*sunshine*

So this last week and a half has been SUNNY! So Ruben and I, of course, are outside! He loves to go out and about with me... which is SO nice. I am NOT a homebody, and Ruben isn't either!! He watches people, he smiles and waves at them...
When I was still pregnant with Ruben, I started a journal for him. I use it to write thoughts I have, prayers I pray, and memories I never want him (or I ) to forget. Last night, I wrote how he catches peoples eyes when we're out and about. I believe Ruben has something that attracts people. Comments and smiles that men and women give him are amazing. He has a sparkle in his eyes, and a smile that can make any one's day. I wrote how he can one day use this to further Christ's Kingdom! Sandor and I are reminded EVERYDAY how much a blessing Ruben is, and how he is a gift that we never want to take for granted. Being a Mama is something I will never throw away,or take lightly.

Ruben had a nurse visit today. I LOVE the program that the Native Hospital has... a pediatrician nurse comes to my home, and does measurements and weight. Ruben's nurse is a christian, and she is awesome. She just loves coming to see Ruben. Today he was 29 inches long, and 23 lbs. His head measured in a little over 19inches around!! AHH! Ruben has a HUGE head ha ha!!

So this last weekend, we went to North Star Bible Camp to lead worship for the Singles Retreat. I also led the Devotions for the girls...we had very nice weather, and God totally worked. The Holy Spirit convicted, yet comforted. I needed it, God had shown me some things, and I'm SO blessed He took time to speak my heart.

Ruben had a BLAST out there... he played in the lake, and LOVED it!! He didn't want to get out. The cold didn't phase him a bit! He's part fish : )

Ruben and I are leaving for Homer on Sunday! We will be there for a week... as always, I am looking forward to it! And I'm sure Terry and Jonnie, and everyone else is as well.
I will look a little different when they see me next! Sandor's mother's day present was a piercing, and I now have purple in my hair! So be prepared Terry and Jonnie ; )

Kinda Behind...

So I'm behind a few weeks with the updates, sorry!

Well the end of April wasn't entirely exciting, except for the amazing weather! Anchorage has seen high 60'-low 70's. Ruben and I take advantage of the summer and walk around the neighborhood. He LOVES looking around from his stroller, and its a good workout for me!

Speaking about workouts, I'm very happy to say I've reached my goal for post-pregnancy weight!! I worked hard, and its very nice to see the results. I feel 10x better, and enjoy my pre-pregnancy clothes again...YAY!

Sandor started working the end of April. Ruben and I kinda don't like it because we don't see Sandor as much : ( BUT it pays the bills and then some. God has blessed us with a summer job and we DO NOT take it for granted!!

Since the last post Ruben has grown, and developed just that much more!! He is a chunk, and has started to walk with some help : ) Although he doesn't have walking down completely, the boy is standing by himself! Amazing little boy... we don't get tired of him. He is SO personable, he will FLIRT with anyone he sees. He gets A LOT of attention when we're out and about, I think I will have to have the stranger-danger talk with him soon!

Enjoy the new pictures, and I will try HARD to stay up-to-date!!
