Peak Faith: Simplicity
http://peakfaith.blogspot.com/2008/12/simplicity.html
Wednesday, December 10, 2008. I love this time of year. Ava springking her cookie with goodies. It was relaxing watching her be so meticulous about her creation. She took such care in making her cookie! Ava was so proud after wards! That precious cookie was devoured in less than three minutes flat! I love the fact that you are teaching Ava at a young age about simplicity. Now if only the millions of others in this world can learn simplicity it would be a much better place.

Updated weekly so keep checking back to read what's going on with us. Saturday, January 17, 2009. I'm doing it, Mom! Gulp, gulp, cough, cough. She was so excited! Even if it lasted 2 seconds, it was amazing to watch! There was fear but also a lot of joy in her face and in her voice. It was cool to see all the different components of her lessons finally click. That afternoon she managed to tread up to 5 seconds. Today was an awesome day! She improved so much. She would swim about 6 feet to catch me, r...

Updated weekly so keep checking back to read what's going on with us. Friday, March 6, 2009. Things are slowly getting better. We've been in MI 5 days now. I'm feeling less stressed and have a little more energy each day. I'm also so excited that Patrick arrives in the morning. He's a maniac! Who drives 2400 miles in less than 2 days? He left around 11 am Thursday and is due here 5 am Saturday. Crazy huh? This week we met Ryan and Aliza's pediatrician. Did I already mention that on the previous blog?

Peak Faith: October 2008
http://peakfaith.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, October 9, 2008. What Are They Up To? I thinks it's an absolute blessing, that sometimes. I can't seem to find my husband and my daughter. Our house isn't THAT big, and it's not that I mean I don't LIKE that I can't find them,. But when they're gone, I know that wherever they are, they're having a great time together! And then there are times, when I just can't help myself. It's just too quiet. and I need to know what's going on! Because deep down, I know where ever they are. Oooh, Swees Me!

I wish I had pictures to show how excited Ryan was when we brought him to his room last night after setting up his own bedroom furniture. He was like a little kid at a candy store, or for him, as if he was watching his favorite scene in Shrek. The whole time they were unloading, Aliza wanted to play with everything. She would just yell from the driveway, "MY SLIDE, MY SLIDE! He stared at...

So much for checking back often to read the updated "news from Joy.". I will give a quick update on the events that have taken place in the last few months. In May, we celebrated both my parents' birthdays. As well as my nephew, Trent's 1st birthday. It's times like these that make living here so nice. We've mi...I was goi...

Monday, March 23, 2009. Just Like. Me. I had MOPS today where the theme for the meeting was: Spa Day! We had various stations throughout the room where we could go and pamper ourselves. I got to soak my feet and paint my nails. It was heavenly. For my nail color, I picked this obnoxious shade of pink. I LOVE IT. Heart melting. "Of course you can! We had the best time together. Ava's First Manicure! She was so giddy! Oh if only it could be that simple. So with her little soft hand laid on top of mine&...

Peak Faith: Stop, Drop, and Rrrr... PRAY?
http://peakfaith.blogspot.com/2009/04/stop-drop-and-rrrr-pray.html
Wednesday, April 1, 2009. Stop, Drop, and Rrrr. PRAY? So when the Lord saw that he had caught Moses' attention, God called to him from the [burning] bush, 'Moses! Moses replied. 'Do not come any closer,' God told him. 'Take off your sandles, for you are standing on holy ground.'" (Exodus 3:4-5). I have to stay put! Hmmm never thought of that before. So I'm going to try! I'm going to attempt to Stop, Drop, and Pray more in my life! I told her to "Stay put, so mommy can take a picture!

Peak Faith: September 2008
http://peakfaith.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 29, 2008. It showed me how life is so comical… even in the midst of these major decisions. This is what I heard:. Matt was stroking Ava’s hair as he began saying these tender words…. 8220;Ava, I just KNOW that you will be an amazing older sister. I know that you will be a big sister who shares. Someone who will watch out for your little sister and play so well together. You’re just ready to be a big sister and we want that for you.”. We both start laughing. Wednesday, September 17, 2008.
