Milestones

The two boys in my life hit some important milestones last week.... I feel like I should do something for the first time... hmmmmm..... I can pick up objects with my toes while holding a heavy baby, talking on the phone, and folding laundry. Does that count?
Silas can sit up in his stroller now. (I think he was ready a while ago, but I just loved looking at him when I ran. He pushed me to keep going!)
All he needs is a tag or something to chew, and he's good to go. He LOVES looking at all the trees and leaves blowing. I wonder where he gets that from?
Great way to keep him occupied while I finish drying my hair.
It's funny though, he kind of just pets his animals when they are all together like this. It's like he's at the zoo and he sees an "animals will bite" sign.
We love our Thursday sitter!  Thanks for coming over to play Evie and Miss Caitlyn.
Matthew turned 30 on Halloween. He said he felt old, as we stayed home and passed out candy. Who wouldn't want to do that on their birthday?
I think this was his favorite thing from his milestone birthday.
We had a little GA/FL birthday party. It was the most guests our house has seen yet. Go Dawgs!
Everyone kept asking what I was dressing up Silas as for Halloween. I guess I'm a bad mom cause I just put him in his Trick or Treat and Pumpkin "onsies". I mean I already put him in an actual pumpkin. Doesn't that count?
He didn't seem to mind. Although I'm sure I'll hear about it when he's a teenager... "geez mom you are so lazy, why didn't you dress me up for Halloween?" Cause I can't sew! I stink.

Happy 30th Matthew. I love you!  Happy first Halloween Silas.  I love you!  Happy Fall everyone! I love it!

Break from the blog

As March begins, often we hope for a great thaw in our land. Now Georgia certainly doesn't have any icy soil that needs warming, but our yearning for more light and fresh newness to keep us from numbing appears universal. I have written on this blog for ten years now. From singleness to newlywed to mama of four sickly, but now active, growing boys. It's been a place for me to purge, process, and pray through some of life's biggest changes and challenges. It's also helped me keep distant family and friends informed, but I've felt for some time it's come to an appropriate place for pause. I know that I have many more mountains and valleys to travel if the Lord wills it, and many more personal lessons that I'd love to share and reread to my kiddos one day (and if anyone wants to organize and compile this little landscape into a memoir, please be my guest), but I do not ever want to assume a posture of numbness as it relates to our regular routines. I re...

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
