It's been a while...

I tried posting new pictures a couple of days ago, but it was so SLOW. I eventually gave up. We'll see if pictures are able to up load today. If not, you'll just get this.

Madelyn is doing great at potty training. She's so independent lately with it. Sometimes if you try to help her, she throws a fit. Not fun. She's getting great at coloring and staying in the lines and she still loves being a big sister and helping. Derek asked her the other day if she wanted to have another baby in the house. (Don't worry - we're NOT pregnant again!)She said no. And I'd have to second that, for right now.

Adriauna is still not walking on her own. Getting closer though. She has started to like to color and is not always try to eat the crayons now. :D She has gotten attached to a new stuffed animal giraffe that she received from my aunt and uncle. She usually has to take it out of her crib and has to have it when she goes to sleep. If she doesn't have it when she wants it, she points at it and says "GIGI". (That's what we named her.) Adriauna is saying "momma", "hi", "daddy", "papa", "bye", "please", and "thank you". She might be saying more, I just can't think of any more right now.

Brooklynn is getting bigger! She's smiling alot and sleeping alot. She's 2 months old today! She's starting to outgrow some of her 0-3 month clothes, which is mostly because they're all hand-me-downs. Nothing much else to report for her.

Derek is still working at Lowe's, being a light for Christ. Doors have been opened then closed for us and some doors are still opened - for our next ministry opportunity. We're waiting for God to show us where we are headed next. But I have to admit that I'm getting a little impatient.

It's been a big struggle for me because I don't want to move too far away because my family is so close to where we have been for the last 6 years. It's been extremely a blessing to be this close so the girls can be around family. I'm not telling God that I won't go where he wants us, because then I'll just be more miserable if we end up in a place where He doesn't want us. It's just a big waiting game now. We're still trying to "stay afloat". Friends and family are still blessing us financially as Lowe's pays substantially lower than what Derek was being paid. God is taking care of us, like we knew He would.

Hope everyone is having a good Sunday! (Madelyn and Adriauna have colds so we decided just to stay home today and not "church-hop" like we have been doing.) Praying that you are all blessed as we head into the Easter season.
