Confused...

I was just looking through my posts from today and saw the times it says I posted are *way* off! Like 3 hours behind off. Thoughts anyone?

Recovery Day

Mondays are always recovery days. Sundays usually have a wackier schedule/routine than the other days of the week. This weekend, however, was a LOT crazier than most. Thursday was Daddy's birthday. Friday was Christmas Eve and we went to the Christmas Eve service at church. Saturday was Christmas :) and we were at three different houses and a wedding rehearsal. Sunday was wedding day! (Sunday was probably the most normal of all day because Ti went and hung with my mom all day.)

Recovery days usually look a bit like this...

Blocks

I was so excited to buy Titus blocks for Christmas. Good blocks too. Ya know, the wooden ones that we had as kids. That was number one on my list for Titus' Christmas presents.

Here's how the blocks are doing...

The blocks are currently new things to chew on. I look forward to the day when I can build a tower and Ti will get a kick out of knocking it down! :o)

Wedding time!

The day after Christmas is the *perfect* day for a wedding right? Usually I would say, "Heck no!" however, this wedding was gorgeous and I love the people that got married so to me the day was perfect!

Titus' First Christmas

"Morning Mommy, why did you wake me up?"

Stocking fun

Lots of goodies.

I love how he used his feet to help him open his presents.

Titus thought this toy was the coolest thing ever :)

"Um, I'm getting tired of this."

So tired...

"Nap time- either put me in my bed or I will sleep here on the floor!"

A Reminder

God reminded me of His awesome loving grace and mercy this morning. I have been forgetting how desperately I need those two things in my life on a daily basis. I even was forgetting how much my Heavenly Father has forgiven me and then held back forgiveness from someone else! I'm so thankful that God does not follow my sinful emotions or thoughts. I'm so grateful that I have Gods unending forgiveness for all my sin. I'm grateful He made a Way for me to hve fellowship with Him and that He withheld the punishment I deserved from me but poured it out on His Son.

These are awesome things to be reminded of...every. single. day.

Cuddles

Cuddles are one of my favorite things!
 Titus loves that he can move around now so true cuddle time is left to nursing.
However on a day like today I have gotten plenty of cuddles and it's only 10 am!!!

I love being a mommy!!

Man how they fly!!!

The Joys of Winter

Oh the joys of winter!

It's absolutely freezing outside and everything is covered in snow.

There are a ton of special weather statements going on and on about the snow we are *supposed* to get. However, very rarely are these statements/warnings right. We live near Lake Ontario so we hear lots of warnings about "lake effect snow." Usually those snow bands miss us...usually...but not today.

 I'm not complaining...I'm really not! I'm snug at home on the couch all nice and warm. My husband, though, is at work and won't be leaving said place until midnight or a little after. I'm usually in bed at this time, but because the hubs is going to be driving in this delightful snowy mess late at night, with freezing temperatures I am staying up until I see his wonderful face. I can't wait for him to get home! I know God is in control and can bring Bryan home safely. I know this and I believe it. I'm struggling with my need for control...and in this situation my need for control of the car. (Because for some reason in my brain me driving in horrible conditions is the *only* way Bryan will get home safe.) How arrogant am I?? I'm so thankful that I am forgiven and covered by God's grace!

Isaiah 1:18
“Come now, let us settle the matter,” says the LORD. “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool.

Tooth!!!

Titus has a tooth! I can't believe we are to *that* point already! Part of me feels like Ti has been around forever and therefore teeth make sense, but then I look at the calendar and remember that it really hasn't been that long. He's growing and changing so fast! I'm very thankful that this whole tooth-thing hasn't caused too many problems. He was really fussy (by fussy I mean wanting to nurse every 2 hours and super cuddly) this past Friday. Now I know why! I'm not exactly sure when that tooth popped through, but it was between Friday and Sunday night (when I discovered it with my poor, innocent finger). Ti seems to be rather proud of his lonely little tooth! Anytime we talk about it he gets all smiley as if to show it off! :o)

I wish I could get a picture of the tooth, however I'm not that talented and I'm positive Titus would not sit still long enough. So here's a different picture...

This face kills me! I love it!!!
