Photo Dump...

Poor Silas is teething nice and early and making our lives nice and sleepless. But who could be made at this sweet teething face while we walk.
The difficult life of a mommy puts her at the end of herself, and she must learn to trust in God beyond herself. When Silas continued to wake from his nap, I tried a little something different one day and it worked- friends. Don't we all want them anyway?
Congrats to Christi and Josh! We loved getting to see your lives unite!
So good to see Alyssa and T. Silas loved all the beautiful women at the wedding!
Silas met his potential girlfriend. Jewel wasn't so sure she wanted to date a younger man though. So great that Silas will have so many "aunts."
Great first family photo!
Wanted to see if he could sit up without a blanket, but alas.... "no mommy I'm not strong enough yet!"
Purchased our first rug, and Silas approves I think.
Silas just loves cell phones and mirrors. What would we do without such them?
With a collar and crossed hands he couldn't be more proper. Golf clap?
I spent a whole weekend away from Silas at my BFF's bachelorette, and as nice as it was to have a break, I ached to get back to my boys. Silas woke up after I got home and snuggled with me for a while. It was amazing!
I was sent this pic while I was in Nashville. I think my boys had too much fun without me.
Now four months, Silas got the okay from the doc to have some snuggling buddies in bed with him. He loves his George.
After taking on a part-time teaching job, things have been crazy and this stage in Silas' development is a tough one, but Matthew and I continue to feel unbelievably blessed that God continues to grow us along this new adventure. He gives us the strength we need when we lack rest, and He provides for always.

Hard waves

Heartache and hard times seem to come like heat: in waves. Right now, I feel I have escaped the wave. I feel a sense of respite and relief. My world doesn't seem to be hanging in the balance of the next uncertainty. However, I feel the wave around me in the lives of others. It feels as if I'm sitting in the middle of my sweet autumn breeze while I'm hearing story after story of diagnosis, loss, and turmoil. Once upon a time, I would anxiously pray and wonder when my time of turmoil would next hit, but I've had my share of storms since then. Now I can praise God in good times, knowing the hard will come again. Instead of living in fear, I feel assurance that I will again experience respite and joy, and one day all my sorrows will cease when I leave this body. There's no sense in trying to avoid waves; if you have someone bigger, who created the oceans, then you can live at a level of ease no matter your circumstances. When I hear of these hurts, my heart hurts too, b...

Confessions

I have had so many people thank me for my honesty on this blog lately. I haven't really thought about my level of truthfulness until those remarks of gratitude were given. I think I naturally wear my heart on my sleeve, and thanks to my upbringing, I often hear the term TMI, which just means I'm obviously not scared to express myself. However, I also believe that when you are going through something difficult, it's much easier to be raw and real in front of others, even complete strangers. Often times, it is these "real" moments that bridge the gap between hearts and allow us to live truth. I must confess, this marathon is really all over the place. It's like I hit mile 7, and I can't believe I'm only at mile 7! This past weekend, I felt covered in prayer, peace, and love. Matthew and I enjoyed a much needed date night, our little Levi enjoyed a quiet and restful weekend, and our big boy had a blast at our neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt.  I really ju...

Influenced

influence....... influenced. The latter word signifies a condition where someone else has an effect on your life. Taking off one little letter seems to insight a condition where you are the one acting upon the lives of others. I wish I could claim that I am rarely influenced by the opinions of others, but sadly that is not the case. If it does not go against my beliefs, principles, or well-being, I am one of those people that can easily jump on a bandwagon if presented with the material in an intelligent and legitimate manner. For that reason, I stay away from most things that can have a potential momentary or negative influence on my life. Unfortunately when it comes to little Levi, there are many different people taking care of him, and there are many different opinions regarding his current and future condition. For some reason, since the day Levi was born though, I have not searched the internet for a single thing regarding his care or condition. I believe God has protected me fro...
