The Simple Life

We have decided that this year will be as simple as possible for us.  We will be intentional about putting our priorities in the right order: 1.God; 2.family; 3.work; 4.friends,life,experiences.  We are going to rejoice everyday about what we are so luck to have: 1.grace and love from God; 2.a wonderful marriage and so much love for each other; 3.two amazing and healthy little boys...the list goes on and on.  Focusing on all of that makes the rest of life seem pretty easy - pretty simple.  This week we've been enjoying the simple life...

Logan loves to play on the snow mountain in the back yards with the neighbors.  He also loves to shovel and help John with anything snow-related.  Bennett is not much of a fan of being bundled up outside yet.

Young Life takes a small hiatus in January which means no Monday night club.  With John home on Monday nights, he has declared "Movie Mondays".  The motivator: if the boys are good listeners and good sharers all day, they get to cozy up for a video with Daddy before bedtime.  I have to admit - I love it.  They are so cute and the boys really relish in the time when John is home ("Daddy, are you gonna be home all night long?!").

Life is not always simple, in fact, for us, its been quite complicated.  But, we are remembering to put ourselves in check, keep our priorities in line, and to put all our trust, worth, and faith in God.  It feels good.  We have a GRAND adventure coming up and we're so looking forward to a little rest and relaxation.
