Snuggle please?

Lately my little man has loved to snuggle. Here he just woke up...
Here he's too tired to even sleep. :(
Got to shower another BFF with baby love. Anna, to the right of me, will have sweet Caroline in October! Love having all these new babies in the world.
The "Moby Wrap" was great when Silas was small, but it is just a lot of material to deal with now, so I got a deal on this great little sling that I hope I can always use when I can put Silas on my hip.
In an effort to help our man sleep (now that he wants to be awake and roll), we are now permanent tummy sleepers. This angle looks bad. I promise he isn't on his face, nor is he ever at risk. It's just a weird camera angle. He is a strong little man that loves his Nano and George (also pictured here).
We had a snap of cool weather last week. Pants in July... I couldn't believe it. It was almost time for a fall shout-out, but a little too soon. I think Silas is going to love Fall just like his mama.
I started back to work at a part-time teaching job. It's hard to figure out a routine and balance for the work, but a true blessing and growth builder all the same. I love my sweet middle schoolers, but my friend Caitlyn babysat during my first day and sent me this picture, which just about killed me. I missed him even for a few hours!
I can't believe we've only been in our home for two months, and our precious boy has only been alive for 4.5 months. A lot has occurred in a short amount of time. I would not have been able to handle all these life changes at once without the steady support of my Lord and my Hubby. I'm truly blessed. Who could ask for anything more?

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...
