Alyssa is almost 8 weeks old: the past 2 months have gone by fast, she's almost 12 pounds now, and I am going back to work on Sunday so I am trying to really enjoy this last week at home with Alyssa-which is hard because she just wants to sleep (SO much like her mom!)

Bobby and I started our new bible study on the 1st. It's going really good and I am really enjoying the discussion. We've been working on having better and positive attitudes. It's easy for us to get discouraged when looking at our situation with jobs and our living situation so we're working on staying positive and seeking hard after God. We're looking forward to what GOdhas planned for us for the future. We know this much: We're not going to be here next winter--after 58 inches of snow, we've come to the conclusion that we miss the beach :)
