A New Year

Well it's a new year and we are already halfway through the first month! It is so hard to believe that we have been here in Georgia for 3 weeks! How can time fly by so quickly?!

 We began the New Year by celebrating with good Cuban cooking, games, and fellowship with Mateo's family and my parents! We had a great time! Here are a few pictures of that evening!

(Maria being well.... Maria lol)

 (My husband being his usual goofy self!)

(Thinking deep thoughts about the game)

(My mom and Lidia the dish ladies!)

(Cleaning the kitchen after some great food!)

(Lucas, Kaycee and Mateo)

 

After all the partying was over we began the process of settling into a new routine of living life down here in Georgia.
 On January 2nd I made it halfway through my pregnancy!!! It is so nice to have made it through the first half and I am looking forward to the second half even more!!!
 We are so excited to meet our son!

Mateo started playing Frisbee again with our group down here in Georgia on Sundays. I enjoyed watching them play and being able to marvel at the beautiful sunset!

(I love getting to see the beauty of God's handiwork in the sky)

I have been looking for a baby album for my little man off and on for a little while now and one day at Hobby Lobby I ran across one that I fell in love with!!! I am so excited about it and can't wait to start filling it with pictures when he arrives!!!

My Mother-in-law had knee surgery on her right knee on the 8th and is now in the recovery stages. The surgery went well but prayers would be appreciated as they work through the long and hard process of recovery. 

Well that's pretty much all the updating I can do right now. 

I hope you are having a blessed beginning of 2015!

This year I have decided to go through the book of Ecclesiastes and since there are 12 chapters, every month I will focus on a new chapter. I am excited to be able to spend this year focusing on this incredible book of the Bible and what the Lord is going to teach me through it!
 Here is the first half of Chapter 1 in Ecclesiastes.

The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem. Vanity of vanities, says the Preacher, vanity of vanities! All is vanity. What does man gain by all the toil at which he toils under the sun? A generation goes, and a generation comes, but the earth remains forever. The sun rises, and the sun goes down, and hastens to the place where it rises. The wind blows to the south and goes around to the north; around and around goes the wind, and on its circuits the wind returns. All streams run to the sea, but the sea is not full; to the place where the streams flow, there they flow again. All things are full of weariness; a man cannot utter it; the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing. What has been is what will be, and what has been done is what will be done, and there is nothing new under the sun. Is there a thing of which it is said, “See, this is new”? It has been already in the ages before us. There is no remembrance of former things, nor will there be any remembrance of later things yet to be among those who come after. (Ecclesiastes 1:1-11 ESV)
