You Are Working In the Waiting...

 Today, I searched for blessings in my life. I am thoroughly aware what finding things to be thankful to God about does for your life. That being said, God brought to light many blessings...
1) Two little girlies who were dressed as princesses again :) who wanted to make cookies...

 2) My sweet little Annabelle whose favorite bibles story is in Daniel 3 about God being in the fire with Shadrach, Meshack, and Abednego. She sticks that book mark in at the page so she won't lose the spot. :) Love how often she reminds me of this story!

3) We curled Annabelle's hair for the first time ever and it looked beautiful.

 4) My baby was absolutely hilarious!

 5) Annabelle performed her Christmas Musical for her school. She was so funny. She really only did the motions for the finger play and some of the verses. She didn't sing one song. And she has practiced the songs like crazy at home. :) She told me when she sat down that she didn't want to sing. (of course!)

 6) I got to keep Adam at home from youth to go to the performance!

7) Everyone got cookies!!

 8) A friend brought me a meal

9) And another friend brought me flowers. :)

 10) And LOTS of friends sent me scripture and the Lord sustained me by His promises...

11) And this song and Matt Redman's whole 10,00 reasons cd is SUCH A BLESSING...filled with scripture and so good for the soul. 

Thankful Tuesday---Adelyn's Bible Story and God's Promise

I have so much to be thankful for today including this hilarious one above.

However, today I am focusing and thankful or this promise from my God from His word...

And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace [Who imparts all blessing and favor], Who has called you to His [own] eternal glory in Christ Jesus, will Himself complete and make you what you ought to be, establish and ground you securely, and strengthen, and settle you.

1 Peter 5:10

What a promise....

Bible Time & Cookie Decorating

Adam has recently started reading bible stories to the girls. Of course Adelyn is crawling all around and could really care less but Annabelle LOVES it! She eats every second of it up and I think it is so cute! I am thankful Adam wants to do this with the girls; it's so sweet!


Today, we went to a pumpkin cookie decorating party at the Westbrooks house for our church's play date. It was fun and of course Annabelle loved decorating and eating her cookie!


She was very hard at work!


She kept trying to eat the sprinkles out of the can...haha!!


What a pretty cookie!

I gave Adelyn a cookie to eat because she was going crazy for one...I know I know I probably shouldn't have but I really wanted to enjoy my time with Annabelle so I gave in. Adelyn loved it. Adam and I joke that on her first birthday she is going to want to eat her whole cake because she has such an appetite and she begs and begs for sweets when we eat them! haha!

Other news with us, Adelyn has stopped taking a bottle. :( This is the forth day of it! I am going to try to put her formula in a sippy cup when she wakes up from her nap but I have a feeling that she is finished with bottles. :( Oh that reminds me I need to post Adelyn's 10 month birthday! I'll get on that!!
