Silas' 1st Time Painting




Silas' Aunt Kristy bought him paint for his birthday and we decided to play with them today.  Outside there is about a foot of snow and actually it's a little warmer today, at freezing or a little above:)  Silas liked playing in the paint, but I think he liked playing in the water better.  Thanks Kristy for the paint, I'm sure we will play with them more in the future.

"The Worst of Sinners"

I have been reading this book by Dave Harvey "When Sinners Say I Do" and have learned so much.  I recommend this book to all married couples.  I am reading now about understanding I am the worst of sinners.  Some other quotes from the book that I need to grow in are:  "When I find myself walking in the shoes of the worst of sinners, I will make every effort to grant my spouse the same lavish grace that God has granted me," and "understanding I have an ongoing need of a Savior."  You probably know we have been remodeling a house, and it seems like that is all I think about here lately rather than caring for my husband.  I am thankful for this book and will hopefully finish reading it.  I always start a book, get halfway through and start another one.

Silas' 1st Time Playing in the Snow









It is definitely winter time here in RI.  We took Silas out in the snow the other day and I don't know if he liked it, hated it, or just wasn't sure about it.  We went to Roger Williams Park and tried to find a hill that wasn't very crowded.  It was a fun site to see all the kids in the park sledding, it was like a winter wonderland!  We found a hill close to where our friend Rachel lives.  She came out and played with us.  Silas loves Rachel and normally reaches for her the second he sees her.  Enjoy!
