Haven Faith: February 2007

11 months old today!

Haven just loves her cousins! She had a great time when they came to babysit her with Aunt Loretta and Uncle Van this weekend! In fact, she had such a great time that she barely slept, so she made up for it today, but sleeping four hours in two naps and going to bed at 7:15. She's so cute, though, my sweetie-pie!

Well, my brain is a little fried right now because I just tried to post this post and then the internet shut off, so I'm doing it all over again, so forgive me for being a little shorter than I would have been! This month has been crazy busy for us with something going every weekend and a lot of weekdays, but God has been so good and so faithful! He has given grace and strength for every situation, and provided in incredible ways! This past weekend Steve and I went on Brookside's annual couple's retreat and got to hear Pastor Tim Jordan speak. It was incredible and and God did some great work in my life, for sure, and Steve's, too. It was hard to hear the truth of how selfish we are in marriage, but it was needed, and God used His Word to penetrate my heart. I am so thankful!
Hope you all enjoy these pictures and have a wonderful week! We are enjoying some warmer weather after it being it the teens for quite a while, so I am super excited about that! Well, good night, that's all for now!

Early Feb update

My cutie pa-tooty!

This past week we went up to Northland! We got up there Tuesday and stayed till Thursday afternoon for Heart Conference. It was great to be able to see so many friends and of course family. I'm shooting myself that I didn't take more pictures when I was there, but we will be back this weekend for Snow Camp so I'm planning on taking more pix then. Friday night I had a bunch of Junior and Senior girls over and we had a great time playing games, eating pizza and just hanging out. Lots of fun!
We have been having sub-zero weather here. Yesterday morning I got in the car to go to church and the temperature gauge said -8 degrees. Freezing! Today it is about the same, but tomorrow it is supposed to warm up to 14! Yea! It hasn't been this cold in 10 years! We are keeping warm inside and warming up the car before we go anywhere!
Well, Haven is pulling up to things like crazy now. She's on the move. We have also started the process of weaning! She took a bottle of whole milk from Steve yesterday no problem, and then from me today! SO I am so excited! I didn't think it would be this easy! This month is pretty crazy busy for us, but hopefully things will slow down more in March. God is definitely using this to keep us totally dependent on Him and to trust Him with everything! He is so good and His timing is best!
