9 monhts and counting

My baby girl turned 9 months last week. Of course we had to make our trip to the Dr. for shots ( i hate that part). Maci did ok, cried... but Daddy came to her rescue!
As of now she's into EVERYTHING!!! She crawls 90-to-nothing and pulls up on just about everything she can get her hands on. Her front two top teeth are now in, and it looks like she's getting some more! She's such a sweet baby, but KNOWS what she wants, and doesn't have a problem letting you know it! I think I have a priss pot on my hands! She has a permanent mo-hawk, and it's so cute. A waiter at the restaurant I was at the other night asked me if I had cut her hair that way...I thought that was very funny ;)
Thank the Lord that she's still sleeping all night, that is a true blessing! I just can't believe that in three ( let's hope they go by slow) months my princess will be 1. I am sure by that time she will be walking and I will be overerly, super busy! I have already picked out her party stuff, I guess that's the only exciting part at this point. She will always be my baby!

2010

As the new year has approached me- I have some goals set for myself.
1. Find a church that meets our needs as a family
2. Loose 30lbs and keep it off!
3. Become organized
4. Manage my time better
5. be sweeter and more patient with people I interact with- weather it be my husband or a stranger at the grocery store
6. get out of debt
7. Take lots of pictures & actually get them developed!
8. become intimate with God in a new way



This is my prayer for 2010:
Lord, help me to be an imitator of you, whether it be at work, home, or public. Help me to walk by your side daily, and give you praise thru the good and bad. Without you I am noting, I need you in my life daily. I know by me serving you, I can accomplish my hearts desires which will lead to happiness, a better marriage, trust, and dedication thru all of my actions. Lord, I know with you all things are possible, I am trusting in you and giving you my whole heart in 2010!




Blessed are those who trust in the Lord. They are like trees planted along a riverbank, with roots that reach deep into the water. Such trees are not bothered by the heat or worried by long months of drought. Their leaves stay green, and they go right on producing delicious fruit. Jeremiah 17:7-8 (NLT)
