Our Weekend and Encouraging words.....

Update: Coleson took 5 steps for Dennis and I tonight. We both got really excited. It won't be long now!

This past weekend was extremely busy but we had a lot of fun. We got up Saturday and took Abbey to Common Ground and picked her up at lunch time. We went and tried Mississippi Legend Grill for lunch. The food was really good but it took FOREVER to get our food…over an hour waiting on it. The kids had a great time though. You place your order on a touch screen at the table and then you can play games on it. That entertained them the entire time.

We left there and took Dennis and Brandon home and me, Abbey and Coleson headed out to a Kelly’s Kids clothing party. We came home to the boys being lazy watching TV. Saturday night, we went to Dennis’s sister’s house to eat supper. His mom cooked ribs and chicken. It was yummy and the kids got to spend time with their cousins. On the way home Coleson was wathcing Abbey play her DS and had his hand on her arm. It was the sweetest thing.

We got up Sunday and had family pictures made. I will post the link to these as soon as I get them back. I am sure they turned out super cute…from what I saw they did! Abbey had softball practice right after lunch. Coleson took his first step at her practice. I second guessed myself after it happened and thought maybe I was just hoping he did, BUT the daycare told me today that he took a step for them so my baby will be walking soon. Then it was off to a Super Bowl party last night. There were tons of kids there so we all had a great time. We ate some good finger foods (which I love) and had a great time with friends.

Coleson found this rocking chair and enjoyed sitting in it.


Coleson moved rooms at daycare today. He is no longer in the baby room all day, just a few hours. They only allow 5 kids in his new room at a time. Am I sad about this? Not really! I am just thankful that I have a sweet, precious boy to move up to the next room.

This was posted on another blog I read today. Thanks Valerie for the encouraging words. This was perfect for today!
"Come to Me for rest and refreshment. The journey has been too much for you, and you are bone-weary. Do not be ashamed of your exhaustion. Instead, see it as an opportunity for Me to take charge of your life. Remember that I can fit everything into a pattern for good, including the things you wish were different. Start with where you are at this point in time and space, accepting that this is where I intend you to be. You will get through today one step, one moment at a time. Your main responsibility is to remain attentive to Me, letting Me guide you through the many choices along your pathway.This sounds like an easy assignment, but it is not. Your desire to live in My Presence goes against the grain of "the world, the flesh, and the devil." Much of your weariness results from your constant battle against these opponents. However, you are on the path of My choosing, so do not give up! Hope in Me, for you will again praise Me for the help of My Presence.------taken from Jesus Calling by Sarah Young
