MAY & JUNE

-


Little Hallie (sounds like Sally) was one month old back on June 1, 2017. We have had to make some major adjustments to our family schedule since baby number three came along. We definitely find ourselves exhausted and a bit overwhelmed but you know what, God is good! I look back at these pictures and I'm reminded of all the daily grace that the Lord has shown to us. When we brought Hallie home, and for the months following, we were so blessed by hugs, meals, gifts, and quality time with friends and family. God is so amazing! I see so many sweet faces of friends and family who came by to give Hallie snuggles and brought us meals. I'm humbled when I think of the privilege we have to a part of such a living body of believers who are literally the hands and feet of Jesus. 

Our summer was filled with so many emotions, dirty diapers, nursing sessions, trips to the pool, trips to the potty, and tantrums. I don't know how we survived without Blake! He is just an incredible father and husband and I'm just the luckiest gal to have him. So, thank you Blake! Haha! 

Here's some memories... 


All my little babies at one month :)











Jude and LK love to pick flowers for me. Melts my heart.

Laurie's love is some kind of fierce!! haha!





I'm so glad they love cats :)

we definitely have to keep an eye out for Hallie when LK is around. this is why!

I think we went to the pool just about every day! Hallie just love snoozing in the heat. 


Such a treat to see Angela who came all the way from Texas. We were friends back in Tennessee :)







Our sweet friends, the Berans moved over the summer. We definitely miss you guys! :(














Jude's teacher and our neighbor's sister-in-law. God is so good to let us have you in our life!


Blake has become quite the chef






A much needed boy's trip. First time canoeing for Jude!



Blake's pancake skills are just incredible :)

These beautiful girls have hearts of gold. My best friend, Ashley and her family took a family mission trip to Haiti.

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
