It's been a long time...

Well it has been forever since I have written. It isn't because I don't want to; I sit down at least once a week and think about it but I just can't seem to get started. I think it is partly due to the season of life that we are in right now. Mike is in the midst of mid-terms at school and we are also in the middle of house hunting or roommate hunting. When we moved here almost a year ago our housing situation was a gift from God. We found a place on the last day we were in town looking and then God provided two roommates to live with us and help with the bills. Sadly enough we are losing a roommate and now need to either find another or find a new house that we can afford alone. It has honestly been a way for me to see how little I trust the Lord. I saw his goodness and provision a year ago and yet I fight daily to trust that He will provide again. My God is good and yet I doubt His goodness daily.

One place where I am sure of his goodness daily is in the eyes of my two beautiful children.

Avery turns 4 in May. Where has time gone. In the blink of an eye she has become a little girl. Just last night I was laying in bed with her while she said her prayers. With hands lifted high in the air she shouts out praises to Jesus so uninhibited, so trusting. She is the life of the Boland house. I can't even begin to share how passionate she is about life. She keeps us on our toes.

Keller will be 1 in July. He started crawling last week and pulling up. Today I went in to get him and he was standing up in his crib looking at me. He always has a grin on his face and his two sweet dimples will melt your heart. He is one chill little man : ) He brings a sense of calm and peace to our little world.

Well at least that was a start! Here a few pictures just to enjoy.
