Scared

I am about to become transparent with this blog. I have been a little scared of God lately. Wondering what He is doing with our lives. We have been struggling financially for the last few years and while God has provided, it still is VERY scary. I have found this fear creeping into other parts of my life to where I am feeling very scared about all that God is doing. I KNOW that He is a good God, I KNOW He is a loving God, I KNOW He is God. I am just not feeling that way right now. I know, its not about my emotions, that's just how I am feeling. BUT, I just read this blog by Perry and it spoke to my heart in a way much has not lately. My kid looks at me like this and I have messed up with him, so why do I have a hard time looking at God like this? My kid runs to me and squeezes me when I pick him up from the babysitter, so why do I have a hard time running to God? Hopefully, I stop running scared and start running to HIM.

Morris family photo shoot

While we were in NJ for Christmas the Morris family went and got family pictures taken. They have had a lot of additions since the last family pictures, so they thought it was time for more pictures. Here they are. All pictures are from Sears Portait studio. (we have the copyright)

More Sledding and....

Sunday we went to our friends the Butler's house for a Super Bowl Party. Go Giants! That is probably the only time I will ever write that, but I really didn't want the Pats to have a perfect season (Sorry Tanya I know how you love your pats, please still be my friend and read my blog ;) What a great game, regardless of who you were cheering for. We went over a bit early because Wyatt loved sledding so much and they have a hill in their back yard. He laughed and laughed and laughed, kept say "gen" meaning again. Chris would truck him back up the hill and down he would go. He even went by himself, what a big boy!

Here are some cute pictures too.

Then there was tonight. Wyatt was playing in his room quietly so I left him in there, playing with his bins on his changing table. Before I left I neglected to check the bins for things I wouldn't want him to get into. After about 5 to 10 minutes I asked Chris to go back and check on him, laughter soon followed. He found Wyatt sitting in the chair in his room, rubbing vasoline ALL over himself! He loved the slippery feeling.....even after I got him out of the chair he wouldn't stop rubbing his hands all over his legs and body. Squishing his hands together. A quick bath and good as new! Well, he is 18mos now, guess its time to really start getting into trouble :)

Notice how shiney he is....and how proud of himself he is. (click the pictures to enlarge the mess)

Look at this kid go!

Today was a first in Wyatt's life! He went "sledding" for the first time! I say "sledding" because we don't have a sled, but we made do. Enjoy. If you listen carefully you can hear him lauhing his head off.




Here's a couple of pictures of him playing in the snow. He loved it! I found some snow pants and some boots at Goodwill today. It was 50% off today. I actually got 2 pair of snow pants because they were in such good condition. One for this winter and hopefully one for next year!

Congratulations Pop!

Yesterday was also another momentous occasion, but I didn't want to take from either by posting them in the same day.

Chris' dad retired from being a policeman in NJ yesterday. He touched many lives and I am sure that he will continue to touch even more on his new journey. Hopefully now this will give Nana and Pop more time to come out to Indiana to visit Wyatt! Wyatt loves all the fun he has with Pop, horsey rides, wrestling, rides in the wagon or in a box. We love you Pop! Congratuations!

The Morris family (l to r) Chris, Nana, Jen, Tim and Pop!
