New Toys

So after waiting forever it seems, Verizon finally came out with the iphone. Rick and I have been saving our "fun money" for months and it finally paid off. We are both now proud owners of the iphone 4. We are very excited since we have always had the "whatever you can get free" phones.

The gadgets in our house are multiplying because the camera we decided to use our credit card rewards for finally arrived. We got the Canon rebel xsi. We got a great deal on it from the Canon website. We are very excited to have a nice camera for Reagan.

So the following are pics from the iphone and the Rebel.

The new Iphone

Reagan and Fennie

A little smile

I came in one morning and found her like this...She is a squirmy little thing.

Happy Valentine's day! 

Here is our Valentine's day dinner. Chicken parmesan. Yum.

Here are some pics i took on the rebel. 

This is my favorite pic we have of Reagan. Love her smiles. 

Here's the new toy!! So excited to learn how to use it! 

Thanks for reading! 

2 months

So I haven't updated this in a while... I keep thinking " I need to blog today"but in the midst of everything we have going on it just doesn't happen.  But in light of Reagan turning 2 months tomorrow I thought I would post a few pics.

She wasn't pleased to be getting that bath...the face was too good not to post.

a little happier in her bunny towel. It was one of the things I had to splurge on at pottery barn and of course I had a coupon. :)

Her first visit to Chick-fil-a. There will be many more to come, I am sure. 

She loves to sleep on Daddy's chest.  He adores her, how could you not.

I was trying on this sweater dress my sister got (which as you can see is way too big still) and she just looked so cute.

Here she is chilling in the bumbo...looking a little crazy. She will fit in well with this family.

I love this jacket, got it on sale from old navy, it is fuzzy and has ears- how could I pass it up.  Reagan looks less impressed. 

More Daddy time. 

The future Mr. and Mrs. Trent. Levi is the other team leader and his wife's son. He was born in October. It is fun that she has other kids to grow up around here in Gainesville.

Check out the post to follow and Happy 2 month to our sweet little Reagan! 

Ps 42

Ever since a few years ago, in the midst of a crazy time in my life where all I wanted to do is question God and His intentions for my life I, God has been teaching me a lesson about trusting Him. Thanks to a book called "Behold your God" by Myrna Alexander I have spent the last few years studying and trying my best to focus on the attributes of God. 

You see God taught me the best way for me to fight my doubts of His faithfulness and plan for my life is to focus on who He is and how that affects my life.  So when Rick left to go to Italy for a year, day in a day out I would go to the scripture and look up verses helping me to remember that God was sovereign and loved me more than I could imagine. Then last year, when we lost a baby to a miscarriage it was back to the scriptures again trying to trust that God in his all knowing-ness knew much more what that baby needed than I did.  

So it was so fun today to see  a biblical example of this. Someone else (presumably David) struggling to trust God's plan and fighting it with remembering God's character. 

The main verse 42: 5 (and 11)

"Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again  praise him, my salvation and my God."

then he remembers other attributes in 

2- God is a living God

5- God is our salvation

8- God has steadfast love for us

9- God is our Rock

11- same as 5 God is our salvation and our God

It gave me hope that if David, in the midst of all the crazy things in his life, could fight his doubts with meditating on the promises of God and who is He is then so could I.
