January so far...

This month has been busy. Getting back into a more normal routine after the

holidays and other little things!

One little project I have donethis year is I made strap covers for Clayton's car seat.

I think they are so cute! Now that I made the diaper bag I keep looking for

other things to make out of the scrap material.

We (Clayton and I) went to a different botanical gardens with some friends. It was a very pretty place! This is the pond with fish and ducks in it!

Here is the famous tree there. Lots of tourists come just to take pictures of this tree!

It is very pretty!

Last weekend we went for a drive and drove around part of the island and stopped at this beach. It was nice but a little chilly for swimming. One nice thing about living here, you can go to the beach in January!

We finished off our weekend with a trip downtown to the cheesecake factory. This the tiramisu cheesecake, it was very good! We were so full after eating that we only ordered on piece to share but next time I think we should just go for dessert!

We have been savoring the time together and God has been so good to us!

Clayton has started rolling over and does it a lot! He doesn't like to do it in front of the video camera though. He is growing fast! He will be 4 months this coming Wednesday!

I am thanking the Lord for his blessings!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone! I hope you all had a blessed Christmas :) We did! We went home to Michigan for Christmas. We had the best time visiting family and friends! Here is my family's Christmas tree!

Here is the snow we did see though I have to admit to being a little disappointed about there not being enough to play in. I hadn't seen any for a year give me a break. Here the seasons don't change so you miss it.

Here is an ordament from our tree here. We got a fake tree since we weren't going to be here for Christmas. I bought a few ordaments and we enjoyed it's beauty! Really didn't do much for New Years Eve, Clinton had duty the next day and I was pretty tired so we watched a movie and hit the sack a little early. I thank the Lord for blessing us this holiday season and I hope he blessed yours!
