Was that even the weekend? *phew*

Oh my goodness...the weekends always seem to go by quickly, especially when you work full-time away from home. This weekend was no exception...but it seemed to be pretty chaotic {mind you...this is the last weekend before we depart for Chicago/Milwaukee}. You think I could get prepared for that? Looks like I will be spending the next few days taking care of business. Here are a few tidbits from the weekend:

  • Luckily I got off early on Friday {after a staff meeting and busy clinic} to tend to the girls so daddy could rest. He came down with an awful sore throat and sickness on Thursday night and ended up spending the rest of the weekend {and today} in bed. With a trip to Urgent Care, the ER, and the ENT....I think he may be on his way to recovering. All 3 of us girls are praying! Health is important when traveling.

  • My oldest got a certificate to eat at a local Mexican restaurant from her Kindergarten teacher, so me, the girls, and my mom enjoyed some yummy food and much needed relaxation {if you can call dining out with a 2 year old relaxing, then that's GREAT news}!! We came home, enjoyed ice cream AND the beautiful thunderstorms {I big puffy heart thunder, lighting, the calmness, the clouds....God's majesty}!

  • On Saturday, I was one of the 300,000 women to attend the "So long insecurity" Beth Moore simulcast! That was amazing and I felt so renewed and 'normal'!! It was great just spending the day with my mom! You can never take that for granted.

  • The weekend was followed by rest {we always try to keep the Sabbath day holy}! I baked, trying new recipes, which is always interesting and fun. The girls love taste testing and my oldest is never too shy to tell me if something is "yuck"! The 2 year old soon follows at whatever 'sissy' says! In the evening, I attended my last Financial Peace University class. That was very inspiring and we can't wait to be debt free and give our money away. After all, isn't everything God's? I'm trying to get away from the 'stuff' mentality. I believe in our culture, as Christians, we need to NOT be the norm. Society tells us we NEED to keep up with the Jones'....but I want my girls to know that Jesus is enough.

Praying for a blessed week.

In Christ,

Carrie

Easter Fun

We enjoyed the sunshine on Easter. It was wonderful...and I had a great time taking pictures.





The girl will blow bubbles ALL day if you let her.


Her facial expressions crack me up!

I heart babies!



I'm VERY new at photography, but was super excited when a cousin of mine let me practice on her newborn. Here are a few shots I captured. Isn't she beautiful?

Sweet Sophie!


This is our chocolate cocker spaniel who we almost lost {misdiagnosed heart problem}, almost gave away {took 10 months to potty train}, but now, we are completely in love with her...as she is with us! We couldn't imagine having a better fit for a family pet. She completes us!
