Been a while

Well, a lot has happened since I last blogged. A couple of years have passed and now we find ourselves already in 2012. The most exciting event, though, was the birth of our baby boy, Jeremiah Trapper. He is 9 1/2 months old and he took his first step today. Being parents has been such a ride...way more exhilirating than the coaster pictured on our last blog. The first 8 weeks of Jeremiah's life was up hill and I wondered if this ride had any downhills....well much to my surprise, the downhills haven't stopped:) We are having a blast! From him rolling over, to eating solid food, to sitting up, to laughing, to saying dada, the fun continues.

We had a wonderful Christmas! We spent 10 days in Florida; the first couple of days were spent at the annual Holcomb Christmas party. Karen and Dad, you were right...we had to make it this year to show off our new addition:) The rest of our time was spent in south Florida hanging out with my parents. What a blessing to have such a big family...we leave exhausted but filled up! It was so awesome to have everyone together. Jesus Christ is the Prince of Peace but I go through the Christmas season hurried and and stressful. This year was better than the past years but I want to grow each year. Praise the Lord for His faithfulness!

2012 is off to a great start. God continues to be our Jehovah Jireh (Provider) and we are so excited to see all that our Lord has in store for this new year. I ran a race on Jan. 1 called the "Resolution Run" and memorized a verse that God has already used to keep me on track....Hebrews 13:5 Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have. For God has said, "Never will I leave you, Never will I forsake you. I can't promise to blog every day but I will try a little more often than every two years:)
