Day of rest

It was 7 degrees when we got up this morning, so Jeremy decreed it was too cold to take the baby outside. So we did church at home, which is pretty nice actually. Sometimes I call it "pajama church". Anyway, we go to www.chestnutridgechurch.com and listen to one of the sermons that we may have missed. Last Sunday, while in Indiana, the sermon was about moving forward and reaching for the new in life rather than being stuck in the old. It was REALLY good and very relevant for the start of a new year. Here's a pic of my favorite coffee mug in front of the webpage. If you are stuck at home on a Sunday, or don't particularly enjoy crowds I highly recommend it!

Ok, so I've managed to kick off the year with my first online scrapbook. Yes, I used a pre-made "fill in the blank" style. I like it though and for now it works for me. I may check out some other sites when I have some time and try their books. It's loads of fun!

Happy New Year

First day of the new year was rather unproductive. Jeremy and I were both so tired from the late night at Nemacolin. The band sounded great though and I think a good time was had by all. Joe Hardy even made an appearance!

Here's a toast to the new decade....

Here it is, the last day of the year. What are we doing today? We are scrambling around trying to get things done so we can rest before Jeremy's gig tonight. Dear Paxton has just fallen asleep (oh to be a baby again) and will be at the Fike's this evening. I'm looking forward to an evening of fun and music, but I will miss my little knuffle. Life has changed so much this year! I could go on and on about how different everything is once you have a baby, but really words simply don't do it justice. Suffice it to say, you must experience it to truly understand. And of course, I wouldn't change a thing!
I'm not much of a resolution maker. However, Jan. 1 is often a good "jumping off" point to either get back on track with something or start anew. The craziness of the holiday is over, and there is nothing but cold winter to worry about for awhile. Perfect time to focus inward and do a few "me" things. That's essentially my resolution....do a few things for me this year. Nothing major, just some little things to keep the sanity in check. Plus, the healthier and happier I am, the better mother and wife I can be.
Speaking of healthy, today is the last day to register early for the Pittsburgh Race for the Cure and save $5.00. It's our yearly Mother's Day tradition and we will be keeping it again this year. If you don't have a Mother's Day tradition or just want to experience something new and awe inspiring, come check it out! Here is the link: www.pittsburghraceforthecure.org

Happy New Year!
