Life at Home



Eli is becoming his own little person. We are trying to enjoy every moment! We went to the ped on Saturday and he is weighing 15 lb. 1 oz. He has been sick for almost a week with a cold. I am sick too...which really complicates things. I am really learning self sacrafice. Especially in the middle of the night when Eli needs love and I need sleep!

The house is coming together finally. I am trying to focus on finishing the painting and trim by the end of the month. I really don't have too much left. I just need to trim out the front room and paint the hall and kitchen.

Contentment has been an issue. It is funny that this comes after this long awaited time in life. My hormones have been a bit wacky and I'm having to get some help with that. Being a mommy is a lot of work!! On top of it all I'm having this hormone issue (which I'm sure most moms have after such a hormonal time). But I'm making it with prayer and lots of friend talk time!

Phil 4:11-13 I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do everything through him who gives me strength.

I Tim 6:6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.
