Snuggle please?

Lately my little man has loved to snuggle. Here he just woke up...
Here he's too tired to even sleep. :(
Got to shower another BFF with baby love. Anna, to the right of me, will have sweet Caroline in October! Love having all these new babies in the world.
The "Moby Wrap" was great when Silas was small, but it is just a lot of material to deal with now, so I got a deal on this great little sling that I hope I can always use when I can put Silas on my hip.
In an effort to help our man sleep (now that he wants to be awake and roll), we are now permanent tummy sleepers. This angle looks bad. I promise he isn't on his face, nor is he ever at risk. It's just a weird camera angle. He is a strong little man that loves his Nano and George (also pictured here).
We had a snap of cool weather last week. Pants in July... I couldn't believe it. It was almost time for a fall shout-out, but a little too soon. I think Silas is going to love Fall just like his mama.
I started back to work at a part-time teaching job. It's hard to figure out a routine and balance for the work, but a true blessing and growth builder all the same. I love my sweet middle schoolers, but my friend Caitlyn babysat during my first day and sent me this picture, which just about killed me. I missed him even for a few hours!
I can't believe we've only been in our home for two months, and our precious boy has only been alive for 4.5 months. A lot has occurred in a short amount of time. I would not have been able to handle all these life changes at once without the steady support of my Lord and my Hubby. I'm truly blessed. Who could ask for anything more?

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...

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...

A little color

School has officially started for me, and my teachable teenagers will be booming into my room in two days! I can't wait to shape those minds of our future! :)   However, my summer projects are a great reminder of the joyful color and peace I had for two months. :) I found this great idea on Pinterest and thought it would add a great accent color to any room in my home! I still have to put it all together, but here's what the finished product will look like with a little more subtle turquoise: I have it all painted and ready to be assembled!  More pics upon completion! (may be quite a while though now that school is in session... hope you weren't holding your breath.) ~CC
