Everyday Moments



Soaking up all the little moments and treasuring each and everyone of them. Lollipops in the bathtub. Playing peekaboo. Putting on googles and going under. Water everywhere. Bath time is a favorite pastime at our house especially in the winter! Seriously they ask to go swimming, and will stay in for over an hour. Don't tell anyone, but most of the time I don't even bath them. It's just another play area these days. 







 Going to take time to document these everyday moments by breaking out my real camera for a few minutes every week. Here lately I have felt like I need to be prepared, have everyone matching, and the perfect weather to head out to take nice posed photos of the kids. But its the little things that I really don't want to forget. With our recent break from Facebook, we are refocusing our priorities on things that matter. So wiping the dust off my camera and blog and going to start capturing our real memories!







 Today was a boy bath while Eden was still asleep. The lollipops were an added bonus! (I always like to let them eat the messy snacks in the tub….we do popsicles in there a lot too!)









I love how these bothers share a great friendship already!








And once the lollipop was gone, tears started flowing. No pictures needed to remember that!

Winter: cold, dark, long, dreary, depressing, dead. That pretty much sums up my feelings of winter being a Florida girl.  I hate winter.

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.
