Did I mention I got a new smart phone for Christmas? It's wonderful to have everything at my fingertips, but I still haven't figured out all the different ways to use it. This includes using it as a camera. Sure, I know how to take pictures, but I don't have a good way of getting them off. I can email them individually, but it seems like a headache. However, with knowing that I always have a camera with me, I'm not taking my big camera with me everywhere. I'm discovering though that that means I'm just not getting any pictures of anything.
Here are ALL the pictures I took with the big camera this month:
Making Valentines for preschool and other friends...
We're always reading...
Z loves trying to weave. It's pretty hard for him, but he perseveres...
This month has been more of what we started in January. We've looked into and pursued options in a couple of different mission organizations, met with our pastor, got passports for the kids, and lots and lots of praying. We're looking right now into going as tent-makers in Thailand, but we are still open to what God has planned for us.
The boys have been enjoying some of their extra-curriculars. N is in Homezone at the YMCA again, and it is going really well. With the weather being inconsistent, it gives him an outlet once a week to burn some energy. The first hour they do organized games in the gym, and the second hour is in the pool. Z is too young for Homezone, but we have him in swim lessons at the same time. His teacher this session was fantastic and he's making great strides in his confidence in the water.
My big wonderful outing was the opportunity to go the MomHeart Conference in Irvine, CA. This conference is hosted by the Clarkson family, and I've spent a lot of the past year reading most of their books on parenting. It was fantastic to actually hear Sally Clarkson speak. I loved her as an author and was pleased to find that she is even a better speaker! I also got to hang out with my cousin and another good college friend surrounding the conference. I stayed with my brothers in their condo, and my parents were able to be around a lot that weekend too. It was so refreshing to have a break AND to be renewed in my purpose as a mom.
I laughed so much with my family down there. They are so wonderful. I'll leave you with a photo I scavenged from my phone. I have some more pretty bad ones of all five of us, but I'll keep those to myself. =)
