Here it is...another evening at home with my family! Craig has been home the last few days so it has been nice to share the load! I have been really thinking about life lately and how much I have to be thankful for...it's overwhelming! God is so good!

The kids and I had a great trip to Florida and Georgia in February...a few weeks ago I celebrated my 34th birthday! On Thursday, Craig took Levi and I out to lunch at the California Pizza Kitchen and I picked out a cupcake dessert at Just Baked!!! Yummy! On Friday morning (my actual bday) I went out to breakfast with my friend Lisa, her mom and another friend Hope, we went to the mall to shop a little (had some money from my in-laws to spend) and then our small group met at my sisters house that night and we had yummy dessert and celebrated again! On Saturday, I went to a movie and out to dinner for a Girls Night Out...it was so much fun! A fun filled birthday week!!! I am blessed!

I have been going to a Moms Bible Study at Brightmoor church in Novi on Tuesday mornings...LOVING it! The study itself is great and the fellowship with the ladies is just what I need! The past few months we have been trying out a few churches in the area to see where our family fits and where God wants us right now. Oak Pointe in Novi is where we have landed. The kids love their classes and are excited about what they are learning. I am really excited about what the church as a whole is doing! The EACH (Everybody A Chance to Hear) outreach is a great way to reach out to friends, family and neighbors...there are over 400 other churches all working together to make sure the people of Metro Detroit know that God loves them and wants to be a part of their lives!!! Our small group has been meeting every Friday and that has been a blessing too!

Things have been busy around here as usual. The boys are done with winter sports so we have a few weeks off from running to Flag Football and Soccer...but mid April is coming fast and then we'll be back to it! Autumn and I just had a Mom/Daughter Tea with her Daisy Troop and that was a fun day out to get a little dressed up and have special time just the two of us! We are excited once again to be packing up and heading south for a week or so for Spring Break! The weather in Michigan right now is not spring enough for me!!! I am so thankful Craig has some time off and we can get away as a family and visit lots of family while we're gone. We will be in GA a few days to see RYAN and Craig's parents and extended family, then down to FL to see my parents, my aunt & uncle, the kids get to see their Grandma...family everywhere!!!
