Everything Estes: July 2008
http://everythingestes.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 29, 2008. So, as we promised. Here are some videos of Jude meeting Brennan for the first time. I said last time that the very first thing Jude did was kiss Brennan.I had forgotten that he was prompted! Oh well, cute nonetheless! Here Jude's a little more warmed up to Brennan. Listen for when Jon asks Jude to tell him Brennan's name. This will SURELY be a fun story to tell later! Oh, and this one is my favorite video! Ok So you know how you act different when you know you're being filmed?

Everything Estes: August 2008
http://everythingestes.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, August 31, 2008. Happy Birthday Sweet Boy! I couldn't have known. When I first saw you. How my heart would swell. And fill with love. I couldn't have known. What your tiny form would become. So precious, so perfect. A blend of your dad and me. I couldn't have known. I couldn't have known. That your sweet voice. Could still me and fill me. With such deep joy. I couldn't have known. The hard days would come. So tired, so humbled. By how to raise you. I couldn't have known. I couldn't have known.

Everything Estes: March 2009

Monday, March 02, 2009. I LOVE this job! I seriously can't think of a better job than this! Trust me, I sure have my days. But when I'm intentionally walking in joy and contentment, I just can't thank Jesus enough for my husband and sweet boys! A friend sent me the book Created to be his Help Meet. At a particularly discontented time (Thank you Daphne), and it handed me a direct challenge: PRACTICE. I have to PUT ON thankfulness. It doesn't just happen! And I can see the fruit of it in our marriage!

I have to say you beat me to it! I love you, I love you, I love you! I know better now more than ever the power behind those words! Somethin' in your eyes, makes me wanna lose myself. Makes me wanna lose myself, in your arms. There's somethin' in your voice, makes my heart beat fast. If you knew how lonely my life has been.

Sunday, April 27, 2008. How to Turn Heads in Tunis. Everyone's seen pictures of women in Africa carrying their babies on their backs, right? Totally normal, right? And yes, it's true, we do in fact live in Africa. But it's really not what you think.nor what I thought. I decided to utilize a cute, fun, and totally practical gift from Rachel Super. And well. let's just say people were talking about me like. I was walking around without pants on! The entire road to our fruit stand was filled with. Our place...

Monday, September 29, 2008. The Adventures of Mister Jude.and a lil treasure. Yep, still a ham! Calls them "Taylor Joyisms". But "Jude Elijahisms" doesn't really work, ya know? Neither does Judaism. For obvious reasons. Ha. Hmm What should we call them? Nothing's coming to me just now. But I thought I'd share some total. We'll classify this under the 2 year update. I know I'm late. So shoot me. Hope you enjoy these as much as we do! Wanna be a fly on our wall? Seriously. I almost wept. The other night Jo...

Everything Estes: December 2008
http://everythingestes.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, December 06, 2008. This year is to me. Not just peeling back. The kind of pain that makes you feel your heartbeat. I shook my fist at You. I begged You to make it stop. I idolized the pleasantness of peace. As a last resort. I clung to You. Course through my veins. I saw myself as i was. So at the mercy of my own. And then i saw You. Not resenting me for my need. Not dragging your feet. But so unmistakably ready to love. And undeniably strong enough. With delightfully shameful reminders. So for...

Tuesday, September 08, 2009. F is for Florida and FUN. I've got a WONDERFUL hubby;that is for SURE! Jon surprised us with a trip to FL last week to see my sister Kaye and her family. He orchestrated off time and everything for us to enjoy some restful fun together. SUCH a blessing! We had NO idea when we set out just how much fun we'd have! And of course I loved on those girls with every ounce of sweetness I had in me. Thankfully, they gave me LOTS of sweetness back! I treasure those tiny girls! It was a...
