Curious Cousins

Silas has a fascination with Daddy's golf stuff..... I'm sure that's not by chance. Just wait till your birthday buddy. You gotta surprise coming your way!

We are so grateful for our wonderful sitter, and my dear friend, Caitlyn whom Si gets to play with every Thursday.

Caitlyn's little angel Evie loves showing Silas the ropes. Here's how you put a flower in your hair Silas. (sorry daddy!)

Silas' first birthday is next week. He was quite excited when his party stuff arrived. He loves Curious George!

I think the plates and napkins will be sufficient gifts for his birthday this year. It's always the simple stuff.

We just got back from visiting my nephews in Dallas. I think Easton is telling his mommy that a real police officer would drive on the road, not the sidewalk. Duh!

Silas couldn't wait to pull some people over in Dallas!

Even with his first ear infection before we left, Silas did a great job with the busy week and played well with his cousins.

My sister is such a great mom and works so hard that I wanted to try and pamper her while I was there. Our feast after putting all three boys to bed.

Thanks for sharing your toys Easton and Tanner! You guys really have some cool wheels!

I don't know how moms of twins do it. Tanner and Silas are so close in age that it was tough to keep them both from wanting the same mode of transportation at the same time. 

Even more tough to get them all to smile at the same time. Cheer up Tan! *Mommy tip* If you have more than one child, always have enough of the same toy for each to enjoy. Unless they are old enough to understand the concept of sharing.
I was given a tip for the first birthday: let your child try some chocolate or whatever you're serving the day of his birthday to make sure he doesn't throw up at his own party.
Couldn't pick up big enough bits so he went straight to the source.
I think he liked his first cupcake. We are ready to party now!

    Katie, Thanks for posting these precious pictures of my grandsons. I love to see them all together ... does Tanner ever smile? It looks like Easton and Silas had a smile-off competition (does that mean Silas will be just like Easton?)

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

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...

Adoption

Levi's First package. A kit for us to use in case his G-tube comes out.... hmmm I think he'd rather have some new socks, and I'm pretty sure we'll just take him to the doctor for that procedure. Sweet boy sleeping soundly at CHOA. Got it put up in his new changing station/closet. The sign was hung, the house was cleaned, and I started packing his clothes at Scottish Rite to bring him home! Then his nurse walked in and said, "So..... he didn't have a very good night. The doctor wanted to talk to you because I don't think he's going to let him go home today." I doubt the sweet nurse new that she had just taken my insides and jarred them to pieces. We've been praying for God to bring Levi home in His perfect timing, so I had to assume that it just wasn't perfect yet. Although, the longer we wait to bring our baby home, the harder it feels like it will be when he gets here. Matthew and I haven't seriously talked about adopti...
