My little man has turned 4!  I really cannot believe he is four and I really can't believe I can say I have a four year old.  Sometimes when you are in phases with kids it feels like it will last forever.  Like the no sleep phase, the teething phase, the we finally found our groove please nothing change phase, the crap things changed again phase, the preschool phase, etc.  But then birthday time comes around and you are like....where did the time go?!!? Please slow this train down!  So here are some pictures memorializing Mason at 4 and also his Rescue Bot Birthday Party!  So blessed to be his Mommy!

And It Has Happened Again....I have fallen off my blogging platform right on my self-involved butt. I think this always happens to me during the winter.  Holidays, Travel & Sickness Derail Me! So here's a post to catch you up.

1.)  We traveled to KY to celebrate Christmas and the New Year with family.

2.)  We found out that our Angel Family we adopted for Christmas was in a lot more need than we knew.  They were about to be evicted but with the help of very generous monetary and food donations from our friends, family and the powers of FB shares we were able to prevent the eviction, help her with her food stamp re certification, get their water and electricity turned back on with the assistance programs.  Now they will be OK until a local ministry gets to them on their wait list for transitional housing and life skills training.  Amen! 

3.)  We have started viewing houses to buy.  We woke up from the Holiday hang over and realized...hey, our lease is up in June.  We need to hurry up and get this house stuff rolling.

4.)  Appropriately #4 on the list.  Mason is turning 4 soon!  So party planning is under way! 

5.)  I have enlisted in a 12 week Biggest Loser contest.  Winner takes home $400.  Good News: We are about 4 weeks in and so far I have lost about 12 pounds. Bad News: I now have Acute Bronchitis and been ordered by the doctor to only workout at 30% of my intensity until it passes.  I look really nerdy walking on the treadmill with my inhaler close by.

I wish we were more interesting and I could list 20 catch up items, but we aren't and 5 is just fine. :)
