Another month has gone by and I haven't posted anything! Does that mean there's nothing going on chez Mueller? No, quite the contrary.
After returning from Atlanta (the trip during which Eli had a horrendous gastro bug - poor little thing) . . . Analise then got a bug and had a pretty high fever for about two days. This happened to be over the Tuck Winter Carnival - so we didn't really get to participate in any of those festivities - and believe me, there was nothing photograph-able about the the weekend!
Then we left for Idaho Falls for 10 days over Daniel's spring break. Daniel did some skiing and we had some quality time with Grandpa and Grandma Mueller and cousins Jacob and Hannah. Analise gets along really well with her cousins and they do such a good job of including her and playing with her - it's so fun to be with them!
Eli celebrated his first birthday at Grandma's. This time he was dealing with teething issues and we kept him on all matter of teething tablets, tylenol, and orajel around the clock. Finally he recovered and everyon was able to enjoy what a happy little guy he really is!
Happy Birthday Li- Li we're so blessed to have you in our family and we look forward to getting to know you more and more!
Then there's the reason for the title. I listened to a devotion today about Grace . . . and the speaker said often we listen to what we should do, go home and struggle to do it and eventually fail because we are doing something in our own power. It's only God's grace that gives us the power to live a Godly life. I feel a small sense of this in doing the blog. I start out with gusto, do about five, and then get side-tracked, forgetful, or just lazy! Same with devotions, taking vitamins, exercising, being patient - and even just being nice. I need God's grace in every part of my life! I learned that Grace not only redeems us from the mistakes but takes us a step further and gives us the power to move ahead - in ways we would have never dreamed possible for ourselves.
I experience God's grace daily and the days that I'm aware of it I'm so thankful and joyful! So, while I cannot promise any more blogs right away (although I have some pictures of Eli's birthday) I just wanted to share some of the things that we're doing and the Grace that's getting me through them!

Amen Sister!!! Have you recovered your phone? I was missing a mid-morning tea time chat this past week.
O.K. so just o clarify...it was not Zak making that comment. His account had been logged in and I didn't know it, so it's from me (Sarah). Love you all!
