more snow pics!

For some reason blogger was acting funny when I went to go load pics on my post... here are more from our snow day!

SNOW DAY

Yesterday we actually got snow in Wilmington. Our house got about 3 inches! So we decided to take Josiah out in the snow for his first snow day! We made snow cream and gave him a little taste... of course he loved it and kept licking his lips :) I decided to take his Bumbo chair out in the snow and see what he would do... he ended up digging his hand in the snow and kept trying to eat it. It was too funny! Josh also tried to show him how to build a snow man but of course Josiah was too into eating the snow to be into anything else. We had a good day!

Josiah also turned 4 months old today. I know I say this every month, but it is seriously amazing to me how fast time flies. Every day is always something new. His new things right now are grabbing at things, playing in his new exersaucer and the boy is still amazed by the t.v. He gets to watch his Baby Einstein and Sesame Street when I am doing laundry or other house hold chores. Josiah has been doing great on his schedule and I am going to start introducing him foods after his 4 month well check on Monday. I can't wait to find out how much more he has grown! The downer of course is getting his shots :(

I am super excited about 2011, there are going to hopefully be some good changes occuring in our life this year and of course we are so excited to see Josiah change and grow as well. Every day I am so thankful for the ability and opportunity to be able to stay home with Josiah. Josiah laughed for the first time 2 weeks ago and I almost missed it! I went grocery shopping and Josh was taking care of him. Thankfully, I made it and got to see and hear that glorious sound, but I began thinking about how I never want to miss a moment like that. I am so thankful that the Lord has blessed Josh with a stable job. Even if he has a long commute, there are so many families where both mom and dad have to work. I am truly blessed to be able to spend my days taking care of Josiah. A lot of people ask me if I miss working in a salon. Honestly, I do some times, because I do love making people beautiful, but NOTHING could compare to the satisfaction and fulfillment I get from being Josiah's mom. It constantly makes me think how much the Lord must care for us.

There are a few things that if you read this, would you please pray with us for? One thing is that we would really like Josh to be able to get a transfer back to Wilmington! Also, he is supposed to be getting a pretty significant raise in June, so if we could also pray that he gets that as well, it will really help out a lot! Also, I have the opportunity to nanny full time, in my home. We are working out a fee, but pray that we both can come to a reasonable compromise on both parts. It's great, because Paige is easy to take care of and both her and Josiah get a kick out of each other. May you have a blessed new year!
