Corn Maze



Ever since living in North Carolina, I have always wanted to go to a corn maze! After about 6 years of being in this state, this year was my lucky year! 

We went mainly for the kids, so decided to do the kiddie corn maze that was free with the general admission instead of paying to go through the big one! And honestly, I think that we would not have enjoyed the big corn maze as much as we did the little one!

We started out letting Jude ride the miniature horse. He was still a bit timid, but did not cry. But he did seem to like the fake blow up horse way better!



We let the kids play on the play ground for a while, checked out the small pumpkin patch, and then decided to check out the corn maze.





Jude playing "king of the hay stacks", he would climb to the top and then jump off! 



Our best attempt at a pumpkin patch picture:





Jude was very excited to begin our journey into the corn maze.



Eden on the other hand, needed a little encouragment!


We had so much fun together as a family playing in the corn maze! We were the only ones in there, and it inevitably was a big circle with little cut through paths, so no one would get too lost. We started to let the kids walk ahead of us, and then would run around a scare them (I know it sounds terrible!) 

The picture below was the first time Michael scared Eden:




After see saw it was Daddy and realized we were playing a game, it was on and the fun began!


I kept my camera out for the first bit to catch their expressions as they would come around the corner!









It is so much fun to be able to play with the kids and enjoy myself! Tonight was a big reminder of how quickly they are growing up! Just see my two little babies walk off into the corn maze by themselves, brought tears to my eyes! I know I am raising these to children to be able to go off on their own, but I am afraid the time is passing way too quickly!

Winter

Image
Winter: cold, dark, long, dreary, depressing, dead. That pretty much sums up my feelings of winter being a Florida girl.  I hate winter. Everything is dead; the grass, the trees (at least the leaves on the trees), the flowers and this winter was no different. It started out just like stated above and then turned into a blizzard. Things were happening and I didn't understand why. My life had entered what seemed to be an eternal winter state. But I had forgotten that winter was only a season and that this wasn't going to last forever. There was no spring in sight for me. Thankfully God swept in the way he does and gently reminded me that this is all part of his plan. He spoke the world into existence, he designed the seasons, and He did it all for His glory. God wanted to teach me something else this winter. He wanted to show me that it's all about Him.  You see, we did have a long cold winter here in NC and right when we thought it was almost over, we were hit ...

Turning My Grief into Gratitude

To give you the quick recap on my life in the past five years: I moved to North Carolina for college, met and married Michael, and wanted to start a family. After this, things went quickly from really good, to really bad. I was able to get pregnant right away. I lost the baby . I was able to get pregnant again the very next month. Again I lost the baby . Even though a year has gone by, typing the words, I lost the baby, makes me want to vomit. Admitting that I now have two children that have died seems unreal. At the time, I felt like I had to regain composure quickly. I was teaching sixth grade and my life seemed like it was moving on a rollercoaster. But now that I am a stay at home mom, I feel like I think about them more often. What would they have looked like? Were they a boy or a girl? Would I have had twins? And I am left with no answers. It seems like after over a year of grieving, God has finally brought light to this area in my life. Yes, I lost two pregnancies and that...

Being Completely Satisfied

As I reflect on the past and even examine my life now, I often find that I become consumed with whatever is going on in my life at that time. I will focus all of my thoughts and attention to this matter until it is resolved. To give you a few examples, at one point in my life, all I wanted was to be out of my parents house, then it was that I just waned to graduate high school, next I wanted to graduate college, after that I could not wait to get engaged, that turned into I couldn't wait to get married, then if I could just have children everything would be fine. I thought all of these were life and death matters at that time. If I could only get that 'one' thing in my life, I would be happy and satisfied. But when I lie awake at night for hours, not able to sleep because I am thinking about what I want my future house to be like, something is wrong . The fact is that when I get that 'one' thing, something else will soon repl...
