Simple Things

I see that it has been quite a long time since I last blogged.  It has been a busy month, and a relaxing month all at the same time.  Aaron's parents were here over Christmas.  It was nice to be home and have them here with us.  We had a wonderful time, other than the fact that at one point or another we were all sick.  A nasty virus going around.  Hannah and Eli had ear infections to accompany the virus.  Yuck.  But we laid low and had a relaxing time with family.

Eli turned one.  It seems nearly impossible that an entire year has gone by since his birth.  He is walking a little bit, a few steps at a time.  Crawling is still his method of movement because it is so fast.  Hannah turns 7 next week.  I'm not nearly old enough to have a 7 year old!  She is very excited to be 7.  Isaac is excited for the party!

The new year of course brings thoughts of goals and new ideas for the year ahead.  I want to spend more time nurturing my relationship with Jesus Christ, the living God.  I plan on doing my best at living simply.  Not just saving money, but enjoying the simple things more and more.  I plan to continue to get myself well within my healthy range of weight.  I don't want to be at the top of that range, I want to be smack dab in the middle.  I want to always be growing as a wife and mother... figuring out how to do those things well.  As I look at those things, I think all in all it is just working at living in a healthy way in many ares of my life.

I am excited to see what God has planned for 2011.  I'm not looking for big, huge things... just the wonderful blessings of the little and simple things in my daily living.
