The 19th.

I woke up today as I do most mornings of the 19th. I woke thinking of Ellis. It's funny - I don't think of Larson on the 16th of every month, or of Secily on the 4th, but somehow the 19th of every month, well, it's just Ellis' day.

Today was a little more than that though, because today I am in my 34th week of pregnancy with our next little one.....so once again, I am 34 weeks on the 19th of the month - to say I woke up anxious is an understatement.

I have been working so hard this whole pregnancy not to worry, but to trust in what the Lord has in store for our family, whatever it may be. I have been consciously choosing to daily trust Him with this pregnancy, this baby, & with my emotions about it all (no small feat!) But this morning, I was just so nervous. I woke up & I just lay still waiting for this baby to move, praying to feel it move.....

As I lay there waiting, I read a devotional that I subscribe to...."do not be anxious about anything" it read, "but in everything by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will your guard your hearts & your minds in Christ Jesus."

Wow. Talk about a blatant reminder from the Lord that He is in control. Of everything. He was in control of Ellis' life, and He is in control of this baby too.

I have 3 weeks to go with this pregnancy & as I move past this day, I am so grateful for a God who loves me, who is concerned with the details of my life, who, by no coincidence, reminded me this morning to "be anxious for nothing" & who gave me a peace about today that truly did pass all understanding. I will continue to put my trust in Him. For today. For tomorrow. For whatever may happen.

The baby moved. :)

Voltron

I believe the year was 1985. At 5am every weekday Natalie and I
would sit down in front of the TV. And watch the magic of Voltron
unfold. On Saturday it was Gummie Bears.

I found a old army medical strecher in my neighbors trash. Now it's
making a comeback as a kid sized swinging hammock.

"Dad, I found a flower match my dress"
I probably shouldn't tell her that it's a weed and I just bought a 10
lb bag that soul purpose is to destroy our lawns "flowers".

Feeling Itchy?

Today is our 7th year anniversary - I feel no itch. I am still totally in love with the guy that I said "I Do" to.

I broke out of "house arrest" and we went out for brunch this morning to celebrate while the kids were at school.

Happy Anniversary Ryan. I love you!

Melt Your Heart Moments

I love the ages that our kids are at. They are just hilarious, and sometimes can be so, so sweet - here are a few of my favorite recent quotes:

Grandma: Good-night Larson, have a great sleep. I love you. And Grandpa loves you. And Mommy loves you. And Daddy loves you.
Larson: And Jesus loves me.
(Awwwwhhh.)
****************
Secily, upon waking up from a nap: So much Mommy.
Mommy: So much what Secily?
Secily: So much, I love you so much.
****************
Secily, at dinner time: I want to sit by Mommy!!!!!
Ryan: Why?
Secily: I want to sit by Mommy 'cuz we're best friends.
****************
Me: Secily, Granny is coming to visit us today!
Secily: And Grandpa Glenn?
Me: No, just Granny this time.
Secily: (starts to cry) But, but, I like BOTH of them!
****************
And, finally, I saved the best for last. This conversation took place over dinner a little while ago:

Larson: Secily, who do you like better? Mom or Dad?
Secily (without hesitation): Mom.
Larson (comes back with a quick reply): Oh. I like Dad better.

How's that for honesty!? I guess we better soak it up now, I have a feeling that if I record this very same conversation when they are 12 & 13 their answers may be a little different!
