I'm still here... PART 1

The transition to mommy of two has been wonderful and exhausting and hasn't left me much time to be on the computer.  But my goal is to start posting at least once a week!


6 months ago today, Autrey Joseph entered the world.  I can't believe how quickly the time has gone by.


  (I'll post some 6 month photos soon)

I recently went back to work 20-30 hrs a week.  This has left me with basically NO time to myself.  I don't know how mom's do 40+ hours a week outside the home!  The only way this is possible is because we have been blessed with an incredible babysitter.  When my old boss approached me about coming back to work, I didn't know how I would work out childcare.  Daycare is not an option we were interested in.  We knew the only way it would work is if we were able to find someone willing to come to the house.  Jackson started Preschool 2 days a week last August and we were able to enroll him for 4 days a week.  So that left who would care for my sweet baby Autrey.  God brought Ann's name to mind so I sent her a quick email just to see if by some strange chance she would be interested.  She is Jackson's Sunday School teacher at church and last year retired as the Director of the Preschool he attends.  Well it turns out she had been praying about a part-time job!  She only lives a few minutes from our house so it works out great!  She watches Autrey everyday for a few hours and then has both boys for a couple hours after Preschool.  I know I don't have to worry at all when she is with the boys.  They are safe and loved!  

How awesome, that God cares about even the smaller details in our lives:) 
What was I worried about:)?




"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes?
Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?
Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life 
"And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin.
Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.
If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
Matthew 6:25-30
