Real Life

Silas seems to have some issues with the cold texture of ice cream. What a crazy kid!

He has no issues with the texture of applesauce and cottage cheese (anyone who knows me probably knows that Silas developed this love when he was in the womb!)

We got my family piano last week! It's a little out of tune, but I think he's going to be a natural.

Every time Silas has to wait for me to warm up his dinner this happens. It's like he's saying "WHY? Why do we have to learn patience in life?!"

"Please!  Can I please just have what I want when I want it!?"

" I don't understand this waiting. And why are you taking my picture right now!?"

"I can't believe the 60 seconds isn't up yet! I can't take it anymore!"

Every so often it's fun to eat dinner under a homemade tent and watch a little TV

No matter how big we get, the fetal position still provides comfort.

Silas' first passport pic was "too smilely." The guy said he couldn't squint. So instead Silas looks like a baby terrorist, but I'm pretty pumped that we will be heading to Spain in a month!

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...
