The Explorer

For those of you asking, What was Eden doing while you were taking picture? Here she is exploring the box the sleepy wraps came in. Of course the best way to do that is to get into the box. Plus, she found one of the boy's Dinosaur that she carried around for a good while. She picked the dinosaur because she couldn't reach the monkey wearing the tutu. She had a blast playing with all the cool toys at Ms. Andrea's house.

Sleepy Wraps

Josiah and I were models today. You might even see us in baby magazines. My friend Andrea got me hooked with wearing Josiah. Thanks Andrea! I started with ring slings but Josiah quickly outgrew them. He's 16 lbs, 6oz and only 3 months old :)

This is my new favorite thing, It's called a Sleepywrap. It's super comfortable and it keeps my hands free so I can chase after Eden. Josiah loves being in it and close to me. This is the gray one, I also modeled black and a really pretty blue. I got to keep the blue one for being a model. How fun is that!!! I can't wait to show off the blue one; Josiah's eyes look so good in that wrap. He spit up on it and fell asleep while wearing that one. So I figured it was a keeper.

Check out my little thumb sucker :)

So Blessed

I am so blessed to be the Momma to two amazing children. Years ago doctors told me it would be nearly impossible to get pregnant b/c of a medical problem. What do they know? I have an amazing God, who is the great physician. He surprised us with both of my pregnancies. I have come to realize that parenting is a monumental task. Shaping the mind and heart of a little one is a lesson in sacrifice that requires so much patience and care. I feel like I fail so often. Thankfully, God's mercies are new each day. There are so many moments lately that God has moved me to understand my relationship with him by using my children. It isn't always easy, but it is always a blessing.

Eden is a curious and happy almost 2 year old. She continually amazes me with her ability to learn and comprehend. She is also quick on her toes, laterally. I was just told to look at this coming year as the "terrific two." They will pass before I know it. My little girl won't always be so little :)

Josiah is a laid back and sweet little boy. Actually, he's not so little. I think he's around 15-16 lbs by now. I call him big red. Along with his awesome red hair, he has beautiful blue eyes. A sweet older lady from our church said, "he has smiley eyes, you know he'll have a happy life." What a great thing to say and hope for my son.

Our most important hope for our children is to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. He is the reason they exist. We all exist to have a relationship with him. Jesus is the source of our blessing as a family.

All Thumbs

Josiah is a thumb sucker like his Mamma was. I took these a few minutes ago as he was napping. My Goodness, I have an adorable baby!!!! This is really cool b/c his room is really dark. Gotta love a flash!
