On Saturday, February 11, it snowed for the first time this winter.
We didn't get much, but Tater didn't care. It was soo cold, so we only let him run around in it for a little while the next day.

What Fun!
About a month ago, Tater and I went to spend a weekend with Nana and Papa.
While we were there,
he played piano,
convinced Papa to push him on the swings,
hung out in the hammock with Mommy,
played with horses with Nana,
showed off his new superhero cape,
ran into the end of a bench and got a pretty yucky boo boo on the side of his face (which left a little scar),
and wore his cowboy hat while riding on the bike in his pajamas.
What fun he has while at Nana and Papa's house!

Bubble Bath Paints
Dear Pinterest, you have given me so many new ideas.
I decided that tonight was a good night to try out one of those new ideas: Bubble Bath Paints!
It seemed easy enough.
What I didn't plan on was the blue food dye top popping off.
(I didn't have any cornstarch like the recipe calls for, but I read that you can use a double amount of flour. Seemed to work just fine.)
Mixed up some different colors and off we went to the shower. He loves the shower and since it has a hand held shower sprayer, I figured it would make clean up a breeze.

He had so much fun and painted two walls and the glass door.
The best part was the clean up. I showed him how to wash it off and then that became a game. It all washed right off of the shower and off of him.

What a great Saturday night.
My God Is So Big
Most nights, when it's time for Tater to go to sleep, he will ask us to rock him and while rocking him, he'll ask us to sing. It's the cutest thing ever. Dave has a few songs that he always sings to him, but I like to change it up. Some nights, I sing hymns, other nights I'll sing praise choruses, and then sometimes, I'll pick a childhood song like Skidamarink.
Last night as I was rocking him for a few minutes before putting him in his crib, this simple song that we used to sing in Children's Church instantly came to mind.
My God is so big, so strong and so mighty
There's nothing my God cannot do
My God is so big, so strong and so mighty
There's nothing my God cannot do
The mountains are his
The rivers are his
The skies are his handy works too
My God is so big, so strong and so mighty
There's nothing my God cannot do
As I was singing it, I couldn't help but look at my little guy and remember just how true that song is. With Him, all things are possible. Because of Him, I am now a mommy, something that seemed impossible at times.
There are many times that I worry about what the future holds. I wonder if we'll ever be able to adopt again, if I'll ever want to adopt again (more on that later), if Tater is meant to be an only child. Singing that simple song to Tater last night brought tears to my eyes because it was a reminder to me of all that He has already done and the fact that I can put my trust in Him for my future, no matter what it holds.
I just have to remember that even when things feel impossible and I'm discouraged, that my God is so big, so strong and so mighty, and there's nothing my God cannot do.
