Don't sweat the small stuff

Over the past month, I have been reminded that I have so much to be thankful for. Why did it take something so huge to be reminded of that?!? Now...I'm learning to not sweat the small things in life. Do they really matter? So, Emerson decides to pull all of her craft stuff out of the box so she can play or Hadden decides he is finished eating and throws the remaining food on the floor..Does it really matter???...No! 

These people are way more important than the small stuff.

This question: 'Will this matter a year from now?'

Sometimes you got to count 10 and let it go. Not worth it, don't sweat the small stuff.

At the end of the day we all have so much to be thankful for. Things can be so much worse.

Don't sweat the small stuff, life is hard enough

God knows, God sees and He hears! Don't sweat the small stuff.

Don't sweat the small stuff. You just make it bigger by doing so.

When Life Gets Too Hard to Stand...Kneel

Holding these two just a little closer today.

Isaiah 41:10

So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, 

for I am your God. 

I will strengthen you and help you; 

I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. (NIV)

 “What it's like to be a parent: It's one of the hardest things

 you'll ever do but in exchange

 it teaches you the meaning of unconditional love.” 

Emerson is 3!

Miss Emerson's 3rd "Rapunzel" Birthday Party

Almost 3

 We almost have a 3 year old at our house.  It feels like just yesterday we were bringing her home from the hospital and now she is turning 3. Emerson is looking forward to her "Tangled" birthday party (as am I).

 She is such a joy!

Lately

 Hadden enjoyed exploring at the Discovery Center. 

Lately: He loves banging toys and making VERY loud noises, 

crawling while pushing a toy, 

climbing, rolling balls or cars along the kitchen floor.

Soooo different than Emerson was at this age.

 It's fun to see the different personalities.

 Emmi at the Discovery Center. Pretending she works at a Vet.

 Lucas, are you ok? 

She has informed us that when she

 grows up she wants to be a doctor of people or animals.

Even though Hadden has popped through two teeth since 

Thanksgiving and has two currently making their appearance,

 he is still a happy little boy.

 This little girl has a sweet tooth. Not sure where she gets that from? :) 

Hold on Hadden, Big Sis is driving!!
