Life In The Shoebox

When mama is beyond tired and tv is failing as a helper. #weakmoment #whineedsabouncehouce #workingmama #donttelldad #freefun

And so it begins...learning the art of getting food into the mouth... #lovemygirls #coordinationislearned #sorryeve #mamalovespictures #workingmama #yogurtisfun #dadisgrossedout

This, my friends, is what a bff looks like. #doorsidedelivery #lovemybestie #feelingloved #onemoredayandbrianishome #wecandothis

Just had to share this truth from psalm 95. I grew up singing this as a song. For He is our God and we are the people of his pasture. Such love and tenderness from my loving God. I just can't imagine where I would be without Him. My heart is filled with gratitude. Today was packed full of moments where I proved I am a limited human with limited patience. I'm imperfect and at times do not respond in love...or as I should. I'm grateful for forgiveness and "new mercies every morning." #workingmom #lovemygirls #sickkidsarenofun #tomorrowisanewday

"Mom!!!" (Said from the bathroom) "What?" "I know why I didn't feel very good this morning!!!" (Said with amazement discovery) "Why????" "Because there's bubbles in my pee!!!!" #lovemygirls #discovery #homefromschool #fouryearsold #workingmama

So thankful for Dadda and Claire bedtime prayers. ❤️

Spring 2016 - kiddos art show!

2016 so far... Claire gets to swim in March, lots of fun mama days, Eve learns to drink from a straw, we meet new small group members, we all battle through weeks of sickness. Claire uses B's shirt for sleeping and Eve grows into one of my favorite coats!

I can't believe it's been so long since I've posted!! Life is good. Eve is no longer drinking bottles and both girls have been pretty consistent with sleeping at night. Eve will be dedicated on Sunday!! Yay! Proverbs 3:5,6 trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding in all your ways acknowledge Him and we will make straight your paths.

1.27.16 - pretty sure Claire was Dutch-ovened this evening. - also pretty sure B had to flush BEFORE helping Claire wipe after #2 😂

January 2016 Brother Jeff and fam come to visit Eve turns 10 months Brian explains to Claire how we use the toothbrush only to clean our teeth.

Today Eve and I shared some potato soup!

2015 - Claire asked Santa for a sewing machine and Santa decided that Eve would want a teething ring.
