The 1984 National League Championship Series was played between the San Diego Padres and the Chicago Cubs. San Diego won the series three games to two to advance to the World Series. The 1984 NLCS was the first postseason series EVER for the Padres since the franchise's beginning in 1969. Because Katie Ann Blair arrived in the world in the middle of the series, her father hence forth referred to her as Katie Cub Buster.

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!
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...
