I follow several blogs atleast daily (more like several times a day) and I am so inspired. I think WOW they are such good bloggers and they have so much more interesting lives to share. I guess that is why I don't blog more often, I don't feel like I have anything exciting or earth shattering to share. No words of wisdom or great inspirational examples of this Christian woman I call myself. But I figured since it has been almost a month I should share something.
Halloween brought fun for my kids .... Madison was Madeline because her costume that she wanted never came (thanks to the Freiberg's letting us borrow the costume), Tanner was a part of the SWAT team and Jayden was Squirt (turtle) from Finding Nemo. I will try and post some pictures. On Halloween, we (with my Mom) traveled to my sisters house. She lives near DC. We got to Trick-or-Treat with my two favorite nieces. I love them and wish I could see more of them. On Saturday, we went to DC and did lots of walking. Madison really loved seeing all the "sites." She was very excited and came home and made a scrapbook. She is such a good writer and artist. She amazes me. Those are not talents she got from me!
So, now the month of November is on us and I am spending time thinking of all the things I am thankful for. Without a doubt I am thankful Jesus died on a cross for me! Although, I struggle daily to walk in His ways I am proud to call myself His follower. My prayer is that when others see me they get a glimpse of Him. So this month, I will focus on my example. At church, we have been doing a study on sharing the gospel. This is hard for me but I know it is what I am called to. Secondly, I am thankful for a husband and three children who forgive me for ALL my shortcomings (and they are many). I love them with all my heart and can't imagine life without them. Okay, so enough of that. Let me see if I can post some pics of the kids!

Heather,
Its so easy to get caught up in what we write and write things for other people. I am very guilty of trying to please my readers (all 3 of them), but I have to remember that I don't blog for them, I do it for me. I enjoy reading you blog and am glad you updated. I'll keep reading updates about your family!
i live in Raleigh and would love for yall to come visit! and as far as the blog goes...i just do it as a scrapbook b/c i enjoy it more than cutting out pictures and taping them on paper with pretty stickers:) this way i catch every moment and don't forget them...just do your own thing:)!!
Heather,
Thanks for catching up! I will be reading through your blog to see how things are going for you. Thanks for your comment and know that you are so NOT alone in this! It seems like everywhere I turn, there is yet another sister who struggles with contentment in their skin. Blessings!
Hi Heather,
Thanks for all the blog visits you've made lately. It's good to hear about your fam and your trip! I understand about not having much to blog about- the baby has been our exciting news lately; otherwise we'd have nothing to blog about except the house repairs!
