Little Monkey

I'm not sure if this is normal or not for a new three year old, but Scarlett is getting very acrobatic. She recently learned to hang upside down from her swing-set bar.  When she was out playing in the backyard the other day, I looked out the window to check on her and saw that she had positioned her doll on the bar too. She'll flip over sometimes, but I couldn't get her to do it for the video. I guess she's ready to start gymnastics!

Big Girl Bed

Scarlett is now in her big girl bed!

The toddler bed just seemed too small so we went ahead and up-sized. I find comfort in the fact that this is still her crib since it was the conversion kind. Her little teeth marks are even on the foot-board from when she was a baby since that was the front rail of the crib which I like seeing too. She really likes having a big girl bed "like London," and she doesn't roll out of it when she's asleep!

And she's done smiling....

Happy Mother's Day!

My mom is so wonderful! I love her so much. She is a huge support, a wonderful friend, so much fun, and she's the best grandma to Scarlett. I don't know what I'd do without her. Love you mom!!

And I'm so thankful to be a mommy myself! What a blessing it is to be able to raise, love, and enjoy Scarlett. God has blessed me tremendously. I am so undeserving but so very very thankful.

My memory verse for this week from the bible study I'm currently reading is fitting too:

"Charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised." Provers 31:30

It is my prayer to be that woman. Happy Mother's Day to everyone!!

Easter Celebration Part Three

Easter morning we were finally able to just relax as a family and focus on Jesus. Our church is so amazing, and we love it there. Our pastor made a rare and bold decision to give every dime of the money that came in through the offering on Easter away to charities and organizations that help those in need. They did not keep any for the church or the the church's budget. I can't wait to hear how we were able to impact those in need. Thank you Jesus for your ultimate sacrifice. He is risen! Happy Easter!

Luke 24:1-7
1 On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. 2 They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, 3 but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4 While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them. 5 In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead? 6 He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: 7 ‘The Son of Man must be delivered over to the hands of sinners, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.’
