we got to spend a weekend in OBX with nanny and pawpaw for mother's day! it was wonderful to just be away... feel the breeze, take walks, sit on the beach, eat yummy food, and watch my little guy get loved on by his nanny and pawpaw... it makes me heart full... i love family time!

barrett LOVES his pawpaw!

i treasure the moments he still falls asleep on me

cards

barrett plays with pawpaw's cane for hours!!

so, my raybo started a new job on monday... i cannot even begin to express how God has met us in this decision. it has been a long time coming... i am in faith for this decision as i see confirmation of the Lord's leading! it has been so wonderful having my man home every evening at dinner time... no more waiting until 8 or 9 at night!! after 2 years of spending MANY nights alone, i feel like we are a real family now... we even get to eat dinner together!! :) my heart is encouraged... thank you Lord for always providing for your children!

chicken tortilla soup... yum!
