His mercies are NEW each morning...

January is always such a wonderful reminder to where our sights should be and I've been loving this verse.

The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. -Lamentations 3:22-23

In January, Griffin was recognized for the character trait of LOYALTY while Millicent led the school in prayer.  A reminder to how God is always working in us, through us and for us.  So proud of these kids who have a solid faith and continue to show me how to keep my focus on the Lord when I may be straying from the truth. I am so proud of these kids and will cheer them on.  Rich and I count our blessings that we are able to raise these kiddos...and also that His mercies are new each morning (because we need that grace)....and most nights I've run out of mercies by bedtime.

These girls had a special trip to the principal's office to pet Charlie and get a special award.

Date night...woot woot!  Never a dull moment with this guy!  We went to a gun safety class and then dined at one of our favs!

If there is a Pop-A-Shot...they will find it!

HCA Family Fun Night at Elevated Sportz was a blast! So fun to be part of building this community that has given us so much!

Date my Daughter night...Millie chose PIE!  We had an amazing treat and it was a treat to spend special time with her too!

No comment!

Clear skies means lots of walks, rides and time outside...and we are so very grateful for that!

A 24 hour trip to the lake to say goodbye to a dear friend.  Bill taught us that it is not the length of the friendship, but the depth of the friendship that matters.

I thought this would be the last time at the lake without the house...but we just left yesterday and it still looks the same.

Any chance I get...I will be on this beach with my favorite!

The kiddos kept busy at Grammy & Papa's and hung out with GG.  She is doing great and each day is such a blessing.

When you get to go do something really cool...and cheer on your friend who is the most HUMBLE big deal person around!  Thanks Leslie for sharing your special day with me and GO DAWGS!

Haircuts and doughnuts...all in a days work.

When your cute "Trust God and Chill" hats show up way after Christmas!

Sunshine and outside time....bring on the brighter days and sunshine (PLEASE)!

Gabriel & Meyer Family Fun Night....the Hot Tub may have needed to be drained after this night!

Date my Son Day....brought us Greek Food, Fruity Bubbles and a walk through Bothell.

Facetiming his friend from Texas...miss this sweet family.

And then it was time to clean under her bed.....

Success...and hopeful that it will never be that bad again.

Seahawks Friday - last one of the season!

Happy Birthday Grammy...we got to spoil Grammy with a fun breakfast out <3 and indulge in some sweet treats!

Date my Leighton - Gym and Chick-Fil-a!  I love getting the one on one time with these kids!  I cherish it and hope they want to do it for years and years and years to come.

Back at the Gym for Big Sis too...she's in a tumbling class to help with cheer and just get back into the gym (without a 5 day a week commitment).

Our new Post church brunch spot...YUMMY!

 

 

That's one way to take down a Christmas tree.

 

Special Date this turkey again time...she definitely gets the most undivided mommy time lately and I'm soaking that in.  Full time school is coming up too FAST!

Cowboy Dress up Day....we had a cowgirl and a bandit!

When you have the coolest babysitter and she takes you to a basketball game.

Pure love for his faithful journey...he questions what it means to be faithful and is growing each day is his relationship...and we are so proud that it is his journey, not mine, not Rich's.

Happy birthday Auntie Roxy!

Some day I will figure out why the pictures upload how they do...or do it more timely, but that's most likely not on the "high" priority list :) So...I'll be thankful for the scattered memories of January that showed up true faith, loyalty, believing in others, helping and living the life God has in His sights!!!
