Hello 2010!

Wow! A lot of time has passed since I last updated. Its hard to keep on top of things. The holiday season is over now and its a new year. Its hard to believe its 2010. Sophie has been growing and acting older and older. She seems much more like a kid and much less like a baby nowadays. In fact, in a little more than 4 months, she will be 2 years old! That's a crazy thought. I guess not a lot has changed in the past few months...just busy with the same old stuff. We still don't know where our life is headed. Ernie is still laid off and court issues still haven't been resolved with Gavin. The bright side with all of that though, is that the kids have bene getting to spend a ton of time with their daddy! We wish he was getting to work, but man, it sure has been nice to get to spend whole days watching Sophie and Ernie play together. Also with the uncertainty regarding our time with Gavin, it has been nice to get to use the time we have with him now to its fullest. We have been doing a lot of family activities. Last night, we had Ernie's parents over and had a movie night with the kids, watching Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. Its easy to see how much older Sophie is now when even she can enjoy a whole movie with us. Before, she really couldn't care less and would just go about her business. Now she will pay attention and interact with everyone. That is a fun thing to watch for sure. Her new favorite word is "awesome" and that is a good way to describe her! So I guess not much of an update for 2010 so far. We are just trying to rely on God and trust that His plan for our lives is something wonderful...even though we can't see it at the moment. As long as we keep trusting Him and being faithful to Him, we will be okay. No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love Him. ~ 1 Corinthians 2:9
