Motherhood is a marathon. Enjoy the run.
Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; His love endures forever. Psalm 107:1 Lincoln is growing so fast and is such a delight! His latest accomplishments include smiling, cooing, laughing, finding his feet and reaching for toys! It's always amazing to me how quickly babies grow up! His smiles absolutely melt my heart! Landen got his first hair-cut this past … [Read more...]
Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; His love endures forever. Psalm 107:1 Our oldest son is growing up so fast. Here is Nolan not even two years ago. I can hardly keep up with how quickly he is changing. This past Saturday, Nolan's braces went on. It was a joyful day for me (and him). It was a celebrated thing. You see, braces weren't something that I took for … [Read more...]
Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; His love endures forever. Psalm 107:1 I know I've mentioned it on Facebook a couple of times, and now you're hearing about it yet again here, but that's just how excited I am! I've been wanting a grain mill for a very long time. As in, I first started looking around at them about ten years ago when we lived in California. Not wanting … [Read more...]
Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; His love endures forever. Psalm 107:1 It's 4:30 in the morning and I'm wide awake. I move in closer to my newborn who is nestled close to me in my bed and I breathe him in. I feel my heart tingle, skip a beat, maybe, in awe of this tiny person, so beautifully, so skillfully made. I whisper I love you, just soft enough for him to hear … [Read more...]
Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; His love endures forever. Psalm 107:1 We're over the moon and just enjoying our sweet boy so much. God is so good! Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights...James 1:17 And just for fun....Lincoln next to our 10 pound bag of organic flour. We're so thankful … [Read more...]
Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; His love endures forever. Psalm 107:1 I'm so thankful that today I am exactly 40 weeks pregnant! I'm humbled by the fact that I have had the privilege of carrying eight babies to (or very close to) their due dates! What a miracle! I'm thankful that labor and birth are literally within days (or hours....that would be nice.) I'm thankful for our … [Read more...]
Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; His love endures forever. Psalm 107:1 I can't believe another Thursday is here already! Wow - the weeks have been flying by lately! So much has been going on in our family as we make the final preparations for welcoming our next little bundle of joy. And I have so much to be grateful for this week that I don't even know where to … [Read more...]
Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; His love endures forever. Psalm 107:1 Yeah, I know, it probably sounds quirky to say that I'm thankful to be getting organization projects done, but it's true. Getting the boys' rooms, specifically, more in order is a blessing to me for a few reasons. For one, their rooms are just neater and cleaner now that we've been through every … [Read more...]
Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; His love endures forever. Psalm 107:1 It's hard to believe that, today, I am 37 weeks pregnant with our eighth son. There's so much to be thankful for in that one sentence. We've been blessed THAT many times with children from God. I've carried all eight of them to term. They are all healthy. I have been getting my Thankful … [Read more...]
Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; His love endures forever. Psalm 107:1 This past weekend, my husband and I, together with our boys, celebrated 16 years of marriage. We had discussed what to do to celebrate, and seeing how I'm nine months pregnant and all, we knew we wanted to stay close to home and keep it simple this year. Both of us felt like we wanted to include … [Read more...]
