Claire turned 9 months today...wow!!!! Cannot believe it! And Wells will be 2 next month! Both are at a very fun point and LOVE LOVE each other! Claire isn't moving so it's beautiful!! I know that sounds terrible, but it's so nice to just let her sit up and play with toys or watch Wells play in the den with whatever he has!!! She isn't even trying to get on all fours and I LOVE it! She is just so content and smiling all day long. Today she clapped for the first time and was so proud that she did it ALL day...even in her carseat! Wells is in love with music and just loves to dance and sing all day so we are guessing she is trying to clap to the beat of his music! He can be a total toddler at times, but he is still very sweet natured and loves his time with mama. He also loves to talk to anyone and everyone at the grocery store, mall, etc. He's pretty good at holding a conversation too! It's a hoot. I keep trying to video him in action, but once the camera comes out he clams out. Both of my kids hate the camera I've decided! One day....
As for now, I decided to post a video instead of pictures. Wells is obsessed with the VBS soundtrack from our church last week so that is what he is listening too. He usually does all the motions and sings but once he realizes I'm taping him watch how he freezes! And please ignore my voice! Enjoy! (the huge blessing is below the video)
As for the blessing (besides my kids of course), it is awesome! Chris and I have really been trying to be good stewards of our money and truly want to glorify God in how we spend, give, and save, but the saving part has been hard with two in diapers, one in formula, and well...life itself. So we were having a discussion about formula and how we just can't believe how much it is and how we will feel rich come October. We really want to be able to pay off our van, give more, and save for Wells and Claire for the future and the 150 a month we would save not buying formula would help a little. Well, ten minutes after our conversation my phone rang. It was a sweet friend (who I can't name) who is a Similac Rep. She said that this never happens, but a hospital had just contacted her and said that their similac sensitive cases were expiring september 3oth and they had no use anymore. They asked her if she wanted them back or could they throw them away. Well...she knew I used this for Claire and called me. She said she was down the street and was on the way to drop them off. She had no idea that Claire would be 1 in October and we would only need it until September 30th! Ya'll this was the EXACT amount of cans we will need to make it until October. Is God unreal or what! I mean...look at the details of all of that. He provides in ways that we could never imagine and He is FAITHFUL!! I just had to give Praise where praise was due! Let us never forget all that He does for us on a daily basis...the small and the big!
