2014 Memories

I haven't blogged much this year, or should I say, I haven't published many of the posts I've started. Mainly because I haven't made the time to finish all the ones I've started. I enjoy writing so I hope to make more time for it during the coming year. For now, I'll just share some highlights of 2014.

Micah turned 3 in April

Micah played t-ball this year and loved it! 

Asher turned 1 in May 

Asher's Baby Dedication 

The boys first Disney trip, all of them. Michael had never been either! We had a great time! 

Every summer we enjoy a family beach trip with my family. The boys love the beach, playing in the sand, swimming in the pool, and spending time with my family! 

Micah started Pre-K

Halloween Fun: The Buff Family takes on Top Gun

We had a wonderful Christmas this year and focused on really sharing the birth of Christ with the boys. It was so great to see Micah understand, as much as a 3 year old can, and even share in talking about it as we read the account from the Bible each night. 

We've enjoyed making memories as a family in 2014 and look forward to many more....from lazy days around the house spending time together, walks to the park to play,  fun times at Wild Adventures, trips to the beach or zoo, the Georgia Aquarium, and Disney....just a few things we have done as a family and enjoyed this past year. So thankful for our family and the fun times we can share with them! Making memories isn't just about doing things and going on trips though. It's about being present in your families life in the everyday things too. From taking the time to play a game with the kids in the floor. To listening to them when they have a story to share. To taking the time to read and sing with them. It's about being there for them. Being present.


We love CrossPointe Church and being a part of a faith family! So many memories throughout this past year with our faith family at CrossPointe from retreats, to weekly services, being a part of the women's ministry and d-groups, life group, and the Unseen project. Love seeing God at work at CrossPointe.

We are very thankful that God has allowed us to start Southern Seeds. We celebrated one year in November and look forward to continuing Southern Seeds. Michael and I enjoy working together to create signs, canvas art, and much more! Check us out on Facebook at Facebook.com/southernseeds or our website southernseeds.us. Below are just a few of our projects from this past year!

We are looking forward to 2015 expecting great things as we pursue Christ in all we do! Ultimately, it's about following Him and being in His will. Our prayer for 2015, is that whether it's family time, spending time with friends, traveling, ministry, or Southern Seeds....that we would hold fast to Colossians 3:17:

"And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him."
