Starting up again...

Now that my younger sister has a blog, I guess I need to get it together and update more often! haha. 

Alyenna is 7 months old. 8 months in only a few weeks. Time is flying by. I am loving this month especially. Every month has something new and different to love, but this month has been extra fun for me. She is babbling and cooing, going down to sleep with amazing ease, trying to stand next to everything she can hold, sitting and reaching, reaching for us when she wants up, saying "ma ma ma ma ma" when she wants something to happen...haha, and so much more. It is amazing to watch her grow and learn each day. 

Marcus got a job with Toyota, assembling cars in October. It has been incredible evidence of God's provision for us. After a year of searching and putting out applications and going to interviews, God provided the perfect job for him. He works the night shift, so it is a different lifestyle than most live, but we are enjoying the time during the day that we get with him! 

I have been busy with Alyenna and figuring out her schedule and feedings and all the things that come with children. I recently, well, December...I started sewing. My mom showed me a few things out in Colorado when I went to visit and I have been trying to practice from there. I have recently completed half of my first quilt...still need to put the backing on. I have also learned how to make a variety of baby shoes and bows and flowers. I hope to learn how to make some baby clothes next, especially some sweet little dresses!
I have also finally been able to get involved in our church. I go to a women's bible study on Friday mornings and I joined the choir. Choir has been especially fun, I got to sing my first solo two Sunday's ago. I was so nervous, but I hope that God was able to use me to reach the people of the congregation!


That's a quick update on life. I am going to strive to be better at this blog thing!

Hope you all are doing well!
