There seems to be a reoccurring question; "Are you settling back into a family of three?" I'm not quite sure how to answer that. Honestly, it doesn't even feel as if Tom has been gone for a year. Yet there are a few underlying currents that continue to remind us that it has been 12 month. I feel as though the whole experiences has given us a whole new outlook on life in general. We still have that fun bantering, the teasing, and fully packed days. However, I have noticed that we all remind each other more of our love. Our hugs are a little longer, snuggle family time is more often and just basking in the moment. Does that really answer the question? Not really, I'm not even sure if I know the answer.
Okay enough of this juicy stuff!
What have we been up to??????
A little of this, a little of that, and a whole lot of everything. The hunt for a job, regrettably, has taken top priority. A few leads, but nothing to talk about as of yet. We just keep reminding ourselves that its in God's hands. Tom and I got to spend a glorious night by ourselves at Silver Mountain Resort. A belated anniversary celebration. We've been busy canning, preserving and experimenting. Filling my hubby's belly with yummy wholesome food, yard selling, cleaning and a fun day at Silverwood Theme Park. Among all this fun, my camera has never found its way to my hand. I have kicked myself numerous times in the past weeks for being without it. So instead I have had to rely on my phone's camera. Such a pitiful camera and I am ashamed to even call these pictures. I need to pull my head out of the clouds and get with the picture taking. :)
So with all the mumbo jumbo out of the way, here are a few random pictures of the past few weeks. I will try and explain where and why they were taken. But before we part, I want to share this song we sang last Sunday. When the words to this song hit me, it was all I could do to remain standing.What a powerful reminder. With out further ado:
All Is Well
He lowers us to raise us,
so we can sing His praises.
Whatever is His way, all is well.
He makes us rich and poor
That we might trust Him more.
Whatever is His way, all is well.
All my changes come from Him,
He who never changes.
I'm held firm in the grasp (my favorite lines)
of the Rock of all ages.
All is well with my soul.
He is God, in control.
I know not His plans,
But I know I'm in His hands.
He clothes us now, then strips us,
yet with His word equips us.

| Silver Mt. has a water park. Dad was nice enough to meet us half way the next day with Haylie , so she can remind us how to be kids again. |
 |
| Mentally kicking myself for no camera. |
 |
| Long day at the water park = SLEEP |
 |
| Okay so every time I look at this picture I laugh my head off. Haylie was trying to impress her dad by doing a handstand on the wall. So Tom says, "Haylie watch this!" and promptly stands on his head. Here he is showing Haylie how to start the head stand and then extend her legs up. |
