What a Great Day!

Today was a blast for the Rozema family! We ended up searching for homes out in Wentzville. We found an awesome home to build that is right in our price range! It was a 2 story home with a walk out basement. 3 bedrooms with an optional 4th in the basement. 3 bathrooms with an optional 1/2 bathroom in the basement. It is so exciting. Now if only our house would sell! Please be in prayer about that.

Poor Lorén is pretty sick. We are PRAYING that it is teethers coming through. Lorén has a runny nose, upset tummy and a horrible diaper rash. Poor girl screams bloody murder when we go to change her diaper. We feel so bad for her! On the flip side, if she's going to be sick, she can at least look cute! Here is the outfit she wore today


















How cute is that? She is Momma's little pun'kin! I got that little outfit for $3 on clearance! I just HAD to have it. . .wouldn't you agree?

Mike finished his Take Home Exam today. He still has a lot of catching up on Homework to do. He's pretty tired but hanging tough :).

I have a bit of a sinus thing going on. It stinks but it's nothing that nyquil won't cure! I'm also pretty worn out! Yesterday I got a call at 6:30 that Sheri's (my best friend) water broke! She asked me to come get her two sons and care for them for the day. Of course it was my pleasure! Cooper and Nelson were so excited! Maddox Carl was born at 10:44 am. He was 7lbs 4oz and 19 inches long. He is just ADORABLE! I miss those itty bitty days so much! I can't wait to have another. . .oh wait, yes I can :)! As soon as I have a picture, I will post it.

10 Month Pictures

The BEST part about this picture session was that she LOVED holding onto the apple. It made her pictures that much more "sweet!"

Lorén is 10 Months Old

I can't believe it! My baby is growing up so fast! She is getting so independent! Her favorite thing is to pull all of her toys off of her shelf. She is quite a "talker." Her new favorite noise is "Gotchagotchagoow." She will occasionally say "Up" along with "Mom" and "Da." She is getting good at feeding herself. Mommy is a bit anxious about her choking. I wonder if she will be eating jarred baby foods when she is 16? She goes to Moms Day Out on Mondays. She does so well there! Although they can't get her to eat or nap. There is just too many other things to be doing in a day.

Mike is busy with classes. He is taking 2 this fall. It's really tough on him. Not only does he have a lot of homework but he also has a lot of travel time and work stress. Sometimes it's overwhelming. He has an exam coming up this week so please pray for him. He struggles with finding ways to balance his work-load and his desire to be with his family.

I have been taking an amazing Bible Study this Fall. It's called Seeking Him it's been really hard as the first 4 weeks have been about personal confession. I can't wait for next week when we begin talking about Grace! Besides that, I keep busy around the house. Keeping up with a babies laundry is tough! I love playing with Lorén all day long! Being a Stay at Home Mother is an amazing blessing. If time and money allow, I will begin my masters this Spring. I'm pretty excited about that.

Well, here are some pictures from our family outing the other day. We went to Grant's Farm.
