Almost two months ago, I got my refurbished iPhone 4. The next Sunday, while we were manning the nursery, my friend Naomi told me about her favorite, must have photo apps. Add Instagram a month later and I am totally hooked. I am snapping pictures, cropping, changing colors, adding borders and restraining myself from sharing […]
Today, I Rejoice
The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, and […]
I Want My Mom!
Did you see my slip up yesterday? Yeah, from my phone I posted a blog about Ben being one, Jack being four and then an odd post called One and Four that was a draft that was accidentally published and I can’t figure out how to take down from my iPhone.* And really, I don’t […]
Four
Jack is now four. There is no baby and barely any toddler left in this little boy. He keeps me on my toes every day with his imagination. Nothing is what it actually is. The laundry room is the train. The couch is the silly car. The basement is the machine. And on and on […]
One!
My baby is one year old and according to the doctor is no longer a baby, but a toddler. (Hate to break it to you Ben, but you’ll always be my baby) Weighing in last week at 23 pounds 13.5 ounces and at least 31 inches tall, this one is breaking my back! He’s moving […]
I Struggle
Sometimes I struggle. Sometimes I struggle a lot. I hesitated to come back into this blog world because my life just doesn’t feel pretty and blog-like. I don’t have it all together and I feared, would people be disappointed in me? Would they look down on me? Would I fail? And then I remembered the […]
A Birthday Party
I now have a one year old and a four year old (well, almost four). Here’s their day. Jack insisted on a yellow teddy bear cake. He’s obsessed with yellow. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9SnLxar9E8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrWMXz2f9uU
This Thanksgiving…
This Thanksgiving I’m thankful for… My spunky, sweet, imaginative almost 4 year old. My coy, snugly, increasingly boisterous almost 1 year old. My hardworking husband who continues to encourage and amaze me with his patience, pursuit of God, and care for others. A job where I can do what I love. My God who is […]
Dreams, Ambitions, & Reality
Dreams. I have so many. One day, I would like to travel. I want to visit people I’ve met from Great Britain and from Australia. I’d like to go to Hawaii. I want to take my kids to Disney World (if Tim will let me). I want to see Broadway shows in New York City. […]
How to Slow Things Down
Jack has it down. We tell him it’s time to put on his shoes and this is the conversation: Me: Jack, please put on your shoes now. Jack: Weeellll (you gotta drag out the “well”)… I need to drive my car first. Me: No, Jack. We need to go in the van. You need to […]
