LUCA BLAIR SMITH


The last picture I will probably ever take with a watermelon for a belly.

We welcomed Luca Blair Smith on June 27, 2018.
6 lbs 13 oz, thankful he was strong even with making his own double knotted cord!

Our first baby to avoid the NICU, Luca our Italian/Spanish  love got a 9.9 out of 10 on the Apgar score.
To give you a reference, little Levi got a 2 at birth. 

Couldn't be happier!

We were so thankful to add another boy despite what people may guess. It's all we know now, and all we love!

Proud papa, a great dad to raise godly men!

I mean... 


Sweet time together in the same room at birth. I've never experienced anything like it.
I'm so accustomed to leaving the hospital without my baby that it felt like an utter gift to have everything happen so easily. Thank you Lord!


My boys were excited to come visit!

Time to leave the peaceful hospital and enter the loud Smith home. 

Instead of jealousy like I thought, these boys are fighting over playing with baby Luca. 

Who wouldn't?


Special movie night to make the transition a little easier. 

Incredibly thankful for these boys entrusted into our care for a short time.

From top to bottom, left to right, each of my boys was perfectly designed, not by me, but given to me for a time.
"Children are a heritage from the Lord,
    offspring a reward from him.
Like arrows in the hands of a warrior
    are children born in one’s youth.
Blessed is the man
    whose quiver is full of them." Psalm 127:3-5


Welcome to the world Luca Blair Smith! 
We love you!

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
