Catching Up

Happy Cyber Monday!  I got online around midnight and booked a birthday Vegas trip for Tiffany and I February 8-11!!  #getexcited #vegasbaby #maga (Mon Ami Gabi again!) ;-)

This = my fav Thanksgiving Bitmoji. lol

Something I want to improve on - well, this and healthy boundaries. lol

One of my favorite verses because God knows our understanding is faulty and will fail us sometimes, and He wants more heart-level trust and less attempting to figure out His whole plan - His ways are higher, and He is worthy of our trust even when it hurts. ❤❤

Presh penguin!  I love them!!

Babah and Grandad came over for a bit on Saturday.  Babah asked J to get his favorite book and read to her.  He protested that he didn't know where any books were... all the ones I've gotten them are at their house - not sure he'd know where they were there either, but I certainly hope so.  It made me happy seeing them looking through books together.  Most kids these days need more of this (face to face connection, reading, real stories) and less of phones and tablets (disconnected, youtube videos, snapchat, online games). I'm very thankful those were not an option while I was growing up... and thankful that social media and blogging were not around when I was in high school. lol

Jace and Grandad drinking their Icees and talking about what's new. =)

J&K decided they wanted to take the training wheels off their bikes this weekend - they practiced with Rach, Josh, and Dad helping them a bit, then tried it on the grass by themselves a few times, and by the end of the night, they were both doing surprisingly well riding by themselves.  I'm 100% certain that was a longer process for me, likely due to irrational fears getting in my way.  They're both willing to jump in and try new activities, and I think all their time on hoverboards and scooters has taught them really good balancing skills, because they picked up the biking with only one or two very minor falls.

The Mini Miss K with her "chugging glass" and Sprite - they love to do Sprite or Coke shots so they can feel like P.T. Barnum! lolol

My first note from Kyndal Faith - she's got her letters down now!  She grabbed this index card and told Mom, "I'm gonna write a note to Lindsey!"  (She told me not to peek or I'd have a pic of her writing it. lol)  She came around and handed it to me and hugged me, and it's now my most cherished index card ever! lol ❤❤

This = a slideshow of all the recent pics and events!  ...Things seem to speed up and get so busy and chaotic around the holidays.  My ultra-introvert heart sometimes gets overwhelmed and overstimulated, but taking some deliberate downtime to relax and make these slideshows helps me to slow down and appreciate the special moments and memories! =)
