This week's project from One Bite at a Time was to create a family mission statement. She shares some of her family's ideas and they are very inspiring. It seems like it would really help clarify how we spend our time, our money, and our energy. It would be a good way to check in and see if we are living by our values, or just coasting. Some of her ideas were live simply, cultivate deep relationships with one another, glorify God in all we say and do, and be lifelong learners. Jonathan and I have discussed this topic years ago, but now that we have a house and child I think it will be good to re-evaluate. To use the house that God has blessed us with for His purposes and to train up our child in the way she should go.

Oh, did I forget to mention? We got the house! We are waiting to find out our exact move-in date, but it will be in the next 2-3weeks! We are so excited and feel like it is a great match for us.

We enjoyed New Years and the Rose Bowl. Quinn turned three months old on Sunday. I can't believe how much she has changed. We made a highlight video of all the footage we have captured so far. It's been quite the journey. You can watch it here if you want, but I'll warn you, it's 24 minutes long. Relatives can handle that sort of time commitment, but not everyone :) We hope to make a video for each three month period so we can stay on top of it all. She has now lived in Oregon longer than California which is crazy to think about and she's lived in three houses with one more to go.
