Cousin Time

It was so nice to have the cousins together again. Here are the two boys in the same pose that we had them in the last time we were all together. Both are much bigger :)

These pictures were rushed and Zane hadn't had his nap. It was the last day we were all together before Marie and Jon headed to the airport. You can see Zane's sleepy eyes :( so cute! 

~I think Winston wants to help Zane feel better :D

~And he hopes putting his hand on his face will help him to stop crying and keep the noise down!

:D

~Zane 13 months and Winston 6 Months

Take a look at their last visit together and how much younger they both were.

Benjamin and I were away this last weekend. It was so nice especially since we had to say goodbye to our company last week. The trip to Orlando helped sooth away my sorrow after our family returned to Ohio. 

Benjamin had bought us tickets in January to the Freedom Concerts put on by Colonel Oliver North and Sean Hannity. The concert was so nice and it was especially nice to see Sean Hannity! Michael W. Smith was one of the performers. He was the best out of everyone and I'll never forget the beautiful songs. 

We stayed in such a nice hotel. Benjamin bid on Priceline for one of the nicest resorts in the area and we got a smoking deal! I have some fun pictures to post soon of our little getaway.

A very happy Monday to all!

Cousin Time

Today was a lot of bustling to get Marie and Zane ready for their departure. We did manage to have a cup of tea to help soothe Marie before her plane ride with her little teether. :)

We are missing them so much right now. Benjamin and I arrived home with the feeling that our balloon had popped. We have begun to plan out next get together lol! 

I am excited to start my routine. I am attempting to start a running schedule in the morning after Benjamin has left for work. Its really nice to have Winston as my companion while I'm running. He usually just stares at me until he falls asleep! :) 

We have found a really nice church here. We missed our Easter Sunday service due to our frustrating sickness. It sure feels good to feel good again LOL! :) And I am excited to go this Sunday!

 Now laundry, organizing paper work and many other projects, here I come! Luckily the weekend is almost here again and I will have my Benjamin! 

God's greatness and goodness is so abundant and I can't help express my love for Him! 

Much love to all of you, my sisters in Christ!

¹ Keep me safe, O God, 

for in you I take refuge.

 ² I said to the LORD, "You are my Lord; 

       apart from you I have no good thing."

 ³ As for the saints who are in the land, 

       they are the glorious ones in whom is all my delight. 

 ⁴ The sorrows of those will increase 

       who run after other gods. 

       I will not pour out their libations of blood 

       or take up their names on my lips.

 ⁵ LORD, you have assigned me my portion and my cup; 

       you have made my lot secure.

 ⁶ The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; 

       surely I have a delightful inheritance.

 ⁷ I will praise the LORD, who counsels me; 

       even at night my heart instructs me.

 ⁸ I have set the LORD always before me. 

       Because he is at my right hand, 

       I will not be shaken.

 ⁹ Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; 

       my body also will rest secure,

 ¹⁰ because you will not abandon me to the grave, 

       nor will you let your Holy One see decay.
             ¹¹ You have made known to me the path of life; 

       you will fill me with joy in your presence, 

       with eternal pleasures at your right hand.

Psalm 16:1-11

Mornings in the Sun

               ~Breakfast with the sunrise 

I had a lovely couple O mornings this week. I have been getting up before the sun comes out and after making Benjamin's lunch and breakfast for the day and sending him on his way, I make myself a little breakfast and grab my books, blanket and head outside to our little patio. The first of the sun feels so good on my face while I am getting into God's word. It is one of the happiest parts of my day I think! 

I have been reading about our covenant with God, Jesus and marriage. It has been so interesting and has grabbed my attention in so many areas, my relationship with the Lord and with Benjamin. I am getting addicted to this little routine! 

(I noticed my cheeks were pretty red yesterday:) 

I don't want any Ol farmer tan, I better be careful!
