2011. It seems so futuristic to me. Isn't it still 1996? Where does time go? I was just playing with my Rainbow Brite doll and Teddy Ruxpin like yesterday. Am I really a 27 year old mom and wife? Wild. This year is going to be a big one. Lots of big changes are rapidly approachin…
The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. John 1:14 Thank you, Father.
It all started around 1am on Monday night. Husby and I were laying in bed talking and before I knew it he was snoozing. I gave him a quick kiss and rolled over and whispered a prayer before closing my eyes. I heard Levi through the monitor sighing with each breath. "Ooooohhhhh&quo…
If you keep up with my Love Story section of my blog, you know that Husby moved to my town the summer before our Senior year of High School. So really, he was only a part of our community for a year before moving off to college. I grew up in the same Church my entire life, and so did he…
I've just about decided that restaurants should have two seating options: Child Friendly / Not Child Friendly. I am a very easy going girl. I don't get my feathers ruffled too often and it takes a lot to get me really mad. However, if you mess with my family, the claws come out …
A lot of sadness has filled families around me over the past few weeks, and I can't help but have a heavy heart when I think and pray for them. Last week, we had a moment of blogging silence for Cohen . I had the privilege of attending his memorial service which was absolutely beauti…
I see more parallels to my relationship with Christ through parenting more than any other area of my life. It seems that from the moment I discovered I was pregnant with my sweet child, the Lord began more clearly revealing Himself to me and in aspects that I'd never fully grasped. …
There in the ground His body lay, light of the world by darkness slain; Then, bursting forth in glorious day, up from the grave He rose again! And as He stands in victory, sin’s curse has lost its grip on me; For I am His and He is mine, bought with the precious blood of Christ. (Lyrics f…
He slowly stepped out of the comfort of His warm bed, knowing this was the day He was created for. He'd been up most the night talking it through with His Father, asking for wisdom and seeking just a grain of comfort. As He took a deep breath, whispered a prayer for strength and wal…
Yesterday afternoon as I was changing Weebie's diaper, I prayed a little prayer over him aloud. "God, thank you for Levi's little kidneys - that they work properly. Thank you for his health." At this point Levi started wiggling, flipping and flopping and trying to take …
Baby Einstein Vs. Praise Baby Let me just start by saying that I, personally, am not a fan of sitting the baby in front of the television and letting him watch it for an hour. I don't think it's healthy and there are plenty of other things I would rather encourage than TV. I limi…
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. Luke 2:11 Merry Christmas. Last year, I was three months pregnant with Levi at Christmas time. I remember reflecting so deeply on a new aspect of Christ's birth that I could never before then unde…
A fellow Blogger, Carrie, informed me that she chose me as Blogger of the Month. She wrote the sweetest article about my little ole blog. Thank you, Carrie!! http://address-the-world.blogspot.com/ Day 19. AND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN." So far, our story is as follows: C…
This is a fun thing I received in my e-mail and thought it would be fun to do on here! :) The name of the game is Finish That Sentence! 1. I’ve come to realize that my body. . . is pretty amazing. It can stretch out to crazy capacity while housing a baby and then just go back! Of course…
One cold evening earlier this month, my parents came up to bring something that I’d left at their house. We decided to grab dinner at The Spaghetti Warehouse, so we bundled up Levi (and ourselves) and headed that way. In our city, The Spaghetti Warehouse is located smack dab in the cent…
I missed a few days of Advent with Weebie! While I don't have any uploaded pictures right now, I wanted to get the blog caught up, anyway! I am posting Saturday's, too, because we will be out all evening. Day 9. ...and laid Him in a manger. Day 10. In a field nearby, shepherds te…
You know those moments that you think back on, and they truly seem magical? Where everything was so perfect and fantastical that there was no other place you'd rather be than in THAT moment in time? Well, that is how this entire weekend was. Simply magical. November was a rough mont…
We had a change of plans and ended up staying all weekend on our little getaway instead of coming home Saturday night. I meant to post these last night when we got home, but....I caught a little bug on our trip and I've been S-I-C-K for the past 24 hours. It's tough being sick w…
