To be honest I haven't had the desire, and then I gave up social media for lent and the blog was neglected even more. </div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">But today was a challenging day, so I thought I was blog and share some of the joys going on here lately.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I'm in no way going to try to catch up - it's too late for that. </span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">So here's a phone dump to reflect a glimmer of what's been going on with us lately.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">My little boy is growing up before my very eyes. He's leaving some of his baby characteristics behind and is becoming quit the handsome toddler. He'll be ONE next month. My heart hurts and feels joy whenever I think about it.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I am so lucky to call him my son. He's so full intense emotions - and thankfully he is usually full of joy.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Even at the hospital.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">He's a fabulous eater, and for that I could not be more thankful. I hear too many horror stories about picky kids - I am terrified that one day he will refuse veggies and never turn back. But for today we are good and he will eat just about anything I put in front of him. Also, we've moved past baby food (woo hoo) and he loves to feed himself.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDd_Hgox8lGcDhvJTOBjLFuLCxml9dixNSh8W3oNk4DBJQb8towReXaufQUW85fqHHRbltO3uQNhKwVrtfGea3_mYaGUURXspXvNL2N4xR9N5pJQgNQ_4jNJ5vmGSncyGsB5RdSP6DqEOh/s1600/-6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDd_Hgox8lGcDhvJTOBjLFuLCxml9dixNSh8W3oNk4DBJQb8towReXaufQUW85fqHHRbltO3uQNhKwVrtfGea3_mYaGUURXspXvNL2N4xR9N5pJQgNQ_4jNJ5vmGSncyGsB5RdSP6DqEOh/s640/-6.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">He plays hard. Sometimes a little too hard and I have to remind him that it isn't nice to smack your mom in the face.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Other news with our family ...</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">We're currently half way through our training classes to become foster parents. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8VukaKHb2k9d14C0srKXf-kiFE6RifexZxMzPT0iYsmzhbzNl_esnC4_rYCLGu7AgvkWGBprX8ohyphenhyphenXN3AHxPKQqOE7vFRMMCgfplQeGHsAAyVq40ZXLzBEOCqSl2pLkjI2tQ7AqwVSNe8/s1600/-8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8VukaKHb2k9d14C0srKXf-kiFE6RifexZxMzPT0iYsmzhbzNl_esnC4_rYCLGu7AgvkWGBprX8ohyphenhyphenXN3AHxPKQqOE7vFRMMCgfplQeGHsAAyVq40ZXLzBEOCqSl2pLkjI2tQ7AqwVSNe8/s640/-8.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I know I didn't blog about this news either ... so there it is ... Eric and I are becoming foster parents.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">It's a call God has placed on our hearts several years ago. A lot of the pieces have been coming together lately, and it's amazing to see how God has prepared our hearts and minds for this journey.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">We're anticipating welcoming 1 or 2 children into our home beginning in June (that's when all of our classes and paperwork will be finalized). </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">So needless to say it will probably be a crazy summer in this house. </span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;">Any and all prayer is welcome.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Seriously, I pray and ask God to prepare me. Prepare Eric. Prepare little Parker. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">But I honestly don't even know what that preparation looks like - but I trust that he is going it.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">A few other things ...</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Eric is still in school to become a school guidance counselor. I have never been more proud of him or trusted his leadership more. Although grad school has been a challenge for our family, and we miss him many nights ... I know it will pay off one day!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Lately, I've had a renewed passion for my health. I think it may have had something to do with watching Food Inc. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I've been more disciplined on eating real food - and trying to get in at least 5 fruits and veggies each day. I can honestly say I feel better health wise and in my own skin. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">A lot of my renewed interest in health was spurred on by little P himself. I knew it was only a matter of time before he realized that he was eating veggies and mom and dad were eating pizza. And since I am adamant on him eating a healthy and full diet - I figured it was about time that mom did too.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">It's amazing how kids are live in accountability. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Lastly, I'm currently reading - One Thousand Gifts. It's an amazing book and I would recommend it to anyone. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">It's eye opening and challenging in so many ways. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">It was a gift from a friend and it came at the perfect time, as I am going through a lot of challenges and questions at work. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I am so slow, but my heart is to fill my life with the discipline of thanksgiving/</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I want to live the full life.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I am learning.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">But I know that pretty much everyone feels that way, and I don't want that to get in the way of capturing growth and changes in our family.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I know that these days are going to go by so fast ... and someday they will be hard to remember. I feel like Parker is already becoming a little boy before my very eyes ... and I want to be able to use this blog to look back and remember...</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">So ... without anymore delay ... here are Parker's 6 month photos.</span><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">But currently, we live in a cape cod style home with no front porch ... womp womp.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">So needless to say, when I found this picture I was blown away.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Maybe my dreams of a big front porch can come true someday :)</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Full of excitement, I immediately showed the picture to Eric </span>...</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">bad idea.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Eric hates projects ... especially the idea of big projects like this one.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Anyways, I was super excited and showed him the picture. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I rambled on about my dreams of a front porch and how this house was "just like ours, but they had a porch" ... and I proceeded to tell him how "easy" it would be to add on a porch like this. bahaha </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">He followed up with conversation my telling me that the house in the picture is nothing like our house and went on to elaborate on how much it would cost to add on a porch.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">So much for my excitement :(</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">So I thought I would share with you all ... because anyone who reads blogs loves to dream ... and loves a good project!</span></div>Rachelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16646787782436907063noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3193441838743421895.post-71023124360344874172011-10-14T07:31:00.000-05:002011-10-14T07:31:53.383-05:00balance<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">This print is pretty much the story of my life </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I am in the love with every detail. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">My house is brick, but if I were going to paint the brick ... I think I'd choose this color scheme.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I was looking back in my phone the other day and I found the picture above. I've also watched the video of Edie's new home too many times.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The two combined have got me thinking.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I always felt pretty certain that my dream was to live in a big old house someday. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I love the history and character that old homes carry ... like the one above.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">A lot of the architectural details of an old home cannot be replicated.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">However, after watching Edie's video ... I feel strangely drawn to the dream of building a new home.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">(obviously neither of these are a reality for us anytime soon ... but I can dream right?)</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I cannot even imagine getting the freedom of picking out every detail in a new home.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Everything from cabinets to countertops to doors to doorknobs, to how wide you want the hard wood flooring to be. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Not to mention all the lighting options.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I don't know if I would love it, or if it would totally stress me out. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">But having EVERYTHING brand new would be AMAZING!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Everything would be so clean ... for a little while at least.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">However, I think that it would feel cleaner for longer. New stuff just seems cleaner than old stuff. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">What about you all ... for your dream home ... would you go with a built to yourself ... or an old charmer in need of personal touches?</span></div>Rachelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16646787782436907063noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3193441838743421895.post-31023191951974773202011-10-10T08:00:00.002-05:002011-10-10T08:04:47.706-05:00I'm really excited about today's post<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Hello Boggers :)</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Hope you all had a fabulous weekend. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Eric is currently writing a paper ... boo ... so I thought I would take the opportunity to catch up on all of the things I want to share with you all.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">This weekend Eric turned 29 and we were able to celebrate big time! We began the day with breakfast at Dunkin Doughnuts and a trip to the farmer's market. I took a bunch of pictures at the farmers market that I'll share soon - I got real stressed out at how much I still suck at using our real camera ... but oh well.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">After the farmers market, we took a much needed nap while little P napped. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Then, we packed up the car and drove to Newport, KY to meet our families for dinner.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">We had dinner at Brio to celebrate Eric and my dad.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The meal was great and Parker was good considering how long we were there.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Oh and before I forget to mention it ...earlier in the week we snuck away for an amazing date to the Melting Pot.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLH1CtmDjn7sEufQyWrwG0FyCTt8g_6i6Qsypknk_phg5WpGrQI0Q9ipBbRJJvdthYWyj4UJT9g9MQmj-b_iQbibstF_S8l8aV0TVFjTa3yYGZig8Ew978CwGgvhhbff4hheUveRL2zBJG/s1600/-10.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLH1CtmDjn7sEufQyWrwG0FyCTt8g_6i6Qsypknk_phg5WpGrQI0Q9ipBbRJJvdthYWyj4UJT9g9MQmj-b_iQbibstF_S8l8aV0TVFjTa3yYGZig8Ew978CwGgvhhbff4hheUveRL2zBJG/s640/-10.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">One of the college girls in the small group that I lead volunteered to babysit for FREE :) </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">It was such a treat. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Back to Eric's actual birthday ...</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">After dinner, we drove back to Lexington and put little P to bed.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Eric read GoodN Night Moon for the 1,000th times, sang "I love you Lord," and gave him a "few" good night kisses.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">While Eric put little P to bed, I set up a special surprise for us.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> <br />
A couple of weeks ago, Jen posted about the fort her and Ben built in the middle of their living room for their anniversary weekend. I LOVED the idea. So sweet ... and you'll never too old for a fort right?</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> We caught up on this week's episode of Modern Family (currently my favorite show) and talked about what we want for our little families future. We talked about traditions we want to start, foster care, our jobs, and how much fun it will be to build a fort for Parker someday.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Yikes ... that's almost 1/2 a year.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Little P,</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I know I say this in every letter I write you ... but I love you more and more all of the time.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I really mean it. I love watching you grow, learn, and explore. You're no longer into your once beloved mat or your swing, you've moved onto bigger and better things ... your bouncer. You love to grab all of the toys on this thing, and you really love all of the noises that it makes. You're getting a lot stronger and you can roll from your belly to your back. You can move from your back to your side, but you haven't figured out how to get all the way over. However, I know that you're not too far from being able to roll both ways. In the past month, you've learned how to grab things on your own. I can put your toys out in front of you and you can grab them ... and of course everything goes right into your mouth once you get it. You're favorite thing to do it grab your blue elephant and very hungry caterpillar toys that hang from your car seat. They're velcroed onto the handle, and you love to pull them off and play with them. You always love to be moving. You love to kick your legs and fly around the house like an airplane (of course you can't really fly, but Daddy zooms you around like a little plane). You kick your legs so much that you've really become a pain to dress. I put one leg in your pants, and before I can get back in you've kicked the other one out. You smile and love this game, but I do not love it quite as much as you. You also move all around in your crib at night. I'll find you turned side-ways and holding onto the rails of your crib. Although you like to move around a lot, you still love to sleep in my arms. You take almost all of your naps in your crib (you take 2-3 naps right now), but there are still times when you fall asleep in my arms and I can't bring myself to put you down so I just hold you. You're also eating all kinds of new food. I've been making you all kinds of food, and I'm determined to help you from becoming a picky eater. So far you've tried peas, sweet potatoes, butternut squash, bananas, avocado, spinach, carrots, pumpkin, clementines, and parsnips. Sometimes you'll willingly eat whatever I give you, but other times you cry and spit it back out. So far your favorite thing is bananas and avocado mixed. Your least favorite is probably butternut squash. You've been sick on and off with several colds, and you get a real bad cough when you're sick. It breaks my heart. I think that you catch them from daycare. Sometimes when you're sick I wish I could stay home with you everyday, but I also know that you will do well interacting with all of the other kids and learning to trust other adults. I love you so much Parker. I love going to get you from your crib with you wake up. You always smile so big when you first wake up. You daddy makes fun of me because I always look into your crib and say (in a surprised voice) - "oh there's a little man in there. He's kind of cute too." I don't know why I say that ... I guess it's just something that has stuck. I guess I'm always still a little amazed that you're out of my belly and in the world. I am so thankful that God gave you to your Daddy and I. We thank God for you every night and pray that you will never know a day that you do not love the God who created you.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I feel like I have been able to blog more frequently this week & I love that.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I want to share with you all a blog that I've been following for a long time now.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Some of you may already follow <a href="http://www.lifeingraceblog.com/">Life in Grace</a>, but for those of you who do not ...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I can promise that you will be enriched by Edie's thoughts on life, design, and Jesus Christ.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
I am constantly challenged to grow more in my knowledge of the Word through her writings.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Just to fill you all in ...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Almost one year ago Edie's entire home burned.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">She shared a gorgeous lake house with her family, and it was heartbreaking to read her honest words as she made meaning of her life after the fire.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">They literally lost everything in the fire.</span><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">And just because, I thought I would share her kitchen from their home that was destroyed. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Whenever I dream about renovating our kitchen</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> ...

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Happy Monday Bloggers! </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Sweet little P is napping right now, so I thought I'd take the opportunity to check in. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">There's not a lot new going on here ... we're mostly trying to enjoy the wonderful Fall temperatures.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">This past weekend we were able to spend a lot of time outside ... and I'm really thankful for that. We participated in the Buddy Walk, attended a surprise sweet 16 (where there was guitars, singing, and bonfires), and ate a lot of bar-b-q in the great outdoors.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">It was a little chilly in Lexington this weekend, but today the weather is absolutely perfect. I'm thinking about running a couple errands after P wakes up, and maybe even sneaking in a trip to the arboretum. </span><br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Have I mentioned that I love my days off with him?</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I love that I'm the one that gets to teach him things, cuddle with him, and watch him grow. I am also thankful for the wonderful childcare that we have on the days when I do have to work. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> My heart is still torn about whether or not I could stay at home everyday. Right now working part-time is the perfect balance for our family, but when I look into the future I'm not sure how my career and motherhood will collide. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Currently, staying at home full-time isn't an option since Eric is in graduate school.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">However, I still wonder ... how do women make the decision to stay at home or work ...</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I can see if you hate your job wanting to stay at home, but what if you actually enjoy and feel called to your job?</span><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">How do you make the choice between being called to your work and being called at home?</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> </span></b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
I'm sure it has to be a difficult decision for some. I would love to hear from anyone out there who enjoyed, or even felt called to their job - but decided to stay at home.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I know all of this is planning way to far in the future, but I can't help my mind from wondering ... what will it be like when Eric is finished with school ... when I have the option ... will I continue to work?</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">My mind also wonders how people do it ... financially I mean. I understand how wives of doctors or lawyers stay at home, but I wonder the average family does it. I'm especially curious about families who are in full-time ministry (since that's what Eric is currently doing). How do you make the sacrifices? Where do you make the cuts? What is "enough" to live on? <br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">As with other things in life, I know that I must wait on the Lord's timing ... and enjoy where we are for right now.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Anyways, I didn't plan on writing everything above ... it just kind of came out. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">What I did plan on sharing was my new adventures in the world of making homemade baby food. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I've been having a lot of fun researching and whipping up some homemade treats for my little man. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The only problem is ... he doesn't seem to view this as treats. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">He's been a little stinker when it comes to trying new things. He's so hit or miss. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I can feed him one thing one day and he'll eat it great, and then the next time I try he seals his lips and cry.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The next thing in parenting that is unpredictable ... </span></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><b>I should predict that things are going to be unpredictable by now!! </b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I'm not sure if it's my timing or if he's truly not a fan of my cooking :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Or maybe he's just adjusting to eating solids. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Please email me or comment if you have any tips on introducing solids ... I'd love to hear any of your "tricks." </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">1. I came in from work today and Parker and Eric were asleep on the couch. It was adorable. I couldn't believe how long Parker looked. He seriously looked like a little boy.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">2. We've moved past the world of swaddling and graduated to the Aden and Anais sleep sack.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">3. Things at work have been stressful and uncertain. A lot of changes are taking place. I love working with children and families. I do not want that to change. I also love being part-time and having the opportunity to spends lots of time with my little man. I am trying to cling to God's history of faithfulness. He never fails us.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">4. I want to do something more creative with my life. I'm not sure what that would look like. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Maybe more jewelry stuff ... maybe a pop up shop ... maybe decorating a room in my house.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">5. I have decided to stop pumping (since about 3 weeks I've pumped 100% of the time and given Parker the breast milk). We're weeding out possible allergies and I finally came to the decision that switching to formula was best for our family. I'm throwing all self-imposed guilt to the wind. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">6. Does anyone else find that guilt tries to creep into a lot of areas of motherhood.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">7. I love my little man more than I could have ever dreamed.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">8. I am so excited to watch the premier of Up All Night.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">9. I am even more excited for Eric and I to getaway next weekend for my bestie Shannon's wedding. She is going to be the most beautiful bride. I can't wait to see her all dolled up.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">10. I can't wait to wear a pretty dress to the wedding.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">11. I can't wait to wear Fall clothes. Especially boots.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">12. I have a new addiction to lattes. Eric and I have been making them at home and it's AMAZING.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">13. When I was driving to work today, I kept thinking about how much motherhood involves sharing your body. Pregnancy and breastfeeding are such amazing and self-sacrificing experiences. It is so good to go through these sanctifying experiences. God made women with such amazing purposes. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">14. We've started a bedtime routine. It's so much fun. I think it is really good for little man. It goes a little something like bottle, change diaper, put on pjs and sleep sack, read goodnight moon, sing a short worship song, prayers (usually for a full nights sleep:), turn on sound machine, and lots of kisses on his forehead ... close the door and hope that I don't see his precious face again until 8:00am.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">15. Eric started graduate school this month. I am so proud of him. He is going to make a wonderful school counselor one. He will make lasting impact in the life of students ... I am sure of it. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">16. Motherhood is such a continuous transition. Babies, or children for this matter are always changing. Therefore, parents always need to be changing. I have found myself experiencing a lot of unexpected anxiety about this. I like things to be orderly and in my control. I am making daily attempts to surrender my anxieties and fears to Christ. Why do I worry about one thing, when before I know it, it will pass and there will be another thing to worry about. I want to live in the moment and remember that -this too shall pass-.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">My little peanut,</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I love you so much. It's amazing how my love for you continues to grow. You bring so much joy to your daddy and I's life. I love how much you smile. I love when you recognize my voice and instantly give me your gummy smile. I love it when we "talk" back and forth. You've got a lot to say and you love hearing the new noises you can make. You love sitting on your bumbo, but your daddy says it looks like you're on a roller coaster because your head wobbles a little. One thing that you do not love is tummy time. You get mad at me each time that I make you lay on your tummy, but I only want to make sure you grow to be big and strong. You still love to be swaddled up like a little burrito. Each morning though, I find you with your arms busted out. You love kicking your legs. You kick your legs with so much force, but you don't move anywhere. You still love your play mat, and you're getting much more coordinated at hitting the little animals. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">You've been drooling more lately, and you're obsessed with putting your hands in your mouth. Really you like to put anything in your mouth ... your hands, blankets, sofi book, and paci. Oh ... you LOVE your paci. Sometimes you'll suck on it so hard that it leaves a print around your mouth. Your paci is a lifesaver for your daddy and I. We don't know what we would do without it. I can tell that your eyes are changing and focusing more clearly. When I read to you, I can tell that you're really looking at the pictures. We need together almost everyday. You also listen to your Coldplay lullabies everyday. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I cherish my days off with you. We're lazy and spend lots of time smiling at each other :) </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">When you're at home, you're so much better at your naps. This makes me very happy, bc I love to be lazy and nap when you do. You're still learning how to nap at school, but you're getting the hang of it. All of your teachers adore you. They say that you have a fan club at school. You also love your changing pad. I don't get it, but I'm glad that you like it. Everything you're on your changing pad, you smile, coo, and kick your legs. Sometimes it's hard for me to get your diaper on because you kick so much.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">One thing that you and I haven't loved from this month is how sick you've been. You've had a really bad cough and congestion all month. You've been to the dr. several times now and we're still trying to figure out how to make you better. You've be given an antibiotic, and now we're giving you a round of steroids and breathing treatments. I hate filling your body with so much medicine, but more than anything I want you to get better. You've been waking yourself up a lot at night from your coughing fits. It breaks my heart. I want so badly for you to be healthy.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">You're such a sweetie. Even though you're sick, you still laugh and smile all of the time. A lot of times you'll even get distracted from taking your bottle because you're smiling so much. Every night your daddy and I pray for you before you go to bed. Every night I pray that God would take away your cough, but more importantly, I pray that the Holy Spirit would fill your room and comfort you, that you would grow to know the Lord at a young age, and that you would never know a day when you didn't love Jesus. Yes, that's my one hope for you Parker - that you would grow up to never know a day that you didn't love Jesus ...</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">because He loves you so much.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">And so does your daddy and I.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
