yesterday Drew drug a chair across the kitchen to the fridge, then climbed up on it with a cup and started filling it up with water. when it got full he asked me to help him move the chair to the sink so he could dump it out and start over. I told him that was wasteful and he should drink the water instead of dumping it out. He took a breath, and then very calmly and matter-of-factly looked at me and said "Ok, here's the deal. You will move the chair to the sink to dump the water and then I will fill it back up at the fridge." Hmm.... if you ever wonder what you sound like I guess all you have to do is listen to your two year old repeat your phrases back to you....

Just read through my journal from when I fell in love with Shaun... so cool to see how I fell in love with Jesus first, and the many, many ways he has transformed me. I literally read through months of my life and watched myself turn from a girl who was conflicted/full of guilt/confused/felt unworthy into a girl who was so incredibly in love with Jesus, walking in His will, consumed by peace, releasing every bit of control of my life into His hands. No matter how hard the season of transition I will be forever grateful for the fact that He never gave up on me and for the blessings that He has poured out on me. I love you Jesus. :)

I love my sister.... :) — with Randi Price.
Give me Jesus. Give me Jesus. You can have all this world. Give me Jesus. Give me the one my soul delights in. Give me the one in whom my hope is securely found.

after 15 consecutive days of sickness in our house, and just when I thought we were getting to the end, Isaiah now has another infection. Thankfully it doesn't seem to be bothering him too much and is already starting to clear up on antibiotics. On a positive note.... I'm so proud of my big boy! At ten months old he is 24 lbs!! Guess that shouldn't be too much of a surprise though... (9 lbs 14 oz @ birth, 13 lbs 2 oz @ 1 month, 19 lbs @ 4 months... plus the boy LOVES to eat!) Way to go Isaiah :)

What a morning. Alone time at the park just me, Jesus and my journal, in my truck like old times. He always meets me. On my way home I drove past a yard sale and ended up coming home with two vintage blue suitcases, a dictionary from 1952 with an awesome cover, and a little yellow anthropology-esque pitcher. (i had just thought i'd like to get some old suitcases for photo shoots.... oh, and did i mention those were free? and the dictionary was 49 cents?) then i made bruschetta with tomatoes from my garden for lunch and had three cute boys sitting around the table with me... thank you Jesus for being so gentle with my heart and giving me so much to be thankful for!

Set a fire down in my soul
That I can't contain and I can't control
Cause I want more of You God
I want more of You God
That I can't contain and I can't control
Cause I want more of You God
I want more of You God

when we hurt, He hurts. And He is good, faithful and true.
All is for your glory
All is for your name
All is for your glory
That in all things you would have the first place
That in all things you would have preeminence

home from two days at the beach, where one boy was being very careful to wash the sand off of his hands and keep himself fairly clean while playing on the beach, and the other boy was EATING sand, literally, by the bucketful. Which explains my morning predicament of changing poopy diapers FULL of sand.... any of you who know my boys can probably guess which one was doing which.... :) How I love
them both :)
