As more time goes on and our "Little Monkey" learns to do more things I have noticed that my husband and I get excited about the smallest and most insignificant things. The things that only another parent would understand and appreciate!
Today that thing was our Little Monkey laying on the changing table as I got him ready for bed and discovering his private area. Now this is not something that is new. He had discovered it once before and I was glad that he forgot about it...or at least I thought! As I took his dirty diaper off he reached down and grabbed it!!! Apparently he thought that was funny, because he kept doing it and laughing. Of course, it didn't help that I kept laughing and asking him if he found his "pee-pee"!!! Five minutes later I FINALLY got a new diaper on him. As I went to get his pjs out he attempted to take his diaper off by himself, almost in an attempt to continue the "game" he was just playing with mommy! As much as I pray that we don't experience this again, I sure do love times like these. The little moments that melt my heart when my baby boy laughs like that...no matter what he laughs about.

It's A God Thing
Last night we had the opportunity to hear the hearts of the amazing team our church sent to Vietnam. WOW!!! What amazing stories and things God showed them and had them share with us. I couldn't help but cry at some of the things (much like I am doing now as I think about them again). As we were listening to all of the God Things that happened I looked over to see my husband wiping tears from his eyes, which made me melt more.
I started to think about my husband and how he is going to Haiti in July. It has been somewhat of a struggle to trust that God will provide the financial side of this trip. Just when I was thinking that, Sam started to tell us of how God provided for her. She saw all of the God Things that only God would have done! She saw her mom stop smoking and put $5 a day aside for her. She saw God provide above and beyond for her trip. At that point I had to pray and trust that God would provide and do His Thing if that was His will for B to go to Haiti.
The thing I have learned is that we MUST trust that It's A God Thing for B to go to Haiti. That the money will come along with the prayers. Worrying causes worry.

Trust is Only a Challenge IF YOU Let It Be...
Trust has always been something that has been a challenge for me. Mostly due to situations in my life that cause me to want to push people away. However, lately God has been trying to show me what it really means to truly trust that no matter what he will provide.
When I started staying home to take care of our son the "Little Monkey" we knew that we would have to trust God in providing and allowing us to have all that we needed. Now as we are preparing our hearts, lives, and finances for B's trip to Haiti we are realizing that we are going to have to trust God even more. We recently had our student auction at church, which allows students to auction themselves off or work the event in order to raise money for camp or mission trips. Every year it is pretty successful, but this year the auction brought in over $9,000!!!! Talking about Trust!!! All involved had to TRUST that God would bring the people with a right heart and that God would provide the money. Each kid who worked is getting roughly $100 not counting the money that they were auctioned off for.
Now there is some faith and trust in God that he will do what he needs to do when he needs to do it!
Now B and I must trust that no matter what happens it is God's will. We also must trust that no matter what everything will work out, maybe not the way we want it to or thought it would but God's plan is ALWAYS much better!
Off to trust that God will get not put on us more than we can handle!!!

My Life Has Really Changed!!!
WOW!!! These past few months have gone by SO fast!!! I have been realizing that "Little Monkey" was getting bigger, but today it really hit home.
I miss those days when he would just cuddle with me for hours. Now he can't even sit still long enough to drink his bottle. He is constantly moving!!! He is for sure 100% boy!!! He is curious about everything, wants to eat anything you put infront of him, climbs on or up the craziest things, and is more interested in a plastic cup than the toys family spent so much money on!
It feels like just yesterday my hubby and I got married, then shortly after discovered we were expecting. In July Monkey will be 1 year old!! In October we will be celebrating our 2nd Wedding Anniversary! So much has changed since getting married and having a baby. I realized what a true friend was, and those who claimed to be a friend really were not. I've discovered that trusting God NO matter what happens in life is better than trying on your own.
I have been SO blessed to have an amazing man of God for a husband. To have such an adorable son, who I love more than I ever thought I could, and our family...without our families we would not be where we are today! You never realize how much they are a part of your life and help until you grow up and have a family of your own!
