So I have been dragging my feet. We are in the process of planning Morgans third birthday. I can not believe the little cookie monster, thumb sucking, rascal is going to be three years already!! Of course it will be all about trains on his birthday. I found some dollar store train party decorations, got some balloons, and plan to make a train birthday cake for him, a engine and three cars. There are alot of cute ideas out there. We are just going to celebrate with family this year. I think they were spoiled enough at Christmas we are going to keep it small this year.
Last night was the second weekend in a row that Joel went to church with me. We are attending a non-denominational church that really focuses on the teachings of the Bible. My mom would be impressed I am finally back in church as well. Although it is not a Catholic church like I was raised I still feel comfortable at home is re-discovering myself as a Christian with my husband and children at my side. Its almost like a welcoming feeling of harmony that is being established. We (I) feel it is very important learn the teachings of the Bible as well.
Joel was not raised going to church on a regular basis and last night he admitted to me that is where most of his resistance stems from. The lack of routine and comfort in attending on a regular basis is new to him and will take time for him to come to understanding the true benefit of finding his method of cultivating from the Holy Spirit. (John 15)
Okay so now I have two more weeks until school starts. I have been off for about two months now (thank goodness for semesters!). I am really contemplating in taking three classes this semester but we shall see. I have another week or so to decide. I just want to finish school by the Spring of 2010. That means I have to get to work fast! I can already sense these next few months are going to take the greatest balancing act in my time management and organizational skills. So we will see how it goes. I hope I land on my feet!
I hope you all have a wonderful New Year. I havent said mucha bout my New Years resolution becuase it usually evaporates from my thoughts but I think getting the whole family to attend church on a regular basis is at the top of my list.
One last picture to show. This was our big present to the boys and what I think is every little boys dream, Joel built a train to go around their bedroom. It is very cool!

That is just AWESOME!!! That train around the top of the room is the best ever!! Wow what memories your kids will have!!! Way to go!!!!
Joel did a great job with it. He still wants to add real lights to it, etc. But I told him he should probably just leave it as is. I think he secretly wanted to do it for himself. But everyone enjoys it!
