I've been into a baking kick lately! Few weekends back I made homemade cinnamon rolls (Shane's favorite Saturday morning breakfast) and tonight I was feeling like baking again, so chocolate chip cookies it was! Yummy!
For the past two years Shane and I have helped lead an outreach project for Love Cedar Valley. I say both Shane and I, but I must admit, Shane definitely takes on the lion's share of the work! We help at the Waterloo Boy's and Girl's Club and this year we took down some playground equipment, painted a cafeteria and put up some benches and counter tops.
I've been doing a little more sewing! I made these new curtains for our living room! The fabric was really, really affordable so the finished product was WAY cheap! Yea! Also in this picture is the new crown molding that Shane put up!! I've been wanting to put it up since I painted last year and we finally got around to it!
And the most exciting news of all....we're having a baby!!! We found out a few weeks ago and I haven't got around to posting it on here, but most people already know! We are so excited! We definitely have and are learning a lot about God's will and God's timing through this pregnancy. This definitely wasn't something that happened right away for us, but we are enjoying it all the more because we've had to wait. And now that it has happened I'm learning a lot about patience getting through the first trimester. The past few weeks have been a struggle with the flu, morning sickness, and exhaustion...but it's alright, because it supposedly means the pregnancy is going well! We will just continue to look forward to the second trimester! :) Thanks to soooo many of our friends and family who have kept us in their prayers! We are so blessed and grateful.
