Shhh....

Ryan has been getting more independent in what he prays for lately. He has been thanking God for every individual item on our plates at dinner "thank you for my bread, thank you for my pot pie, thank you for mommy's bread, etc." He has also started this when we pray before bed. Tonight, he thanked God for his closet, mommy's closet, daddy's arms, daddy's jammies and just kept going on. He kind of got lost and Jamie tried to prompt him. Ryan said, "Quiet, I'm praying!" We just about died laughing while Ryan continued to pray!
We have had to talk about how it is polite to be quiet when Mommy and Daddy are praying and apparently he got it--even if he is a little sassy!

Married

Ryan has been very interested in my wedding ring lately, and I told him that Daddy gave it to me when we got married. He was asking about it today and then said that he wanted a ring when he got married. I asked him who he was going to marry. He told me that he wanted to marry Mommy. I had to explain to him that I was already married to daddy, but it was so sweet!

Behind...

I know that I am very behind on blogging--but life, school and traveling almost every weekend for the last month has caught up with me! I will try to get caught up this week and give you all a look at what we've been up to!

Knocking...

I'm in a frustrating place. Without going into specifics, I am wanting to make some changes, and doors keep getting closed. I know that God will work and put me where he wants me, but I have no idea where that is. I do not want to continue on the same track, but have not yet been given an open door to try something else.
I guess I keep on knocking on different doors and trust that God will open one in His time? I just wish I had a clue!

Fun at the Beach

We joined my mom and sister's family at the beach last week and had a blast! Ryan loved the sand and splashing in the pools caused by low tide. We went on a train ride along the coast and had a great time! While we were there, Jamie and I also got out of the house and celebrated our 7th anniversary! (Thanks for babysitting Mom!!!) It was a great time and we wished we could have stayed longer. (Especially since it was 107 degrees when we came home!)
