Pool & Popsicles


I feel like the pool and popsicles are going to be a reoccurring thing this summer. I know that I just posted a ton of photos of Jude in the pool, but I couldn't help myself to share these as well! 

The other day, we added a little twist to pool time: we put the slide in the pool as well!


Jude thought this was the greatest thing ever! I'm not sure we are ever going to be able to take it back out! He would get to the top of the slide and count "two, two, two, go!" (His version of one, two, three, go!) Oh Jude, what are we going to do with you?










 





 



After so much fun, it was time for a break. I introduced him to popcilses and they are now one of his new favorite snacks. I just hate that they are so messy!










Sweet Eden was having fun too! Thank goodness she still loves her bumbo seat! I think she would be content to sit in it all day long as Jude was in her sight!

This little six month old is full of facial expressions:




 

 

One hand in...
Two hands in...
Better yet, I think I will have my paci!

What a fun afternoon we had! I know Jude will be sad that it is raining outside today. No pool for him when he wakes up! I hope everyone enjoyed their holiday weekend!

Winter

Image
Winter: cold, dark, long, dreary, depressing, dead. That pretty much sums up my feelings of winter being a Florida girl.  I hate winter. Everything is dead; the grass, the trees (at least the leaves on the trees), the flowers and this winter was no different. It started out just like stated above and then turned into a blizzard. Things were happening and I didn't understand why. My life had entered what seemed to be an eternal winter state. But I had forgotten that winter was only a season and that this wasn't going to last forever. There was no spring in sight for me. Thankfully God swept in the way he does and gently reminded me that this is all part of his plan. He spoke the world into existence, he designed the seasons, and He did it all for His glory. God wanted to teach me something else this winter. He wanted to show me that it's all about Him.  You see, we did have a long cold winter here in NC and right when we thought it was almost over, we were hit ...

Turning My Grief into Gratitude

To give you the quick recap on my life in the past five years: I moved to North Carolina for college, met and married Michael, and wanted to start a family. After this, things went quickly from really good, to really bad. I was able to get pregnant right away. I lost the baby . I was able to get pregnant again the very next month. Again I lost the baby . Even though a year has gone by, typing the words, I lost the baby, makes me want to vomit. Admitting that I now have two children that have died seems unreal. At the time, I felt like I had to regain composure quickly. I was teaching sixth grade and my life seemed like it was moving on a rollercoaster. But now that I am a stay at home mom, I feel like I think about them more often. What would they have looked like? Were they a boy or a girl? Would I have had twins? And I am left with no answers. It seems like after over a year of grieving, God has finally brought light to this area in my life. Yes, I lost two pregnancies and that...

Being Completely Satisfied

As I reflect on the past and even examine my life now, I often find that I become consumed with whatever is going on in my life at that time. I will focus all of my thoughts and attention to this matter until it is resolved. To give you a few examples, at one point in my life, all I wanted was to be out of my parents house, then it was that I just waned to graduate high school, next I wanted to graduate college, after that I could not wait to get engaged, that turned into I couldn't wait to get married, then if I could just have children everything would be fine. I thought all of these were life and death matters at that time. If I could only get that 'one' thing in my life, I would be happy and satisfied. But when I lie awake at night for hours, not able to sleep because I am thinking about what I want my future house to be like, something is wrong . The fact is that when I get that 'one' thing, something else will soon repl...
