Happy Sunday

Happy Sunday! Today was a very special day for our family.  Our baby boy, Zachary was baptized this morning.  I did remember to bring our camera, but a friend took photos for us and as soon as I get them, I'll be sure to share them here.  I did get some pictures of him in his baptismal outfit once we came home.  I'm trying my hand at photography. These photos are very amateur, but I'm going to enter one into a photo challenge at www.iheartfaces.com.  The theme is 'white'.  The main color should be white and include the face of a person.  Here's my entry:

Today was a wonderful reminder of how GOD has blessed our family.  I read this saying somewhere recently and with all our family has been going through, it's become a mantra for me, "We may not have what we want, but GOD gives what we need".  Hope your sunday was just as beautiful.  ~Serra

A lot can happen in a year

As you can see from the date of my last post,it's been almost a year since my last post. A lot has happened since then, a new baby, jobs changing, young daughters growing into tweens, a son becoming a 5 year old and a toddling daughter becoming a preschooler. Let's not forget all the fun of homeschooling, church, traveling, laundry, cooking, cleaning, paying bills, and the list goes on.
My plan with this blog is to share with you the joys of having a large family, including homeschooling, cooking and shopping on a budget, my loves of sewing and crafting,a revived love of photography and the craziness that is my life.
Times have been tough for us, but I have a feeling things will be getting much better. I just need to remind myself to have faith and GOD will take care of us.

Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” Hebrews 13:5

Love, Serra
