This is our Bichon Angel. Josh had some free time and did her hair. After my sister saw the awful torture poor Angel had to endure, she saw the onzie below and just had to buy it!

Annie's turn!

God has been teaching me so much about trusting him and giving him control. Every day, I look at my life and it doesn't seem to be what I wanted it to be because I am not able to control every little aspect. (Like money, for example) I'm not unhappy, I love my life - but every time I try to control something I seem to fail at it and I end up praying and I hear God saying, "When will you just let me do it?" Steven Curtis Chapman has a song that goes, "God is God and I am not." So true! So this week I have been spending more time in the word/prayer than I have been bent over the checkbook or planning out my life. You know what I have found? More peace and fun in life! I love God so much, he is always so faithful!

School is absurdly easy (thank the Lord) and I have been working a lot less (hence the money issues). This is the first time in my life that I have more free time than I know what to do with - so why is our house not spic'n'span? Cause I'm used to disciplining myself when I have way-too-much going on in life and I have just gotten lazy. Maybe I'll feel better about myself if I actually live in a spotless house for more than 2 days.....emotions are my favorite thing - lol - you never know what you're going to get!!

I will say this about my pregnancy - if all my pregnancies are this easy, I don't know how I can say no to "as many kids as God blesses us with" as Josh so lovingly puts it. There are times when I don't even feel pregnant - just large... hehehehe


God bless you all!!!
