Thises and Thats

So it's been awhile since I've been on but life just keeps on moving! Samantha has finally started to get more teeth. The one on the top left front is poking through and the one next to it is close. Unfortunately she moves to much to get a photo! She is still learning and growing and she loves to push boundaries and learn what mom and dad will do. I don't know if it's the teething or what but she has been rather cranky for a bit her, I'm hoping it will pass soon! Some days it's great to be a mom and others you are wondering when you get a vacation but I think it's important to keep and eternal perspective.

Speaking of eternal perspectives I have been thinking a lot about that lately. I have a very good friend who lost some family and she kind of just turned her life upside down. To me it is sad to see all the opportunities that she is losing by the choices she is making. Life is hard sometimes and I'm not going to say it's not but why throw what is important away for a party or a drink... I just don't understand. I hope that I can find more charity within myself and learn to just love. No conditions. As I am so imperfect I still have a long way to go on that one!

Just being silly :)

  She learned how to put the oven mitt on... maybe we told her to many times she was going to burn her hands? Better safe than sorry, right?
