Second Annual Team Field - Another Success

Last Saturday we participated in San Antonio's annual Heart Walk.  As the American Heart Association's signature fundraising event, the Heart Walk promotes physical activity and heart-healthy living in a fun, family environment.  The second annual Team Field joined thousands of walkers from all over San Antonio to have fun, get inspired, and support a meaningful cause.

The man of the hour - Field - of Team Field.

Team Field had almost 60 team members and we raised...wait for it...wait for it...

The amazing Team Field

I cannot even begin to explain how blessed we are to be surrounded with generous, supportive, and loving family and friends.  So many of our sweet family members and great friends came out to the walk and it truly meant the world to us.

When we walked last year, Field was only a few months old and there was so much that was unknown about his health, his development, and his upcoming surgery.  This year, as he ran around at the Heart Walk chasing dogs and playing with his red balloon, he was the picture of great health and we are so blessed and thankful for God's provision and protection over him.  

Field at Heart Walk last year.  So tiny and all bundled up!

Loving his fans during the walk this year and such a big boy!

We enjoyed the event so much and once again, are so grateful to those who continuously love and support our family.  We hope that seeing sweet (and very active!) Field has brought you joy, hope, and faith that we have a God that is bigger and better and more capable than we could ever imagine.

Sweet moments

This Fall, I started a new bible study.  At first I was hesitant knowing this study requires a lot of time.  We meet weekly with an attendance policy for 2 hours each week.  I have never been a part of such an in depth study of the bible and I am loving it!  The women in my group are amazing - sweet, Godly, and encouraging women that know SO much more than I do about the bible.  I am learning so much from them.  One thing I love most is that we are all young mommies doing our best to make it through the day while caring for little ones.  One group member mentioned today that we are in a "season" of our lives where right now, we are called to take care of our family.  I loved hearing this.  There are days when I feel like I should be doing more but this is exactly where God wants me right now and I am so thankful.

Field is doing great in the children's program during the bible study.  They sing songs, learn bible stories, and pray.  Field understands now how to pray.  He doesn't quite fold his hands and bow his head, but he watches, smiles, and yells out "Ameeeee!" when we finish the prayer.  Today his teachers told me that he was sad when I left him in his classroom.  He quickly bounced back, but would run to the door every now and then, look out and say, "mama."  I am beginning to enjoy this mama's boy phase.  :)

Adults Only Time

last Thursday we left this sweet face for the first time ever - mommy may or may not have cried hard.

we traveled here with 6 very special friends.

we had the time of our lives.

naps by the pool, relaxation, amazing meals, breathtaking views, {late night dancing with killer dance moves}, and lots of laughs.

 

we made the best memories.

missed the baby, but this getaway was exactly what this girl was needing.  good for our marriage, our family, and our friendships.

we came back rested, rejuvenated, and ready to see our little man.  (and our friends couldn't wait to see their precious babies too.)

cabo, we love you and will see you again real soon.
and a huge thank you to BB/Poppy and Nonnie/Granddaddy for keeping our sweet Field!
