Whew! What a crazy couple of months!

The title of this post says it all. Simply put, we have had a crazy couple of months! Where do even begin? We did finally get to move into our new house which I am so in love with. I still drive in the driveway and as myself "Is this really my house?" Then I say a quiet prayer to God for His faithfulnnes in allowing this house to possible for us. Maggie loves her new "pink" house too. Since her room is pink, I guess she thinks that her house is pink too. We have a fabulous back driveway/yard that we spend most of our time in playing with sidewalk chalk, swinging, playing with sticks and dirt and picking up rocks. The inside is just as great and we are loving the fact that we are getting back into normal life and able to have friends over to enjoy it with us. If you are asking why we are getting back to normal life you can read all about it on my brother's blog (The Whitmire Family) Now that we have everyone back in the Falls all is great! Lisa is just the best mommy to Henry and Charlotte and the doctors are saying that she will make a full recovery! Adam is juggling new daddyhood and working and no sleep so very well! Looking back on the journey I have been on with them seriously brings tears to my eyes. It has allowed me to lean into my sweet Jesus more than I ever have. I always have thought how selfish it is of me to call out to Jesus in times of crisis 24 hours a day and then in really good times just go on my merry way and kinda forget to be thankful. Due to all of the times of tears of joy and sadness over the last 2 months I am in constant prayer throughout the day. It has made me sing His praises for the little things like Maggie's joyous laugh as well as to call to Him when I hear something terrible has happened. I came across of quote that has dug into my heart lately. "He is Who He was before today" Basically He is the same God in the good times and bad times. It has been so refreshing to allow these words to sink in. I have seen a side of Jesus that I never have before and I am truly thankful for that.
Here is a lot of pictures of the missy (and us) for you to enjoy!

Update on the Whitmire Family

I posted last week that my brother and his wife Lisa's babies were born last week. Tuesday Lisa was daiagnosed with congestive heart failure (due to her high rish pregnancy) and the doctors found blood clots on her heart. (due to her being on bedrest for 2 months) As you can imagine, this has been very difficult for our family to take. You can click on their link to read about the latest prayer needs. Please add them to your list! God is good and will get them through all of this!

Happy Birthday Maggie!

Sweet Maggie Grace turns 2 today! I am still trying to wrap my head around the fact that two years have gone by. It has gone so fast! We had a fun weekend celebrating with family. She really was overwhelmed with everyone watching but loved her presents. She is talking in sentences now and I can actually carry on a convsersation with her which is so fun! I am blessed beyond belief that I have a healthy two year old that is so full of love. Here are some recent pictures of her.

LOVE

What's not to love about this face?!

We have had a great Valentine's weekend. Sweet Maggie has had pneumonia since Thursday. I think that this is the sickest she has been. We have had to do lots of breathing treatments and have been watching either Blues Clues or Clifford for the last three days. My parents came over to watch her last night while Danny and I went to the Straight Street Valentine's Dance and had a great time raising money for an amazing ministry. She is much better today so I am praying we will be better soon!
