The first of many forts

We had an awesome weekend. It is President's Day/Valentine's weekend so that means I got Friday and Monday off to be home with L. Jordan worked both days, but we did enjoy the weekend.

The boys had a boys' night on Friday while I attended a concert with my mom and sisters. Yippy for girl time (and boy time)! Saturday, the three of us took a quick trip to Willmar to get a few errands taken care of. When we were home, the boys started making a fort to play in. Jordan thought it was high-time that Logan learn how to build and play in forts. He got such a kick out of it. Building the fort, putting the blankets up, playing peek-a-boo... it was all such fun.

Made me smile as I mostly sat back and watched them playing. Made me thankful that Logan has such a good, playful daddy to help him learn things like building a fort. It also made me thankful to see how happy L was in such a simple activity. He really is easily amused. We are blessed to have such a good boy. I'm thankful for weekends like this past weekend to remind me that love really does make the world go round... and that we are STILL having the time of our lives.

Proverbs 15:13
A glad heart makes a cheerful face, but by sorrow of heart the spirit is crushed.

Baptism blessings

We were able to spend the day with family to celebrate Miss Addelyn's baptism. It was such a wonderful day. God has been so good to us. As I stood up to sponsor this sweet girl I thought of how very loved she is. She had her siblings and many cousins surrounding her. It was pretty chaotic; but in such a good way. She has so many people to look up to as she grows and learns. She has many aunts/uncles, grandparents, siblings, cousins and wonderful parents to help guide her to living a godly life. 

I'm thankful to have her in my life. I'm thankful that I get to see her grow up. I'm thankful that God has redeemed her and called her His own. Baptism really is a beautiful gift. 

"For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ." 

[Galatians 3:27]

Walk this way

Walking... Finally, officially walking! L-man took his first few steps on Christmas Day 2014 at just over 1 year. He began really walking multiple steps and finding his balance at 13 months. But now, just a couple weeks later he is a fulltime walker. He is so busy. He sleeps so well at night. All that exercise seems to wear him out. 

It is so very fun to watch him grow, learn, and explore each day. We find ourselves spending much time each day just taking in his explorations. Oh how fun! 

Well now that he is walking and talking we can start telling him to sit down and be quiet! (Courtesy of my grandma)
