Chandler's Busy 1st Thanksgiving Feast!

I am so late putting these up...but we had a great 1st Thanksgiving and cannot begin to express our thankfulness for our little one. We praise God for giving us a healthy family that was around to celebrate Thanksgiving for another year! Chandler's 1st taste of sweet potatoes (a TINY bit!...he spit it out ;)




We made a quick stop to the Williams'...Ashley and John were in town and had just got their new pup Paisley...she's so cute and energetic!

Watch this video from Matt Chandler, pastor of the Village Church...He has been in my prayers as he recently went into surgery to remove a brain tumor.

This has been an encouragement to me this morning, oh the opportunity to honor God in the worst of struggles.

Have a blessed day,

Lindsey

Thankful

On this Thanksgiving day I am thanking God for all the wonderful blessings in our lives and for his faithful provision for our family this year! He has provided when we were both without jobs with a baby on the way, also faithful starting a new business in the scariest economy of our lifetime when we didn't know how our next month's bills would get paid. How he has blessed and taken care of us! He provided wonderful friends and family to encourage us, his word to strengthen our hearts, healed our newborn son when he was born with lung issues and pneumonia, kept our family safe, a roof over our head, cars to drive and food to eat. He allowed us to live in a free country with a military fighting for our freedom- We thank them and praise HIM today!


Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!

3 Months!

I just can't believe this little angel is 3 months already! Right now as he's SITTING UP in my lap with his HEAD UP, I just think "where did the time go??" I still feel stuck back in August. This past week Chandler experienced his first cold :( not fun...but he definitely wanted to be held more than usual so of course I didn't mind! He's doing better but is still a little stuffy. By the way, have you ever seen a baby love a nasal aspirator?? This one does! He just laughs and laughs when I do it. :)

I feel so amazingly blessed and I'm so excited for his first Thanksgiving.

"talking" after bath time

For some reason....I get the best conversations and faces right after he's had a bath or he's on the changing table :) Go figure. He's a doll though. I enjoy every minute. He's holding his head up really well and is now sleeping 12 hours at night! I'm so proud of the little chunk.

Over the hill....

So I know I'm not over the hill yet really, but this birthday felt like it! 26 is now in the UPPER 20's. I had a great birthday though. We decided to take advantage of the nice weather and head out to St. Augustine for the day. My sister and some of my sweet friends came out to join us for dinner. We had a nice picnic lunch on the grass next to the fort and just spent the day walking around and then headed to Creekside for dinner. If you've never been there its really good food with some fun atmostphere..live music outside. I didn't remember it being this loud but I think things change after you have kids, I think alot of things are loud now :) It was a great day and thanks to everyone who joined us.
