Pictures from August to December

I have tried to catch you up on what has been happening since our trip home in July. The end of July, beginning of August school started for me. I am teaching a 5th/6th gifted combination class and greatly enjoying my students. Bryan's golf season started to pick up the end of October and is now in full swing! We stayed here for Thanksgiving and joined our pastor's family for a day of touch football and turkey. This Christmas we stayed here again. Our hearts longed to go home but Bryan was needed here at PCC. We were once again blessed by all our family and the members of the PCC this year! Merry Christmas to all and a very Happy New Year!





































































Toys

This was Bolen's first Christmas and boy did it make it more exciting for Bryan and I! Bolen loved to play with the presents the days leading up to Christmas but Christmas day was different. The wrapping paper scared him, the boxes he loved, and he was back asleep by seven. Bryan and I enjoyed the morning by putting together Bo's gifts and playing with his toys- more than he did I think!

Praying while waiting. . .

Today Bryan and I took a walk with Bo and Buzz. It is a cooler Arizona day and made me miss home. We talked about how the weather reminded me of the weather during high school track. I told him about a friend I use to throw with that drew ink tattoos on us while we waited for our turn. We talked mostly about what we felt like the Lord was leading us to do in this new year. Should we put our house on the market, apply for different jobs, wait, pray. . . I walked away from the conversation feeling lonely and unsure about this new year. Our hearts want to move home but not if that's not the abundant life the Lord has planned for us. We know that wherever the Lord wants us is the best place but I wanted to know that yesterday. I want to know do I apply for a teaching job in another state, district, do we put our house on the market knowing it's going to take a God sized job to move us home without debt! Lord what do we do? I know we trust in You-completely but what do we do while we wait?

Welcome Home




Greetings all! Bolen and I arrived on Saturday morning and after a day of shopping in Billings we headed to Worland to meet the rest of our family! Here are a couple pictures from our adventures so far. Grandma and grandpa Bradshaw were so excited to see Bolen and have had their hands on him every minute we've been here! Great grandma Bradshaw was also proud to show him off at a church BBQ on Sunday. We'll continue to keep you posted with pictures from our trip.

Mother's Day Brunch

On Saturaday Bolen and I attended a Mother's Day Brunch at the First Baptist Church of Avondale. My friend Dana Johnson invited us to join her and others. We had an amazing time and Bolen even slept through the whole thing! What a angel!

Last week home

Well this is my last week home with my two month old son. I have to return to work for nineteen days before summer break. My heart is heavy and I know it will be hard not being able to look into his glowing face whenever I want. So for those of you out there that are following our blog please lift me up in your prayers! Bryan too since he'll be watching him all day on Mondays!

Bolen received his 2nd month shots yesterday!




Yesterday Bryan and I took Bolen to the doctor to get his second month shots. He was fussy and very sleepy yesterday as you can see in the picture of him and daddy sleeping!


However today he's all smiles! Must be feeling much better!
