Welcome Baby Violet--God is so good!

Our good friends had their baby this morning, God is so wonderful. The baby came on her own, no inducing needed. While I was thinking about the past few years and my pregnancy with Zachary, I realized that God has truly been with us. Every time we have needed something, it has been there. When we needed someone to take care of Zachary when he was a baby, Julie stepped in as an answer to prayer. When she could no longer take care of him after Jared was born, Beth was right there--another prayer answered. I am truly grateful. We have always had family here to support us and take care of Zach when we wanted or needed a little time. When I get discouraged and wonder what it is that God has planned for me, I need to remember the times when he so smoothly and quickly answered prayer at just the right time.

Fall decorating

Those of you who truly know me know that I rarely decorate except for Christmas. This year, I decided to decorate for fall (with the intention of changing the decorations for each season...). Basically, I had to justify my recent Southern Living at Home purchases. The album I just posted has pictures of my endeavors.
