Showering Jude

-

Some beautiful custom blocks that Granna got for us!
My cup runneth over! We had the most wonderful family shower this weekend!! My mom and sisters Amy, Lea Ann, and Jill threw us a shower for baby Jude on Saturday. I'm sad that my Hawaii sister didn't get to join us but she was there in spirit! This shower was PERFECT! It was such a sweet time of fellowship that we shared together as we prepare for our little man! Not only did we receive so many amazing gifts, we were able to pray together, share memories, stories, and many laughs! We all gathered at my sister's house just down the road in Hendersonville! My sister Amy worked particularly hard, it was just amazing! Thank you everyone for your generosity and love!

Jude's Little Blue Truck Party

-

Little Blue Truck Almost every day, Jude enjoys the rhythm and rhymes of a particular book about a little blue truck. This truck and a few adorably illustrated farm animals help a mean old dump truck ( HOOOONK ) learn a valuable lesson about making friends. We all need friends and the right kind; that is for certain. He can finish almost any phrase, make all the animal sounds, and turn each page as we snuggle together. We treasure those moments and hearing his animated "beep, beep, beep!" Since this little dude has such an attachment to the "Little Blue Truck" by Alice Shertle, we decided that it would be the perfect theme for his second birthday party. I tried not to go over-the-top since Jude could care less about all the matchy decorations. I get it. However, just as I thought, he LOVED the blue truck on his cake! I'm so glad his gaze stopped on the cake for two seconds to notice it... he wouldn't quite settle down until that truck was on th

What to Think

Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice.   Let your reasonableness be known to everyone.  The Lord is at hand;   do not be anxious about anything,  but in everything by prayer and supplication  with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.   And  the peace of God,  which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.   What you have learned and  received and heard and seen  in me—practice these things, and  the God of peace will be with you. ( Philippians 4:4-9, ESV) If there's one thing I find myself dwelling on lately, it's when will I have a normal day? There's something about predictability that is comforting. Every day after lunch I have to have some coffee... and

Fall Afresh On Me

Fall Decor At Our Tennessee Home I apologize in advance for this crazy and loaded blog post. I tried blogging about one topic and then it just exploded. So, enjoy! Fall Afresh? What does that mean? It happens to be the lyric of one of my favorite songs lately.  If you haven't heard of Bethel Music or Jeremy Riddle, here's a song that just might bless you. I love the lyrics! "Spirit of the living God, come fall afresh on me, come wake me from my sleep. Burn through the caverns of my soul, pour in me to overflow." That is my prayer!! I grew up singing hymns mostly so I knew this song came from this hymn , just in case you were unaware!   I've been thinking a lot about seasons, particularly fall since it's my first fall away from home. This song just so happens to have the word fall in it so I just had to share it with you!  I'm so thankful for the meaningful relationships we had in Tennessee. One special lady even surprised me just yesterday by
