Not the best blogger

So, I'm not so great at blogging, and I think I want try to work at that. We'll see how it goes. So much has taken place in the past few months! I guess I'll just give an update!

About Sophie:
Well, she's grown 5 inches since she was born. Our tall little sweetie is now 26 inches long, and she is only 3 months old. She's a lot of fun, and she's definitely got some personality! A bit of drama queen, and a whole bunch of sweetie-pie! She's just awesome! I miss her every minute I'm not with her! Now that I'm back to work (full-time), it's been a little hard on me emotionally, but I'm working through it. You'd think it would make sense to go to work because I'd be providing extra income, but when you have to pay a baby-sitter, 5 days a week, things get REALLY tight. Money is spent before it even gets in the bank. We haven't been steady financially since Sophie has been born, and it's tough trying to get back on track. Will we ever? I pray we do! God knows what we need. And even though we never have money in our checking account long enough to even see it, we know that God is providing all of our needs when we need them met. Thank You God! Here are some pics of Sophie:

The Youth Group:
Since Paul and I have taken over, we have had some challenges. We recently lost our only youth helpers and our worship leader - Micah and his fiance Sam. We love them dearly, and are still great friends and understand their need to move on. However, God again, as proven Himself faithful this need as well. The very week after they said their "good-byes," our Sunday morning worship leaders started doing worship for the youth group, and also stay in with us for some extra leadership. We've also gained another youth helper, and he's AWESOME and perfect for the job.

Paul and I don't have much as far as instrumental abilities. I can sing, and that's all, and Paul doesn't play an instrument or sing. So, we had no way to help our youth develop in this area. But since our worship leaders started helping us, we've had about 5 kids say they'd be interested in either learning bass, drums and guitar. Some have had a little bit of experience already, which is aweome. The cool thing is, Denny (worship leader) knows how to play all of these instruments, and has a heart to teach these youth and help them develop these talents. So, before we know it, it looks like we're going to have our very own youth band! God's so great!

So, I guess that's what has been happening on this end. I'm going to try to blog more often. Until then, may God's blessings pour into your life like the falls pour into the Niagra River. :)
