Happy Birthday Roman!

And just like that he's exiting the sweet baby stage and moving quickly into the toddler two's. Roman we cannot imagine life without you. You're equally sweet and sassy-- a stubborn snuggler with a soft-side very much like the other Smith boys. As baby boy three, you may think the rules don't apply to you, but you just love to find your own path. We adore you as much as you adore the outdoors, animals, and a good snack. You are a perfect mix of your two big brothers, and you love being one now too! Never forget what a gift you are to us. Happy 2nd birthday boo boo!  We love you!

Big boy requested strawberries "on top" of his cupcakes, and I think he like the strawberry more than the cake!



But Levi loved the icing best

This kid didn't discriminate!

And this big boy is almost ready for solids!

An aquarium birthday trip!









Stop growing so fast!!! :D

Now we just need to try to get Big Ro out of the baby bed so little brother can  go in it! Roman love his crib though, so I'm not complaining... yet.

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...

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...
