"Katching" up with the Korbels!

We are teething (well not all of us, just Easton).  We were disappointed to hear the teething tablets we have trusted for a year now have been removed from the shelves to address an issue with manufacturing.  We were relived to know that after investigation by the FDA, it was found this company (with over 85 years of safe products) will be returning this product to the shelves soon.  You can read about this recall here: http://www.hylands.com/news/hylands-teething-recall.php

We welcomed sleep.  After teething for a week, fighting off strep throat and an ear infection this little boy was in NEED of rest.

 

We had a sleep over and danced the night away.  Easton has a way with the ladies I tell you.  Too bad all these beauties are his cousins.

Mommy created a few FREE books with her favorite photos.  This one was made using Shutterfly.

Mommy and cousin Greta worked on a new shirt for Owen

Crafting continued as we made some new wall art!

This horrible unorganized mess of toys and workout equipment

became....

 

Lastly, I purchased my footwear for the big race.

With 3 weeks of training behind me and 7 lbs of weight off my body I am looking forward to May 21st!

Bring on 13.1 miles of of open road!

What a great week we had!

Handing over the keys....

My employment decision was placed in my hands and I was given the keys.

I have decided to take back a seat for now. 

I am seatbelted in his love.  Protected by God. 

He is in control and only he knows my path.

Thank-you Shelly for your kind words of encouragment and faith.

I cannot wait to see where HE takes us!

Prayer Request

My employment.

I have a lot on my mind. 
I have a big decision to make.
I need your prayers.


I am in the drivers seat right now.  I am in control of it all.  The brakes.  The wheel.  The gas. 

Now here comes the hard part. I am at a T.  Which road do I take?

I believe God will give me the answer.  Please pray he holds my hand along the way.

What we have been doing............................

The boys made "BUBBLE BEARDS"!

 We snuggled on the couch when mommy and Easton were battling strep throat!  :(

We made and gave daddy his Valentine's gift.  I found this project on this awesome website: http://www.icanteachmychild.com/

We watched 8+ inches of snow fall on our DRY driveway and green trees!

We tasted some of our art projects (limited to Easton and no worries, it is non-toxic paint!)

It was a quiet, calm and much needed relaxing weekend.  We are on the mend now (thanks to some amoxycillin and chiropractic adjustments). 

Wish I could report we were leaving for somewhere warm this weekend........oh, well!

I just love them!

In less than 4 months my mom and I will don our walking shoes and complete our first 1/2 marathon.  I am excited to check this off on my "bucket list".  Training began a little late due to my low back issues last month, but one week in I am feeling confident I will be ready come race day.  I just wish I didn't have to workout on a treadmill in my basement.  Hoping this -14 degree weather improves and I can enjoy a stroll in the outdoors.



Remember when.....

 The sky was blue, the trees were green and we were comfortable in a t-shirt?

Seems like so long ago, since all I have been seeing lately is a lot of white and long johns!
