Birthdays are wonderful!  What makes them wonderful for me is knowing that God is not done with me yet on this earth.  He has a purpose and a plan for me and I am to work on it and to fulfill it.  I am thrilled about next year and what it entails.  I have my list of things I want to accomplish and am quite excited about it!  God has been good and Gracious.  He has blessed me beyond measure!  My family made it extra special and there is no other way I would rather spend it than with family!  Thank you to every single person that has gone above and beyond to make this day special!  I love you all immensely!!!

I figured it was about time to share our latest joy, we are having our THIRD miracle!  It feels unusual to even imagine it but we are beyond thrilled to welcome this precious life into our family in the beginning of December.  Yes!  Another, almost Winter baby 😉  Only God knows, maybe it will come in November 😉  This time around it has not been as much of a “walk in the park”, I have definitely felt sick for the first 14 weeks and that has not been fun, but I feel like we have turned the page and things are going a little better.  We had our first appointment at 10 weeks and the heart beat was 152 beats.  The plan is to definitely  find out the gender but have to wait until the end of July.  Most of the family are guessing it’s a boy, but only God knows and we will be thrilled either way 🙂  We pray for a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby!

Pismo beach, one of those spots that you find yourself dreaming about when you are having a gloomy day.  To sit by the ocean and to just be, to feel God’s presence as you listen to the waves crash and breath the most amazing air.  It has been a while since we have been able to get away but thank God he granted us that opportunity. It was neat to see Bella brave up with the waves but Joshua become quite the opposite and was more happy still wearing his shoes and sitting in the chair instead of running around.  It took him a while to warm up to the idea and actually remove his shoes, but he still struggles to get close to the water, which I completely understand for someone so little, the waves must look massive as they do for me 😉  We had  a hick up this time as our precious daughter got sick with a stomach flu, but a day in bed and all was better the next day!  The vacation was absolutely wonderful and we can’t wait to go back sometime hopefully within the next two years.

Easter always makes it to the top of the list of my favorite holidays.  What’s not to be excited about?  Christ is Risen!!!  I am beyond thrilled that our babies know who their Savior is and that they have an eternal life to look forward to.  A celebration would not be the same without family so we had a privilege to host this year and it was wonderful!

What fun opportunity we had!  We got to visit a lovely farm full of grapevines, lemon and orange trees.  There were definitely things like dirt, dust, heat and bees that made it feel very real and a bit uneasy for our little ones, but overall everyone was left very satisfied 🙂
