It's been a household of sickos this last week =( Noah and I started with cold symptoms last Monday and it hit Shane super hard on Saturday. My boys had fevers and they have not been feeling well at all =( Prayers for complete healing appreciated =)
During the same week, there were a whole bunch of celebrations between my sister's birthday and Valentine's Day. I love birthdays and quality time with the ones I love! My birthday plans for Steph were effected by the cooler weather on Saturday and my little man at home who wasn't feeling well and really wanting his mommy =( We didn't get to enjoy the zoo as much as I had hoped but there will be more opportunities! We found a precious tea room and LOVED our lunch together there!
Shane and I got to go out for supper on Valentine's Day and it was lovely =) So grateful for a wonderful baby-sitter! Then on Sunday, Shane planned a Valentine's Day brunch and home spa for Steph, her roommate and I =) I have such a sweet husband!
Now we've been enjoying the visits of a bunch of Canadians! It's been a fun week despite sickness!

The Latest...
Some random thoughts to catch up on the latest:
- Our visit with the in-laws was AWESOME!!!! I could do a whole blog post on my happy feelings about my in-laws. They are so sweet, supportive, loving and generous. I sooooooooo enjoyed our time with them!
- Noah got his first hair cut today! He doesn't have a whole lot of hair on top/front but the back was getting long and he definitely had a baby mullet. I really liked the curls he would get =) But, it was time to trim it up! He looks cute =) And our hairdresser said he was the most well-behaved baby she has ever given a hair cut to! I'm a proud mama!
- We got a zoo pass and I'm sooo pumped! We first went to check out the Kansas City Zoo with my mother-in-law during their visit. I loved it! So, passes are a great deal here and I got my own now! I plan to use it a ton!
- February is full of fun things! Tomorrow is my sister and mom's birthdays! We are going to do a bunch of celebrating this week! Then comes Valentine's Day and Shane and I are going out on a date! Yippee! I'm going to a musical this week and a bunch of Winnipeg friends are coming down for the weekend! Between birthday parties, play dates, coffees and moms gatherings, it's a full and fun month!
- Shane is busy, busy, busy but it's good and we are here for a purpose! God has opened doors and given him places to be effective and influential in his roles. He's doing a bunch of work preparing for the next Call2All Congress in Thailand in May.
- I am heading to Colorado in 3 weeks with a bunch of ladies to attend a Captivating Retreat (for women)! The Lord is drawing me away with Him for 4 days into the mountains. He provided supernaturally for this when I would have just thought it wouldn't have worked. I'm a little nervous about leaving Noah but the Lord has spoken clearly that He wants to draw me away and I know that He will be all comfort to my Noah while I'm away. Shane is going to do awesome and it will be some good boy bonding time =)
Prayer requests:
- Healing for our bodies (Noah and I are fighting off the beginnings of colds, Shane is still dealing with insomnia issues)
- Our visa applications (No word yet...still in initial review stage.)
- The preparation up to and during my weekend away (peace/comfort for our hearts while Noah and I are apart, grace for Shane, that Noah would adapt well to 4 days of cows milk from the sippy cup)
- Provision/monthly support base

Let's Take a Poll!!!
I want your vote!
I'm frustrated with blogger because I can't post any more pictures! And we all know that pictures make blogs WAY more fun to read! When I figure out a solution, I have some pictures to post! I haven't forgotten that I was going to post Noah's 1st birthday party back in December =)
So, we are looking into other options that may require a name change. That's where I'd like your help! Can you make some suggestions of names for my blog? I'd love to hear your suggestions!
