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.

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...

Joy in Pain

There is pain in this world. It comes in different forms. Physical pain, emotional pain, frustrating pain, confused pain, displaced pain, short-lived pain, numbing pain, excruciating pain, sincere pain, unexpected pain. Yet, through it all, there is joy. How? Where? Why is there joy in a world filled with such pain? Is is true joy? Is it fabricated or medicated joy? Is it temporary joy or will it fade with the next whisper of pain? No. I have felt a joy that far outweighs my pain. It's a joy that doesn't make sense mixing with a pain that culminates in reality. It's a joy that couldn't be concocted by even the most elaborate of artists. As I've experienced some of the most intense physical pain during some of the most intense emotional pain, I have noticed and experienced some of the purest forms of joy and peace that cannot be watered down by logic. We lost our second child this week. At just seven weeks old, our precious baby gets to escape a world o...
