Unexpected Mercies: Kindergarten

http://unexpectedmercies.blogspot.com/2013/12/kindergarten.html

Tuesday, December 10, 2013. We're still here, livin'. One day at a time and trying to navigate new waters called. KINDERGARTEN! Beginning of the year was.well.exhausting. Waking up earlier (5am is an actual time! Lots of learning and fewer toys to Malakai's disappointment, new friends, new routines, buying "hot" lunches at school, walking down the school hallways by themselves! This gem (missed kick) gets me every time. Many of her pictures of people are so much better than I could ever draw! With lots o...

Unexpected Mercies: A very Mickey 5th birthday!

http://unexpectedmercies.blogspot.com/2013/01/a-very-mickey-5th-birthday.html

Sunday, January 20, 2013. A very Mickey 5th birthday! The kids turned 5 years old this week. It's so hard to believe how quickly they're growing up! It's their 2nd birthday with us and I feel like they still need to be little snuggle bugs but never the less, those arms and legs are growing quickly! Are amazingly intimidating. But, what's a better boy/girl twin themed birthday party than Mickey/Minnie Mouse! A sign a friend made for her daughter's party! A Banner I downloaded from here. He made it snow!

Unexpected Mercies: December 2013

http://unexpectedmercies.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html

Monday, December 16, 2013. Well, we didn't exactly get around to ordering our Christmas cards and at this point you might get them in time for the new year! So we decided to wish you all a Merry Christmas online and donate the money we would have paid for cards/stamps to Compassion International. Merry Christmas from the Sullivans! Picture taken by the AMAZING Allison Lewis. And while you're at it, check out the 2014 Faces of Adoption Calendar. The kids had snow on their 5th birthday in January! One day ...

Unexpected Mercies: January 2014

http://unexpectedmercies.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html

Thursday, January 30, 2014. The Snowpocolypse in Alabama! We often find ourselves in a "do/fix it myself" culture where we can often fix problems by ourselves or with very little contact with other people. This week has shown us how much better we can be when our community works together, when we allow ourselves to be the arms and legs of Christ to use our God-given talents, gifts and resources to help each other. I began shaking I was so nervous. HOW am I going to make it all the way to school! Wes was ...

Unexpected Mercies: First ER trip

http://unexpectedmercies.blogspot.com/2013/05/not-all-firsts-are-fun-exciting-full-of.html

Monday, May 27, 2013. Not all firsts are fun, exciting and full of warm fuzzies. Saturday we made our first ER visit. Malakai ran flat into the truck. He hit it with so much force it knocked him off his feet and hit the back of his head too! This was obviously followed with the most harrowing screams parents could hear. The bump on his forehead. Within seconds of scooping him up His forehead blew up like a balloon and his nose was bleeding inside and out! Bump on the back of his head. We got home LATE wi...

Unexpected Mercies: April 2012

http://unexpectedmercies.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html

Tuesday, April 17, 2012. For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them. I can't fathom how God knows and...

The Belgards: May 2011

http://belgards.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html

Family, Food, and Fun. Memorial Day brought a three day weekend (whoo hoo) and also the grandparents to town. Nana and Pop and Maw Maw Judy came to visit with Boone this weekend. That's right we're on the official back burner from now on (wink wink). Maw Judy and Boone. Sorry Dad. I'll get a picture of you and your trendy gown on the next post. The park had a great view of downtown Houston. Also, we went to the Aquarium. The food was hit and miss. The meals that me (bayou shrimp pasta), mom (stuffed ...

The Belgards: December 2011

http://belgards.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html

It's been a while since the last post. So. I guess I will start with “Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year”. I should have realized since we've been home from the NICU and only posted a few times that this would be the norm. It's been nothing short of an amazing year, stock full of memories, and a journey that we will surely treasure for a lifetime. I wanted to share the latest milestones from our little guy, a few pics, and couple general updates for the Belgard family.
