Coffee CubBuster

I'm sure you'll here that line multiple times this season. But FINALLY my favorite season has officially arrived (last Sunday). I love the cool crisp mornings and nippy nights. Every cup of coffee tastes better this time of year. Especially since we can order a PSL anytime we want! There's just something about this time of year that gets my blood flowing, my hands baking, and my heart soaring!  It's like a special kiss from the angels wrapped in a burlap bow and sent snail mail just for me to enjoy for several months. I need to get a mantle up above our fireplace so I can decorate it with white pumpkins and twine. I guess the fact that we have our own fireplace should suffice this year.

Oh and don't forget to enjoy that pumpkin spice something. It's perfect this time of year. I'...

The reason he took the census was to feel confident and secure in the men he had protecting him and his people, instead of trusting in God's protection and finding security in Him alone. My revelation happened here. It probably seems strange, and for that I can only point to God who opened my eyes. I consistently find myself confident and proud when I have a son who sleeps well. Since Silas was sleeping through the nigh...

Vacation to see family with Silas = Less sleep  Vacation to see family with Silas = Working out without a stroller Vacation to see family with Silas = Diaper blow outs in the car Vacation to see family with Silas = Priceless Who cares about sleep when you have these boys in your life? Silas hanging with grandpa Little second-cousin Camille didn't want Silas to get all the attention The three sisters were fighting over these precious babes. That's true love. Thank you Dana for the Activity Gym. Silas is just starting to need a stand-up activity! Daddy are you losing some hair like me? One of my favorite things is watching Silas spit "hair gel" into Matthew's hair. It's priceless every time. Silas loved his grandma. I realized I never take pictures with my little man, so when attempting to do so, he stuck his tongue out at the idea. Silas loved having his daddy around all week. It's almost time to start soli...
