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

they're LOVING The Sound of Music
So glad that Mimi and Pop came to visit!















It was also amazing to see my sister Lea Ann, Michael, Jackson, Parker, and Mallory and our friends Katie and Jeremy!

Hallie' s first time at church
My first day with all three alone...



"don't  you worry bout' a thiiiiiiing..." was our song for the summer from the movie, "Sing"

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...

Grief, Glory, and Guacamole

Florida Herrons May, 2018 To my friends who have shared this little blog with me over the past ten years, thank you!   There's a part of me that has been avoiding writing lately because I didn't know where to start. My heart has been heavy this year. Moments where you stop and pray ;  But you, O LORD, are a shield about me, my glory, and the lifter of my head. (ESV Psalm 3:3) So, as I begin to blog again I feel the need to clarify something; transparency is not my goal here. I hesitate to focus on simply being transparent because it's important for me not to shortchange the TRUTH of God's word and lordship over my life. Another head-nodding in affirmation is nice but I need Jesus. I need the power of His word.  My aim is to glorify the Lord and tell of His faithfulness. After all, " For  we are his workmanship,  created in Christ Jesus  for good works,  which God prepared beforehand,  that we should walk in them . (ESV Ephes...

Let the nesting begin! We have been so thrilled to be able to start putting the baby room together! Thanks to Blake's workmanship and our wonderful Leigh Ann and Lonas, we now have an assembled crib and changing table for little baby boy!  little kitty is not allowed in baby's room i was a super tool holder! the changing table was a lot harder to assemble than the crib! Thanks to the wonderful world of Pinterest I have been able to successfully organize many creative ideas for our little baby boy nursery!! I definitely do not want to get carried away but I LOVE making little creative projects.   Our crib!! Room idea #1 our crib :) also, we are probably going to paint the nursery this color! I'll be hanging some lanterns too! We are SO thankful that Blake's amazing momma,"Granna," will be making the baby bedding for us! It makes me kind of sad that sewing is a dying art but it's so cool that we'll have a li...
