A New Year!

Happy 2014 everyone!

It is the end of the first day of the new year here in good ole South Korea. I started 2014 off with a not typical middle of the night wake up call from Landon. He seemed upset and wouldn't calm himself down like normal so I brought him into bed with Ross and I. Well Landon is a crazy sleeper, he must get that from his daddy, or maybe me! Anyway there was no way we could all get comfortable so at some point Ross made his way to Kenzie's queen size bed and snuggled her. Landon and I woke up around 7:30 this morning and snuggled for a bit, before he decided he wanted to venture out and find dada. 

It was so nice to have both started off our days and year for that matter, by snuggling our littlest loves. Snuggling, kisses and "I love you's" are always the best part of my morning.
We spent the rest of the skyping with family and catching up on Christmas and NYE plans. 
Then the little ones went down for naps, with no fights today, and Ross and I picked up the house and relaxed. Nap time was over entirely to soon and then it was snack time and playtime. The kids love all the new Melissa&Doug wooden toys they received for Christmas. It's so nice they are at the point where they share, most of the time, the toys they have with one another. Then it was dinner time and shortly after that color bath time. Kenzie loves these little tablets that change the water color. If you ask her it's the best invention ever. Well that or her american girl doll Saige, depends on her mood! Lol! After that daddy took over and watched the cartoon movie of Moses with the kids and I got my work out in. Its something new I have started earlier this week and I am proud to say its getting easier. 

So now the bedtime bible stories have been read, the little ones are tucked in and sleeping peacefully and I am blogging while Ross reads his book "A hunger for God". Oh and how could I forget I official copied everything I needed off Facebook and deactivated it. It felt good. Like a weight lifted off. Now I will not have any distractions standing in my way of being better. So once this blog is posted the computer will go away, and I will cozy up with my new blanket, thanks to my awesome sister in law, and read my book and better learn the word of God. 

It's a new year and I am so excited to see what unfolds. I know God has big plans for our family this year!
