So, it was pointed out to me that I haven't updated my blog in over a year. I have good intentions but never seem to get it done... so I am going to do some catch up over our big events.
We had a wonderful summer after we returned from Disney. In the fall Mayci started 3rd grade and LOVED her class and teachers. We are so blessed that she loves school. The child does math problems for fun and gets super pumped when she does division with remainders... crazy girl! =D Hayden spend another year at 1st kids. He has a wonderful teacher and a lot of little buddies.
I had been working on my Master's Degree for a couple of years and I graduated in December!!!! It was such a big accomplishment for me being a mom and working full time. I was excited to have my babies see me graduate.
Ryan was able to travel to Brasil with a group from our church in December. He spent 10 days building housing and loving on young girls who have been abandoned or trafficked. His experience was incredible. It really proved that the love of Christ is everywhere and even without speaking the same language Christ can shine through us.
Mayci & I were able to go on a mission trip to Houston, Tx in May. We were able to share Jesus in several different situations. We got to minister to the homeless and drag queens... yes drag queens. We walked the streets of Houston and visited the bars where the drag queens frequented and were able to pray with them and for them. We also were able to have Church under a bridge, in a park, and in a parking lot. It was amazing how many homeless came to hear the Word. They were an inspiration to me. They knew that they may be homeless now but we have a home together with our Lord. My daughter was also amazing. I have never seen an 8 year old child be so brave and open. She was fearless in praying with and for these people whose lives were completely different than her own.
Mayci is on swim team for the second year. She is a fast little fish!! She will start 4th grade in the fall and is super excited to be in my building this year. My little guy will be going off to preschool! I can't believe how fast time has flown.
I am really going to try to keep this up to date... at least more than once a year ;-D. I have lots of Hayden and Mayci stories!
