Friends

I don’t have enough time or space to write how wonderful my friends…and family (who are also my friends) have been to me, Brad and the girls over the past week.

If you don’t know, Brad and I miscarried last week.

While our hearts are sad, we are hopeful and thankful for all that we have been blessed with. (Plus I believe we now have 2 angels in heaven that we’ll see one day)

And after the 20+ phone call, email, text, hug, prayer, meal, card, facebook comment, tweet,  etc. -

I cannot help but say how completely amazing our friends are. They held us up this week and it absolutely made all the difference in the world.

Thank you.

The future is bright :)

Trice

“I will pour out my spirit on your descendents. They will spring up like grass in a meadow, like poplar trees by flowing streams. One will say, ‘I belong to the Lord’; another will call himself by the name of Jacob; still another will write on his hand, ‘The Lord’s,” and will take the name Israel.

Isaiah 44

Happy to announce we look forward to welcoming our 3rd blessing in May, 2010. :)

Rockstar

If you know my girls, you know that I dress them very girly. Fluff, frill, glitter, jewels, animal print…all totally my thing. Daily (gigantic) bows are a dup-girl core value.

However…

the rockstar-ish look is sooo cute on little girls – I’m just not real confident in how to do it.

Brad and I saw the cutest little girl in NYC. She had on black and white striped knee-high socks with a short yellow skirt and yellow chucks. She was super-cute.

So here is my attempt to bring a little rockstar into our pretty princess world:

I couldn’t forgo the bow

Brie and I went to Bradenton, Florida this weekend to visit my sister, brother, sister-in-law, brother-in-law, and absolutely adorable nephew. We had an amazing time – they are all thriving  and it was refreshing just to be around them. And…we took Brie to the beach for her very first time :)

It was a blast :)

Miss them already.

Quite the accomplishment for my little 14-month old :)

Specifics

So when I told her,

“Brie, your shoes don’t belong in the middle of the floor,”

I thought she would put them in her closet.

Next time I will be more specific.

Un-Timeout

Well on my first day of coming out of blogging time-out, you-know-who had her first experience with time-out at school today.

August2009 018

Apparently, she would not leave a drawer alone…and then she kind-of hollered “NO” at her teacher.

Unbelievable, I know.

She did actually tell her teacher that she loved her for the first time today too…interesting…

Welcome to the being a woman, Sage, you are coming along just fine :)

Here’s to a day of firsts!

ps – This is not an actual picture of her first time-out. Time-out was re-enacted for your viewing pleasure.

Silence

si-lence

1. absence of any sound or noise; stillness.

2. the state or fact of being silent; muteness.

3. concealment; secrecy.

4. absence or omission of mention, comment, or expressed concern.

Please excuse me from blogging for just a little while…

A little time to be silent…

Don’t worry – I will be back…

I love writing too much and 140 characters is way too limiting for me :)

Much Love-

N

She is mine?

This 3 year-old angel – full of joy and life and laughter and innocence – is mine?

“As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.”

Isaiah 55:9

This is definitely more than I dreamed…

I am so much more than blessed.

*Thanks to David and Lauren Song for great pictures, you guys are the best.
