A New Year with Friends

We are a bit into 2013, but must post on the built-up NYE. It was actually a wonderful night. We said goodbye to our sweet Texas family and then headed to a fun dinner and somewhat random, might I say, ringing of the new year with two of my best friends who were in town. I'm telling you: the 40-50 crowd somehow become the party crowd. We were certainly outmatched.

I love when Easton just runs up and hugs you. He is too sweet. And precious Tanner is starting to make that eye contact that melts your heart.
Easton's rocking out to some cool tunes. He's a cool dude!
The Harvey's were here and so were Lindsey and her beau. It was SO great to see them all!
I can't help but think the one on the far right is the cutest! ;)
I love my girls!
Pink and James are moving back to the ATL!  So excited!!!
It's wonderful to see how much Kevin seems to adore sweet Lindsey. They are too cute.
Baby Smith helps us ring in the new Year! I can't believe our family is growing in 2013! We are so blessed!
I hope that you are starting off the new year with gratitude and joy. We never know when it is our last, so instead of silly resolutions, why not try to live everyday as if it's our last!?

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...

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...
