As I watch Clark dive head first in to his toy box, and hear the shuffle of papers from a studying husband in the background, I am reminded of the blessings in the mundane. I am so thankful to have a son, even when cleaning up after his amazingly large messes gets frustrating. I am so thankful to have a husband committed to leading students well, even when it means long days alone with a baby. It is so easy to get caught up in the daily routine and forget to stop and just be thankful... even for the things that sometimes bring frustration. The Lord has blessed out little family with so much! Today I want to update you on the Taylors by telling you what we are thankful for.
We are thankful for a joyful and healthy 11 month old (when did that happen?!) Clark is one of the most observant babies I have ever been around. I often find myself wondering "what is this kid thinking?". He is pulling up on everything and cruising along the furniture. I'm sure he will be walking in no time! Which will be nice since he is so large, ha! ...98th percentile to be exact.
I am thankful for our home and the love and joy under it's roof. Now that the sun is hanging around more we are able to enjoy our back deck and walks with Clark. We really took the sun for granted living in the south.
I am thankful for my little crochet business. I am also thankful for a supportive husband! I am still making a large variety of items but have recently been able to really specialize in my top three favorites and best sellers! Orders are steady coming in and the extra income afforded Chris and I a little anniversary cruise. I am currently doing a diapers and bows drive with a good friend and fellow crocheter (you can read more about that in the previous post). Just a few weeks ago I launched my website ( http://www.haleyscrochetcreations.bigcartel.com/ ) I was recently featured on a feed for my baby girl bows! Like I said about 20 times already... So Thankful!
Chris and I can certainly use your prayers over the coming months as we enter the summer season of youth craziness! Camps, retreats, mission trips, and more are on the horizon! More updates to come!
Last but not least, a special blog to check out for young girls, written by a very sweet and God fearing young woman. I hope you will be encouraged by her wisdom! https://jaceycarrier.wordpress.com/
