Life Lately & What I've Been Reading

Most of the pictures in this post are a few weeks old, but I wanted to post them before they got lost in the abyss that is the camera roll on my phone. ;)  Life lately has been good, just a little bit busier than usual! I have started serving in the 3-5 year old class at our church a few Sundays a month & I joined a ladies' Bible study that meets one evening a week. Derek & I are also hosting a parenting group at our church on Wednesday evenings, which has pushed us out of our comfort zones a bit to say the least..but it's been great so far! We actually have two fellow Air Force couples in our group with young kids that just moved to San Antonio recently, so it's been fun to connect with them! And on the homefront, we have been meeting with different companies to get our sprinkler system repaired after all of the damage caused by the pool excavation/construction, and Derek has turned our garage into a little woodshop for himself! He is hard at work building us a new dining room table & benches. I can't wait to see how it all comes together!  We have a few fun visitors lined up in March, so hopefully we'll be able to get a lot knocked out before then! :)

We had a chilly Saturday a few weeks ago, and the girls had the best time observing the fire and trying to realistically illustrate it. Then when we baked cookies, they were observing again and trying to illustrate the different stages of the baking process. They had the best time!

And last but not last, a quick look at what I've been reading lately! I absolutely loved all six of these books and would definitely recommend them!
