Busy, busy, busy!!!

We have been crazy busy the past few weeks.  

Kraig went back to work.  We so miss him when he works.  Rett loves his daddy!  That's all he talks about during the day.  

We had a great doctor visit a couple weeks ago.  Rett grew an inch and a half.  Didn't gain any weight really but that's ok.  They weren't too concerned this time.  They gave us some things to work on for his next visit.  

He has made stride in his speech too.  I haven't been to worried about it but he has started to say "foo-ball,"  "ba-ball," and "jui" and "blue" for blueberries.  It's been so fun.  We are working on our ABCs and numbers now.  We got some fun games for Christmas so we work on the alphabet every few days.  Just taking it a day at a time.

We had a youth weekend a couple weeks ago.  It was super fast and super good.  The kids worked hard and played even harder.  They are so fun and I look forward to many more great trips.

Kraig and I went to Passion2014 this past weekend with our friend's church as leaders.  We were so blessed to be apart of the weekend and be with our friends.  They live out of town so its always a treat to see them and get to hear their hearts, share our hearts and just laugh.  It was a weekend that we needed.  We feel refreshed and ready to face the day.  There were a lot of great speakers and music.  And we learned a lot.  I'm still processing most of it but the Lord is good and faithful.  We have a lot to work on and do.  


Rett had a great time with his Gpa which has turned into "Budpa" and Honey which he hasn't said often enough for us to know what that one is but he was so spoiled and came home exhausted from all the playing.  So thankful that he was able to spend some extra time with them so they can spoil him.

Basketball is wrapping up for Kraig.  He has had a pretty good year.  It's been fun to go watch the girls play and see him coach.  He's so good with them.  And patient.  Baseball should start soon.  We look forward to that and the warmer weather.  

We are excited for the next few months.  Lots of fun things going on!  Be sure to check back for more Rett pics and his first haircut will probably happen soon :/

I got a side hustle....

I recently became a shampoo girl... I wasn't looking for anything different.  I started a new job over the summer at Lighthouse Foster Care which I absolutely love.  I love the flexibility of it.  I love the atmosphere.  I love learning the ins and outs of foster care and eventually adoption.  I love serving the families and helping the agency grow because I truly believe it is the best in the area.  I love it. BUT.... As much as I love it and love serving in that capacity....THE LORD kept tugging at my heart... "Ashleigh, you need to get out more...Ashleigh, you have a gift....Ashleigh, are you loving people the best way you know how?" While none of these things have to do with shampoo or foster care, it does have to do with getting outside of my bubble.  I really struggle with being around people and a lot of people for that matter.  I have to do it in spurts and I have to prepare myself for it.  But THE LORD kept saying..."Ashlei...

New additions....new life....

I'm going to get this another shot.  It is such a great outlet to let our family see pics of my kids and share our lives.  So...here goes. Here is just a snapshot of what you can expect as I kick this back up.... I don't think I have posted since 2015....so we had another kid.  My parent's bought a family farm so we are all out living on the Holland Homestead that I have so named it.  We have chickens!  The Lord has worked so many things out so I look forward to sharing with you those answered prayers.  I got a new job which I love.  Kraig's job has shifted.  We love our youth group and church.  Ya know....God is just so good and He provides beyond our wildest dreams. Life can still be messy and I look forward to sharing those stories with you too but here we are...just a family of 4 living life and loving Jesus through it. I look forward to sharing our lives with you and all the bumps and bruises along the way.

Live Love

Over Valentine's weekend, Kraig and I took a group of our youth along with our friends at First Baptist Lakeview down to Atlanta to the International Village for a mission trip/retreat. I have to confess....I was beyond stressed out.  I was imagining anything and everything to go wrong. This was the first trip that we completely did ourselves.  Usually, we go along with others and go to some big retreat where we have to plan NOTHING!  But with this, we had to plan EVERYTHING.  So, I was scared of forgetting things, how everything would work out, and what things could go wrong. Well, GOD IS GOOD...ALL THE TIME, GOD IS GOOD!  We arrived late Friday night and had a great start off to the weekend.  Mitchell and Kraig did a great job all weekend with the main talks.  And the music was wonderful.  But the main part of the days were doing the missions. Both Saturday and Sunday we went to different apartment complexes and played with kids and shared...
