"God uses problems to draw you closer to himself. The Bible says, 'The LORD is close to the brokenhearted; he rescues those who are crushed in spirit' (Psalm 34:18 NLT). Your most profound and intimate experiences of worship will likely be in your darkest days, when your heart is broken and you turn to God alone. It is during suffering that we learn to pray our most authentic, heartfelt, honest-to-God prayers."
Gosh, is this ever true! Can you think of times when you grew closer to God by going thru problems in your life? I know I can!!

Rolling Over
Happy to annouce that Faith is rolling over! She's done this about 3 times already! She'll go from her tummy to her back. It's the cutest thing. She puts her cute little diaper buns in the air, and swings her hips over and then she just kinda pushes and over she goes! Have I mentioned that it's the cutest thing??? Well, it is!! LOL

Church Team A vs Church Team B
So tonight our 2 church softball teams are playing against each other. They do this every year after the season. Hopefully James' team will win. They had a better season then what the other team did. But in all honesty, it doesn't matter who wins. It's all fun and games! Then we go to a team mates house and grill burgers and what not. Sure is a fun time! We plan on bringing Faith to the game but then my parents will be watching her afterwards.
My parents went to my grandpa's house last night to get some of their things and my dad wanted to see Faith as he was having withdraws, so they stopped by for a minute. Then this morning he came over to pack up what was in our garage and the first thing he asked me was "Where's Faith?" She was still sleeping in her crib so he went in and saw her. He is just so in love with her. I never thought my dad would be so infatuated (i think i spelled that correctly...) with her. It's soooooooooooooooo adorable! He's excited to see her tonight too. As is my mom. She is just as obsessed as he is. I don't think my parents have really gone more than a day without seeing her. At least my mom hasn't. Which James and I appreciate. We want them involved in as much of her life as possible. We know that my parents will lead a Christian life and show her how to live one and show her what being a true Christian is all about. Since we are so close to my parents we know that their faith is true and pure and that is what we want her to witness. And it helps that we all go to the same church and have the same beliefs.
We got word that James is for sure going to Wisconsin. He leaves Monday, will be home during the weekend and then back working there again the next week. Hopefully they will get the job done in 2 weeks so he won't have to go back for a 3rd week. Faith and I will spend our time at my parents house. Have to figure something out for my cats. Might have my dad feed them in the morning and I'll come over in the evening and feed them. Plus then I can get the mail and do a few things at home and pick up more things if need be for Faith and/or I. I have thought about taking a road trip to visit some friends but not sure I want to do that alone with Faith. That would be a long trip in the car with her. We'll see though.
Well, Faith is starting to fuss so I gotta go!

Our Weekend
So our weeked was pretty good. James and I were out of town for a wedding. It was at Double JJ Resort in Rothbury. It was a good time. My parents watched Faith for us while we were gone. Faith had a good time! My parents are so in love with her it's adorable! They just loved having her at their house with them. My brother and his wife stopped over on Saturday and I guess my brother tried to steal her out of the house!! I think we're gonna have to put a tracking device on Faith when we're gone! LOL James and I are so glad that we have my parents around to watch Faith whenever we need them too. My mom has watched her a few times already and she just can't get enough! She's always up to babysit which we are so thankful for. Can't trust just anyone to watch your children but we can trust them! Faith gets so spoiled by them. And it's just beginning! My mom and I were talking about everything that she should have at her house (now that they live in their new one!!) and it's quite a list! Eventually we'll get what she needs. James and I really want them to get a car seat base so that way my parents can take her places. For now we just switch cars, which I guess is good too. We'll see what happens.
Anyone know how to post videos on here? Or even know if you can? I have a funny video of James and my dad trying to kill flys yesterday. I guess not only did my parents move into their house this weekend, some flys did too! My mom and I were laughing quite hard at those two. They are quite the pair when they're together.
