before that I wouldn't blog. I have fallen into peer pressure. I admit it. So I figured since I'm on the computer for about 23 hours a day a might as well. I must make you, may faithful reader, aware of one thing. In no way is this going to be well written, inspiring, or even something you find interesting. But I will promise this. I will promise to try!!
So for my first blog, what to blog about? There is so much I could write about. Kids, Chris, Church, Friends, the "Mexican" in my house... Gee where do I begin? I guess with the new year underway and the holidays behind, I can let you in on how insane it was around here. First off this year was the first one where Hallie really understood what was going on. She got the whole "Santa" coming and bringing gifts, but more inportantly she understood that it was Jesus' birthday. The only thing she is struggling with is that she thinks Santa and Jesus live together and that Jesus helps Santa get ready for Christmas. I think I should work on that. Seriously, she really enjoyed this Christmas. As for us, it was so busy! Going from house to house, accumulating more stuff at each one, and trying to keep everyone well was the hardest! Both kids got sick right after the holidays. Jackson was cutting two teeth, (I know, I know..."All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth" ) believe me I've h
eard that one. But with the two teeth came double ear infections! Yikes! Then Hallie gets some kind of sinus/bacterial infection that seemed to last forever! Now that everyone is well, things have seemed to calm down somewhat.
So for my first post, I think I will close with this. I think that despite the craziness of the past couple of weeks, I have learned something. No matter how much goes on, how much you think things are spinning out of control, Christ always seems to make things stand still so you can focus on Him. In the middle of all that happened, I was reminded of how much Christ had done for us over the past year. We were blessed with a son, which we didn't think was possible. I have a daughter whom I love more and more everyday. I prayed for "real" friends and have been blessed in that area of my life too! I guess with all this rambling, I am truly thankful!
