Sunday, September 28, 2014. My baby is ONE! Alas, on to birthday wishes and the last of the September craziness. Dearest Baby Karsten,. No one loves me like my babies do. Which may be one of the reasons I am so sad to see you grow. You have already stopped looking at me with hungry eyes, and find it more fun to chase your sisters than snuggle me on the couch. With all my love on your first birthday,. All you wanted for your birthday was a ride on something noisy. Posted by Ashley N. Links to this post.

a child's eyes - old site: May 2014
http://negards.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 30, 2014. Annike flourished throughout this year of Kindergarten. It is shocking to think that a year ago she did not want to go anywhere without her blanket. She did not know many of her lower case letters, or any math. She has learned so much over the past year that she even initiated writing and illustrating her own "books" that she liked to take in to read to her class. Ha! Mostly, we are pleased about who she is becoming. Below, our tribute to kindergarten:. Invitation to a "pardee" (par...

Tuesday, November 4, 2014. As a child I remember wondering what was so special about the Family Circus. Cartoon. Now I am all grown up and I get it. They are not so much funny as they are true, thus laughable. This one tickled me a familiar place where I sighed when I read it and thought: Yes. That is how I feel. The truth is that I spend too much of my thought life thinking about the activities I am not. These are not the activities I envision bringing my soul satisfaction. But they are the activiti...

http://negards.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 21, 2014. I am long overdue for a new cover photo. There are now 3 little sets of eyes regularly teaching me about life and love and the ultimate simplicity of God's message. Eyes that are grey, green, and blue. Eyes watching me too. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but what is unseen; what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." 2 Corinthians 4:18. Posted by Ashley N. Links to this post. Wednesday, February 19, 2014. A dance in her heart. I am not really sure at wha...

a child's eyes - old site: July 2014
http://negards.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 24, 2014. We have had a bit of a funky summer. Maybe I am just getting older, or maybe an extra dose of LIFE. Then his pain-induced nausea turned him a sallow shade of pasty green and I decided it was the real thing.). I want to know that I have loved well. Have I loved well in the harried moments of my day? Have I loved well in selfishly stolen quiet times? Have I loved well on the telephone when conversations drew tears on the other end, through the chaos of needy little ones on my end?

http://negards.blogspot.com/2014/09/birthday-week-sommer.html
Monday, September 22, 2014. One of the things that makes turning three special is that Sommer can finally hold up all three fingers to show us how old she is. The problem is that she keeps telling us she is five, so we still have something to work on. Dearest Sommy-som, Sommy-num, Sommer sunshine, Som-Som,. At three years old you already have a clear sense of conscience, forgiveness, and God's ever-present love. You are even quick to remind me when I am hurting: "But, Momma, God loves you." What ...What ...

a child's eyes - old site: August 2014
http://negards.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, August 26, 2014. School started up last week for Annike. First grade begins the wild world of full day school. Off she goes. On that first day while she was gone and my younger two were napping, I sat on the couch with my Bible, by myself. It felt like a small miracle to be alone. I teared up with emotion, and all of the mixed sentiments of the day. worry, exhaustion, gratitude, relief, sadness at witnessing the arrival of yet another year. Why is no one helping me? And caring for my husband?
