Honeymoon

After a big life-changing event, it's nice to have a little honeymoon to rest and recuperate. We had some delayed honeymoons with all of our children except non-NICU number four. Little Luca, despite normal middle-night feeds, got to come right home and honeymoon.
Now I know all babies are different, but for my kids it seems that the first couple months are a "honeymoon phase" where they may cry but its just because of standard baby woes. Once they hit around three months though, they'll have more difficulty adjusting to life outside the womb. Even if I may be a little sleepier, God seems to give me a glossy, slap-happy outlook on life after a new baby joins our family. However, don't be too impressed if you see me out with all my boys alone because as it says in Proverbs, "Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring" (27:1). Tomorrow may bring a new basket of hard, so I must simply trust God's grace will be sufficient for that day. In the lazy hazy days of our current honeymoon, I will thank God for however long this phase may last.

Likewise, Little Levi is having a great summer and making slight improvements in all areas, but that doesn't mean we won't have potential issues with his developmental progress in the near future. For now, enjoy this side by side comparison from age 2 to 3 with his verbal improvements...


I am so proud of you Levi! Even if mommy is tough on you, it's all because I know how smart you are, and I know you are so strong and capable. I love you Levi Joe!

Sometimes it's these two buddies dreaming about their Ninja-daddy strength

And these two are becoming fast friends too!

But sometimes these two match up...

And my "twins" match up a lot too. 


Sweet Ro Ro thinks these slippers = dancing shoes.

They can't wait for Luca to dance along side of them.

Thank you for coming home and honeymooning with us little man! We adore you!

"His legs flail about as if independent from his body!"

If you are a "Friends" watcher as I have been known to be, you will appreciate that quote. I am getting to see the Chandler Bing's greatest fear--Michael Flatley and the "Lord of the Dance" performance. I am so excited! I've seen a lot of different types of performances in my lifetime (even the gravely strange or soberly artistic modern dance shows), but I've never seen an Irish Riverdance! My mom got tickets for us back in October for my birthday. She is so astute and thoughtful! In case you aren't familiar with "Lord of the Dance." Here is what Wikipedia has to say about Mr. Flately's Dance: "Lord of the Dance is an Irish musical and dance production that was created, choreographed, and produced by Irish-American dancer Michael Flatley, who also took a starring role. Michael Flatley found his first fame starring in Riverdance, but he left the show in 1995 before its debut in London after a disagreement over creative control. F

When you smile...

The whole world smiles! This was his very first "conscious smile" Who says you can't dress up little boys for fun too? Silas enjoyed sleeping at the lake instead of fishing or swimming. Anyone surprised? Our newest pastime consists of singing to Silas until he shows us his new array of smiles. Matthew discovered this newest ability when he began singing a classical ballad... I won't embarrass him by naming the lyrics. It doesn't matter how tired you are, this will make everything better! I mean come on. Are you still having a bad day? Did that make it better yet!? Had my  first few outing without the little man to go to coffee, dance, and this beautiful woman's wedding shower. Love you Christi! Thanks to my old roomie for some over-sized coffee mugs to start my day right. A cup of joe and the Word make life worth living. This is his favorite gesture.  I think he's solving the world's problems. That a boy Silas. I knew

The CubBuster's still got it!

Yes that's right, the Atlanta Braves 2010 opening season began against the infamous Chicago Cubs. My co-worker, office-mate, and dear friend Peter Collman is a baseball (well I guess all sports) fanatic, and knew that to start the season right, he needed to invite the CubBuster to be sure the Braves started the season with a win! The second game of the season started off slow with a 1-0 lead for the Braves, but at the beginning of the 8th, Atlanta was losing to Chicago 2-1. Although others may be slightly tense at this predicament, I was calm and collected knowing I possessed a special gift of busting up on a certain kind of cub. Thank goodness I've still got it (and I guess Chipper still has it too!). Jones hit a two-run homer in the eighth inning and held off the Cubs for a 3-2 win! The CubBuster lives on! Thanks Pete for a fun night! You can see other pics from Turner Field on my Pictures page... ~THE CubBuster
