I had such a great day yesterday! I am so thankful for my family and how they made it a special day for me. It started off with sweet cuddles with Sadie on the couch and Clark made me breakfast. Then I got to talk to my family in the states. All the while enjoying my children, my house helper made is an amazing lunch! She made 4 dishes and we ate until we were far to full! So much that we couldn't even eat dinner!
That afternoon the kids went down perfectly and I headed out for an afternoon alone. It was so refreshing and so nice to just be able to do what I wanted to do and be lost in my thoughts as I traveled around town. I went to get my hair cut and was pleasantly surprised that it was cheaper than normal. They told me why, but I missed that translation, just knew it was better than before! I paid two dollars and seventy five cents instead of four dollars. Yes, I can get a really good hair cut that cheap! Only wish it was gonna be like that in the states! :) Then I went and had a manicure. I splurged and paid 5 dollars for that :) I then went shopping aimlessly and loved having mini conversations with different people that I knew but also just loved being in my own world for a while. I finished my day out with a large mango drink and mooncake. I headed home to my family. They were so excited see me. I had two little ones with their arms held high both vying for my attention, good thing I have a lap big enough for both of them! :) After dinner, we had fun taking some pictures and enjoying the laughs that they both bring to us!
Jack loves to eat peaches (or any fruit for that matter!) out of his little mesh feeder. It is a lifesaver when I am trying to cook dinner or I have finished feeding him and want to eat myself. I love this little thing!
Jack absolutely adores his big sister. He watches her all the time and she loves to help him in anyway she can. I just love his big smile here!
Here are me with my two little ones. I am so thankful for this precious gift of children. I am grateful that Father chose Clark and I to be their parents. It is such a huge responsibility that He has entrusted us with, but I am ever so thankful that He did!
I can not get enough of this sweet face and this sweet smile!
Sadie's favorite thing to do is dance. I will tell you she did not get her rhythm from me, I know many of you can attest to that! :) But I do enjoy dancing with her and letting her get that energy out. Jack is getting older now and wants to be in on the action!
Our sweet boy is on the move! He is all over this house and loves to be right near us. Here he is trying to crawl to his daddy when Clark said his name, he looked up at him. Precious I tell you!
Mid crawl
Isn't she a ham??
And then after we put these munchkins to bed, I broke out the last piece of peanut butter pie. I am horrible because I waited till they went down before I got it out. I didn't want to share, ha ha! We had no candles so we put a match in it and I blew it out! :) After that Clark and I settled down and watched a movie and ate popcorn. An absolute perfect day. I loved it.
And so, another year. It doesn't feel like I just celebrated my 32nd birthday. I look at myself and think am I really 32 years old? I feel like I am only 18 sometimes and yet at times I feel all of my 32 years. Father has allowed me to do so much in these years and I am so grateful for where He has brought me. I pray that this next year will be filled with many new experiences and along with those will be challenges I am sure. But most importantly I pray that our family will glorify Him as we seek to follow Him with all of our hearts.

That's funny. I just saw this post and realize that your picture of Jack with his mesh feeder (and even your calling it his "mesh feeder") is nearly the exact same as my photo of Mathieu! Granted your cmera takes much better pictures than my phone, but it's fun to know that another mommy is going through the same stages as we are, even all the way around the world.
