Being content...

So I am all wrapped up in Philippians right now. Especially chapter 4. I am waiting on Miss Chloe, not working and trying to make some sense of it. Ironic I should never really try and make sense of a situation like this. So I have been reading and dwelling on Phil 4. Being content whatever the circumstances, aligning and asking God to make my contentment his contentment. I have found myself realizing that I long for other things way too much. What if I just stayed at home? Got an easier job? What if? Would it be easier? So many different little questions going through my hormonal brain. But the truth of the matter is I have a hard time longing for the life that God has placed me in, the life that he has ordained for me. That is a lot to swallow. So my prayer today and my prayer for my sweet friends is that we may be content whatever the circumstances are that we see ourselves placed in. That God may align our hearts up with His to see and receive His satisfaction. So for right now...I dwell on that truth.

Waiting....

So I am done with teaching until Miss Chloe decides to come into this world, or when Gagnon decides to take her. Yesterday I went to the doc and I was 2 cm and 60 % effaced...more than expected. I am so thankful for having these days or day off...but as I stay at home, play with Brock and love on my small family...I kept help but feel a little anxious and excited to meet my new sweet one. # 1 thing on my list...meeting with Jesus for longer than 15 minutes...it has been a couple of crazy days.

Brock singing

When Brock was about 8 months old he got a toy that sings the abc's. We just recently found it and started playing with it. Now he wants to sing to it constantly and he is pretty funny doing it.

Brock's Art

Brock is into painting...while we were in Texarkana this summer he painted for the first time with an isel and his own paints. Dustin's mom is an artist and so she has helped guide us as to how we are to help him continue his excitement. This is the first video of him painting. He does it every other week or so...I think he is pretty good.

Brock's imagination

This weekend Mimi came into visit and they decided to go fishing in the backyard. The back story is that Brock's imagination is in full swing, everything is a fishing pole that he is trying to catch Shark fish. Enjoy!!!

Brock's first book from school

I love it when I continually get confirmation that Brock is at the right place for childcare. Jesus took care of him last year with Kari and Piper, he learned so much with them, that I was anxious to see how Twin Oaks worked out. He loves it...we are definitely having to work on the "public school" moments, like when he has just started to say "stop it", he didn't hear that from us so I am pretty sure he heard it at school, so we have had many talks about how we talk kindly to others. But we can never avoid any of that. Any some footage of his first book he made at school, it definitely made me smile and even get teary eyed which I do most often.
