We just found out that we are expecting a little GIRL at the end of November.  I'm amazed, awed and totally in love with the thought that our precious Segen is going to be a big brother. Bring on the pink!

Trains...and a TWO year-old

Our resident train/truck/construction-aficionado turned 2 (gasp!) on June 16th. 

Happy 2nd Birthday, Segen!

Part of the Journey

"Even the saddest things can become, once we have made peace with them, a source of
wisdom and strength for the journey that still lies ahead." 

-F. Buechner

Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. 

 Now I know in part; then I shall know fully...

Of Love and Loss

Still fresh in my mind, even two years later...our sweet Baby Faith's unfufilled due date.

Love you, miss you...and so excited that we will hold you one day.

Sooooo...big!

Sooooo...fast! How is it possible that my "little" boy is already 16 months old? I love you more every day, Mr. Baby Blue Eyes!

Reasons to Celebrate

Freedom...Family...and Birthdays!

Segen celebrated his 1st with a pool party on June 16th.

Duke celebrted his 6th on July 2nd with a yummy carrot cake complete with real carrots! (His favorite!)

(Shhhh...don't tell anyone, but Mommy is celebrating her 31st tomorrow.)

Happy Independence Day!

Two Years Ago Today...

I Will Carry You
~Selah

There were photographs I wanted to take
Things I wanted to show you
Sing sweet lullabies, wipe your teary eyes
Who could love you like this?

People say that I am brave but I’m not
Truth is I’m barely hanging on
But there’s a greater story
Written long before me
Because He loves you like this

So I will carry you
While your heart beats here
Long beyond the empty cradle
Through the coming years
I will carry you
All my life
And I will praise the One Who’s chosen me
To carry you

Such a short time
Such a long road
All this madness
But I know
That the silence
Has brought me to His voice
And He says…

I’ve shown her photographs of time beginning
Walked her through the parted seas
Angel lullabies, no more teary eyes
Who could love her like this?

I will carry you
While your heart beats here
Long beyond the empty cradle
Through the coming years
I will carry you
All your life
And I will praise the One Who’s chosen Me
To carry you

Mommy will love you forever, sweet baby.
