St. Patty's and Peas

He decided that it was much more fun to smoosh peas than to eat them.

Ten

Ten has snuck up on me.

I thought he was busy before, and yet each day I sweat a little harder chasing him. Everywhere. Bryan and I often wonder what would happen if we just let him go. So sometimes we do.

Although our lives have been somewhat turned upside down recently, he has been our constant joy.

His babbling actually seems purposeful these days - we think "da da", "eye", and "igh" (light) may actually mean something.

Tantrums are becoming more frequent, although still laughable.

He loves to point, at everything. Tonight it was the moon.

I still remember singing "I see the moon, the moon sees me, God bless the moon, and God bless me...." with my parents when I was little.

Sweet memories.

It is amazing (and yet scary!) to think that we are raising a child, and the things we do and say may actually be remembered one day!

Plunge boldly into the thick of life

and seize it where you will

it is always interesting.

- Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

Rest

This week.......

sleep, little.
circumstances, crazy.
thoughts, many.
emotions, varied.

rest, much.

As I sit here cuddled next to my husband, doors flung open on this beautiful cool sunny day, I am thankful for the rest in my soul that the Lord has been faithful to give.

...."take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you shall find rest for your souls."

Mt. 11:29
