Over 60 degrees Fahrenheit - woohoo!!

What a gorgeous day God gave us western Michiganders today! The sun shone brightly, continued to melt the snow and brought warmth as well. I couldn't resist a walk outside, so I placed Joy in the Hotsling, Micah and I got our sneakers on, and then we headed outdoors.

Incredible. Warm. Slightly breezy. Beautiful!

We all thoroughly enjoyed our time outside. Joy fell asleep during the walk, so she continued to snooze when we got home, but Micah got to ride his bike after months of being in the garage for winter. He also got to play with one of his cool remote control trucks he got for Christmas from Papa and Mama Ruth.

What a wonderful day! Thank you, Lord, for Your creativity in making the seasons!

Recharged batteries

Micah has a recent fascination with batteries. Well, I should say the power that batteries provide, such as for his remote control cars and various other toys and things. Tonight while Scotty was praying he asked God to "recharge our batteries" tonight for the next day tomorrow. Micah interjected with a question, but Scotty told him to wait until he had finished praying. Shortly after the "Amen" Micah just had to get is question answered. The poor kid was confused and declared, "Why do we need recharged batteries?! We don't need to be charged!!"

Bottle Time

Joy's not picky...she'll drink a bottle from anyone, anywhere, anytime. :-)

Pictures from this week

Okay, so the title of this post is lame-o, but this week has been anything but boring! We have all just loved having my mom in town!! Quality time, delicious meals, dishes that seem to wash themselves and good conversations have been just a few things that have taken place this week. We also had a quick visit from Scott's best friend ("Uncle Luke") which was welcomed and fun. Here are some pics that document these special times. God is so good, and so very kind to surround us with loving friends and family.

Joy is getting more alert everyday!

Joy loves grandma Sovilla!

First time "Uncle" Luke and Joy met!

Scotty got me flowers when he went grocery shopping...what a sweetheart

Diaper Cake

I am blessed to spend time with some of the sweetest girls and work alongside some of the kindest ladies at our church's GEMS Girls' Club. Last night they presented me with a Diaper Cake and other various gifts for Joy. What a thoughtful group of gals (and cute, aren't they)?

Super Joy!

By day, an average citizen...

By night, Super Baby!
