"TO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED"

So these past few weeks have been crazy and exhausting for everyone in the Brian household. I took a 5th and 6th grade basketball job, Chris' football team made it to the playoffs, and he is beginning coaching for basketball, and of course Cade and his crazy schedule with doctor appointments. Amidst all the stress we have right now in our lives, I was reminded today, by a quote that says it all.."Too Blessed To Be Stressed." How true is this statement. Of course this time of the year always reminds us of how truly thankful we are and should be.
I am so grateful to the Lord for how he has brought comfort, health, joy, and many other numerous provisions during the course of this year. We are so very blessed!

I am also grateful for family. My sister just recently sent me some pics that she took of her kids. We don't get to see them that often..only when we travel to Ohio for Cade's eye appointments. These pictures are amazing! She is an awesome photographer and not to mention Holland and Addi Kae are too precious!! I am very thankful for her and so proud of how she has continued to seek the Lord in everything that she does. She is an awesome wife, a loving mom, and a wonderful sis! Love you Hill!

Happy Halloween and a few random pics.....

So Cade was a Race car driver for Halloween. It was actually a Pit Crew costume, but we told him it was a race car driver--Lightning McQueen. He had a great time and actually went up to a couple of houses by himself--that was huge!! He was so excited all week for Halloween. We asked him what he was going to say when he went up to the door and he said, "trick or treat, smell my feet.." We eliminated the last phrase to be polite..haha!
The other pics are from school. He had school pictures last week and they didn't take his the day I had him dressed. As you will notice he was NOT cooperative with the photographer, but glad he expressed his true self. This pic has the real CADE written all over it.
We actually found another race car costume today on sale and he had to have it. He looks somewhat like Ricky Bobby from Talladega Nights..haha!! Too funny!!!

Enjoy!!
