Trying Out New Things

I've thought about blogging ever since I started reading blogs about 2 years ago. I just didn't think I had anything interesting to blog about and I thought "How in the world will I have time to do that?" After Ethan was born, I tossed around the idea a little more so that I could get my creative juices flowing (sometimes you need a little more that daily "conversation" with a baby to keep your mind challenged :-). But I never had time then to explore how to create a blog. Now it seems more time is at my disposal since I don't have to cook meals or clean up much while we are traveling. So...now the question of subject matter... I love reading blogs about saving money, child rearing, cooking and biblical womanhood, but I don't feel I am qualified to write about those things. I have been encouraged by various friends & family members to keep a record of how the Lord provides for us as we walk by faith as well as the fun and exciting events of our little toddler. I want to be able to look back and remember the goodness of God to our family. I want my children to know what God did for them even before they could understand that there is a God who is a faithful provider.

So here we are... hopefully, I'll be faithful to writing!

Here are a few recent pictures...
