EVERYTHING CHANGES!!!!

Well, God works in mysterious ways! Sometimes that's an understatement! He is definitely teaching us that He is in control and if we only get out of the way, He wants to bless us abundantly...giving us our hearts desires! He is so good! As I wrote about a few months ago, Nate recently started a new job with Center-point, which was a blessing b/c he had been looking for a change for a long time, and the money was good so he was able to quit his second job so we had him back on weekends! So all was great and we were just getting adjusted to the new job and then God does something miraculous! There was a position that became available at the Ark church where we have been attending for 5 years that fell in Nate's lap and all has worked out as only God could have done! Once again, Nate will be changing jobs the end of this month and will be the systems administrator for the Ark and he is so excited! This is truly a dream job that will require alot of time and hard work but in an excellent environment and he will have tremendous opportunity to be stretched and to grow! Challenging but so rewarding and for eternal purposes! :) Praise God! It is so obvious that God's hand is in all of this because as the scripture says, On my own I can do nothing, but with God ALL things are possible!
I love our church and am so thankful that Nate will be able to work there...for those that are married...you understand that when a man loves his job, he is so much happier when he comes home and it makes a huge difference in your relationship! Nate has learned to be content with his other jobs but none of them have truly fulfilled him or been something he looked forward to each day! Ask and you shall receive...we have been praying for years that God would put Nate somewhere he would love to work and find purpose and fulfillment there and in His perfect timing he works all things together for the good of those who love Him! Thank you Jesus!
Now if He can just help me be flexible as everything changes AGAIN! :)


As for Noah...I can't believe he will be 6 months this weekend! I weighed him today and he weighs 16 lbs, 9 oz! He is so big! :)
We have gotten through the peas, squash, green beans and today we started carrots and so far so good! Next is sweet potatoes then fruits!

Here's a video of Noah and his Daddy! :)

Baby food

Peas...check
Squash...check

2 veggies down, 2 more to go then we get to move on to fruits! :)

I am attempting to make my own baby food and so far so good! It is actually super easy! Noah wasn't sure about the peas...the first time he was soooo dramatic! He started gagging and spitting them out! HA! But then the next few times he got used to it and eats them no problem now! So today we tried the squash and no gagging but he wasn't thrilled! 2 more days of squash then we move on to green beans then sweet potatoes then fruit!


It's so much fun watching him grow and change each day! I just went through his closet and am finally washing all his 6-9 month clothes b/c he is quickly outgrowing most of his 3-6 months!
He weighs 15 pds 9 oz. and I haven't measured him lately but I know he has gotten even longer! He has 2 teeth now and this part has not been fun! :( They really hurt him!

He is bouncing up a storm in his jumper! He loves it! He is almost sitting up on his own...he'll do it for about a minute then fall over! His core needs to get a little bit stronger and he'll be sitting totally on his own! We took Noah to the beach for the first time a week ago and he loved the water!
Then he passed out in his pack-n-play! :)



We have been super busy withe photo shoots but it is alot of fun! We are doing our good friends, the Nemec's, this Saturday and I am really looking forward to it! Well, thats an update on the Saffle's!
