Sand Between Their Toes

When I think of all the places my family has travelled, all the beaches my children’s tiny toes have touched, I am in awe of all God has done.  What a precious, blessed life we live as a military family.  With this life comes sacrifice but so many other families sacrifice more than we will… Continue reading Sand Between Their Toes

Mayhem

We had a rough morning. It started out great, I was up a full hour before the kiddos, an event that doesn’t happen very often around here lately. Showered, clothed and coffee in hand I was able to fit in my devotional and catch up on jotting down some of my 1000 Things. But somewhere… Continue reading Mayhem

Happy 10 Months Hudson!

You cannot possibly be 10.5 months old already.  I have no idea where the past 5 months have gone since we arrived here in Belgium.  Between moving from Spain, living in a hotel, moving into our new house and settling into life in another country your babyhood hasn’t been properly documented and I’m sorry for… Continue reading Happy 10 Months Hudson!

The Extra

Child #1 is a huge adjustment.  You hover.  You lay awake at night listening to all the chirps and burps rumbling from this new little creature laying in the zoo-animal-bedazzled porta-crib next to you.  You change your baby’s clothes every. single. time. they spit out the tiniest portion of bodily fluid.  You change their diaper… Continue reading The Extra

I have two sons. I am the mother of two. I know millions of women have more than one child. I just have to say it over and over again and type it to really believe it. It really does make me feel on top of the world. My little Huddy Buddy turned two months… Continue reading 2 Months Huddy Buddy

Fall Fun

We’ve been having so much fun this fall. It’s easy to do that with a precocious almost-two-year-old. There’s been a lot of sugar involved. And costumes. Costumes should be allowed all year. Mothers love costumes.

What I Know To be True

As I chased my almost two-year old at the park yesterday I thought about how pure and good he was. His little heart bursts at the seams when he sees his dad at the end of the day.  He doesn’t care that he wears shoes without a brand name or that his Mommy dressed him… Continue reading What I Know To be True

Huddy, you are one month old today and I cannot believe how fast this month has gone.  It makes me sad to think your 1st month in the world is over but at the same time I am so excited for all that lays before you.  Month 1 has been challenging and  so amazing, all… Continue reading 1 Month Old
