2019. YEAR OF CHANGE.



Image result for clip art for change

In another post I mentioned there being a lot of change coming up this year. 
 I'm not ready for sharing everything at this point, but even just over a month into this new year we have experienced a lot of changes. 
 My childhood home was sold and my parents are planning on moving out of state when the time is right.  The holiday season was very different as our usual locale for getting together is no longer an option.  In the grand scheme of things, this is not really an obstacle..just .. different.
  Mike finished up his third year as a deacon in the church we had attended for the past eight years and we made a commitment to begin attending a church plant/outreach.  The services are expected to start up around Easter of this year, but a weekly Bible Study begins this week!!  We chose to do this for various reasons, I'm not sure I want to get into that now.  The past couple of Sundays we have been traveling down to the church I grew up in, and it has been nice to be there for this time of transition.
Two of my relatives have been diagnosed with alzheimers.  It is hard to see. With age come a host of issues, we are all aware of that, this disease seems particularly cruel.  
Our co-op director and founder is leaving at the end of the school year.  This is huge!  Something that came out of the blue, but was of course directed by the Lord and it is what is best for their family.  They will be sorely missed though.
Lord willing, there will be a teenager in the house in a few scant months!  MJ is already bigger than I am and fast catching up to his father!
This is a short list...there is so much more..Big stuff.
All is good time.

We're praying for wisdom and direction.
Would you join me?

FOOOOOOOOD

This guy has been getting pretty excited at mealtimes--
watching the fork go to someone else's mouth rather than his.
At five months, I was in no hurry to start "real" food, but we were at lunch the other week and there happened to be slices of avocado (which is what I had planned to start with when the time came)...so we mashed it up pretty good and Mister got his first taste off of Daddy's plate.


He looks pretty pleased with himself, doesn't he?



He literally gobbled it right down.
I ended up picking some up at the next grocery run, for now we're taking it slow though.
