Snow and friends ❄️
Two separate days with friends (who are brothers.) I love that they enjoy being active outside in the winter! ❄️❄️❄️
Month: January 2022
Orchids for Astrid
Jake and I took a stained glass class together at The Artery Studio tonight. It was so much fun!
We received three orchid plants after our daughter Astrid died, but I was never able to get them to bloom a second time. We made these to remember our sweet little girl 💗 (and bonus, they don’t need to be watered!)
Snowshoeing ❄️❄️❄️ Skiing
I took Shecklets #1 & 3 to meet up with Aunt Larissa for a snowshoe walk this afternoon. It was so nice to be outside and get fresh air!
Meanwhile, Jake took Shecklets #2 & 4 skiing.
Bible in a Year
I did it! I’m a few days in to 2022, but I did it. I finished listening to the Bible in a Year podcast from Fr. Mike Schmitz.
I’m 44 and this is the first time in my life I have gone through the entire Bible. I learned SO much and am extremely grateful to have been able to learn more about God’s word and my faith.
Standing on the Word of God – 2022
Our parish’s sanctuary has been expanded and part of the remodel involves new flooring. Before the marble is installed, parishioners were given a chance to write a verse on the concrete. (We did this a few years ago prior to the new carpet installed.) Philippians 3: 20, 21 is the verse that is on Astrid’s marker. ❤️ I didn’t realize this until just now when I found my 2017 post, but Phil 3:20 is the verse I chose back then, too.
Remembering Astrid today: 1-4-21
I have been feeling an emptiness inside today. I miss my littlest girl.
A friend of mine posted his on FB. This sums up a lot of what’s on my heart.
