Cheers to a new year! 2015!

Well…It appears I have not blogged since right before my 2nd child…Everett..was born. Wowww long time!

So a re-cap of life:
June 11,2013 Everett Luke Wynn was born! Yay! We got a boy!
He is very fun loving, rambunctious, lover of food, sweet baby loving child:) He is currently 19 months old and not pulling up to stand, standing alone, or DUH…walking. Therefore, he gets physical therapy twice a week (thankfully the PT comes out to our house…PTL!). I do believe the therapy is slowly helping him…his legs are getting a little stronger. Yesterday (Thursday) when the PT had him standing up on the couch..he didn't even cry! Huge for him b/c he usually cries when he has to stand. So..in a nutshell we are busy trying to get Everett to walk this year.

October 16,2013: Annie Ruth turned 2 years old! We celebrated with just the four of us here at home:)

2014 was a fun year:) We mainly started figuring out how to live as a family of four and I, being a stay at home mom, went through a little depression trying to figure out how to do so. Sad but true. Anyway…currently to date, Im doing lots better:)

June 2014: I went on a trip to Orlando, Fl with my mom and sister to The Gospel Coalition Women's Conference. I had a great time and the Lord really fed my soul so I could come back better prepared as a wife and mama:)

August 2014: went on a vacation to Maryland to see our friends, the Manley's. We really enjoyed it and I personally enjoyed seeing my good friend, Jacki:) We laughed and cooked and shopped. It was soooo fun being together:)

October 2014: I took a trip to Louisville, KY with my neighbors. They were going to be passing through Louisville on their way to Wheaton, IL and asked if me the kids would like to tag along:) So of course I said YES!! My best friend, Sarah Williams and her hubby Clay, live in Louisville. I got to hang out with them and ended up having a great trip visiting old friends that I had gotten close to while living in Louisville:)

November and December 2014: we went to see family for both holidays in GA. Fun times!

------January 2015 UPDATE-------

*The Lord has been gracious to me and my family. He started helping me wake up at 5:30 am everyday in order to spend time with Him and rest in His Word. I have enjoyed my early morning quiet time. Waking up early not only helps with spending time with the Lord, but also b/c I honestly find it hard to wake up at the SAME TIME as both kiddos. Its like the day gets off to a crazy start if I don't sip my coffee in peace at 5:30….b/c waiting til the kids get up I typically have to feed them first and then by the time the coffee is ready…they apparently need something else! Ahhh! So, Im finding that 5:30 is the best time to start my day:)

*January is always sort of a refreshing month since its the new year and all…but seriously…I get bored in January with all the freezing cold temps and especially since the kids and I have to stay holed up inside the house. I am trying my best to do a little "light" homeschooling with Annie Ruth to keep us occupied. So far she has done well. At times she gets frustrated with things…like the other day when she could not figure out how to use a pair of toddler scissors…she did NOT want my help at all. So both she and I got frustrated and gave up and will get back to working with scissors another day:) Currently Annie Ruth knows: colors, shapes, the alphabet, letter recognition, numbers 1-20. And just recently she has started playing with Everett very well and has such an imagination:)

*Soooooo on Tuesday, January 13th….we found out…we are PREGNANT! Here comes baby Wynn #3! Due September 14th! Honestly I was a little shocked b/c that 'ol natural family planning was what I was supposed to be sticking with….but I miscalculated when I was ovulating I guess. Oh well. We see babies as a blessing:) People try all the time to get pregnant and cannot so getting pregnant on the first try without really "trying" is such a blessing from God. All glory belongs to Him!
So..Im guessing the morning sickness will be upon me very soon, however…ya never know! Maybe this time will be different! Maybe no nausea?!! We shall see!

Gotta go…thanks for reading!
