Well, these few and far between posts are becoming a habit, aren't they?
Only 3 posts so far in the month of March?!
That's unheard of in my 12 years of blogging. But you know what? I'm OK with it.
Such is the season of my life right now.
We're finally into Spring and that means Summer is just around the corner!
This picture just makes me happy. My #1 & #3.
A windy day makes for great kite flying!
See the happy little boy flying his kite?
Faith got to go on a quick weekend trip with daddy to see Uncle Ben's race.
She's tall enough now to ride the big ATV and trek through the desert 10 miles
while following daddy on his dirt bike!
Boys will be boys. 😍
She had so much fun and loved her time with two of her favorite men.
Meanwhile.... This was at 10AM, when he dozed off on the way to the library.
(That's because he'd been up partying in his room since 5AM!)
He got a second wind after a short nap.
My boy crush. 💘
Sundays are for sibling photos.
Can we all just say, "GLORY!" for daylight savings?!
His outdoor playtime just got extended and he's pretty happy about that.
Note to self: Check inside the oven before preheating and walking to the park.
The mischievous toddler may have stashed some things in there like a box of cereal, a jar of peanut butter, that loaf of bread that's been missing, and a variety of other items. 😱
Came back to a smoke filled house! #ohlawd #toddlerlife
I love games that are educational. Found a matching game that teaches lower case letters. #boom
Morgan usually takes Zach to the skate park on Monday nights while I take the girls to Speech & Debate. On this particular Monday, we were off from Speech & Debate so the whole family went to the skate park to watch Zach do his thing.
You snooze, you lose. 😄
"Mama, can you see me?" 😂
Park dates with mama.
My baby's growing up. 😍
"Let him sleep for when he wakes, he shall..."
Rule the Galaxy!
Helping daddy with his newest project.
A built-in sandpit for his excavating lovin' little boy.
Zach loves it and plays in it everyday. #superdad
Zach cannot get enough of Arnold Lobel's books. He has them all memorized!
Swollen bottom lip from an ant bite at the park. He just can't leave the ants alone. #sigh #boys
Ministry update: We had our second meeting a few weeks ago and again, Morgan and I were amazing by the turn out. We had quite a few people who volunteered to help with Safe Families as well as 4 new families who wanted to pursue adoption! We now have a total of SIX families from our church who are going through the adoption process. Wow, right?!! #godissogood
Loved this quote by Bob Goff.
We all think we want safe and comfortable but looking back on my life, if God hadn't given me the courage to take risks, I wouldn't be able to fulfill His purpose for me. #bebravewithyourlife #havecourage #getoutoftheboat
I saw this quote soon after I had surgery. Oh, yeah, I had surgery 2 weeks ago! I spent the night in the hospital and came home to two days of pain and suffering. I'm fine now and feeling good. The surgery was on the schedule for a while and at some point, I may share about it but the point is,
God doesn't waste any suffering. #sufferwell
The storms of life will come but Christ is our hope and anchor.
In our social media saturated world, it's so easy to display our moments of awesomeness.
Let's value wisdom over flash.
I had a sweet convo with Faith the other day and this quote pretty much summed up what we were talking about. Friends, we need to be brave with our lives so that our children can be brave with theirs, too. #preachingtomyself #braveparenting #bravekids
Up next!
We celebrated two very special birthdays last week!
