like father, like daughter

We finally got snow! Addalie loved it. We were out for awhile & she didn't seem to mind being cold at all. (just like her daddy)(not like her mommy) =)

2 of a kind....in every way shape & form!

Last weekend our church had a marriage conference. It was held at The Hershey Lodge & it was so wonderful! We were able to spend time with some of our closest friends & hear fantastic teachings on marriage. The speakers were so challenging but also full of grace. I was reminded of how much mercy I have received from the Lord & because of that I need to be quick to show mercy to Scott (& others) even in their weaknesses. There were 5 sessions & I would highly recommend listening to a few of them. Go to http://www.mercy4marriage.org/ under MP3. My favorites were "God's Mercy-My Marriage" by Dave Harvey & "Mercy & The Antisocial Nature of Sin" by Paul Tripp. Scott wasn't able to be there the entire time because he was at market so I did some solo sessions & during our free time I went to the outlets & then the spa at Hotel Hershey!

we didn't get any pictures of the 2 of us (that i liked) at the conference, .....but in honor of the marriage theme, i thought i should at least find a semi-recent one of us.

we got to have breakfast w/3 of our closest friend-couples!

Scott & I have felt SO BLESSED to be in our church. http://www.crosswaypa.org/ We started attending right after we were married & have been so taken care of through solid biblical preaching, accountability, practical help, & love. We are thankful!

*thank you grandmothers for taking care of Addalie. i knew that she was being WELL taken care of!
