My daughter and I went on mommy daughter date last week and had a great time. I bought a new dress. She ate orange sherbet for the first time and loved it. It is hard to believe how fast time is going by. This is what it will always be like. A blink. And she'll be gone. Grown up. It is so bittersweet. My Princess She loves to dance in the aisle during song service. She steals the iPhone to watch Kung Fu Panda way too loudly during prayer. She is independent and stubborn. She has no idea … [Read more...]
Traveling to Arkansas
We have arrived in the great state of Arkansas! We are on the border of Arkansas and Oklahoma in the city of Fort Smith. After a long travel day, with one layover in Dallas we were greeted by a local pastor and his wife with bags of food and toys for our kids. We are so blessed! The layover was short and due to ice we arrived late. We ran through the airport in Dallas to board last on a small airplane. Boy, was it hot! Once we took off, my Little Man fell asleep the entire rest of the … [Read more...]
Living by the Beach: What a Great Life!
We survived a road trip to Northern California. Kind of. We learned that my 5 year old now gets car sick when she is watching a movie in the van. {Car sick to the point of throwing up. Twice. Yuck.} And doing anything for 10 hours straight with a teething baby can become torture. But we survived. We made it! We are living by the beach and loving it. We are now settled nicely in Northern California a five minute walk from the beach. A down hill walk which is easy, the uphill walk takes … [Read more...]
Baby Update: 7 Months Old!
It has been too long since I posted a baby update. My Little Man is now 7 months old. I cannot believe how fast time is flying by. It is so crazy. I love this age, don't you? My Little Man is now using so many letter sounds, trying so hard to "talk". I swear there are times when he is saying 'Daddy' and 'Bella'. It is so cute. My parents and grandfather all think that he really is talking. Grandparents are fun like that, aren't they? This month he is mastering grabbing his food, even the … [Read more...]
My Baby Is 3 Months Old!
Nathanael is 3 months old this month. It is amazing how fast time goes by. 3 months old is such a fun stage. This is when babies begin to laugh, hold their head up better, and grab things. We have been doing tummy time in the mornings when he is happy. He has rolled over a couple times. This is also the month that the drool begins to go into overdrive. I have purchased extra bibs so that his shirts don't get soaked through. I have also purchased teething toys that you can chill in … [Read more...]
The Start of Our Family Day
You all know we travel for my husband's work 8 months out of the year. Some days that can be very hard, but one thing that I love about this calling is the family time we get together. We wake up, or sleep in together and eat breakfast together. The last three weeks we have woken up to fresh juice. My husband loves juicing - and we love drinking it. He juices fruits and vegetables for us, making a large batch, that we can drink throughout the day. It is the best start for our family … [Read more...]
