A Merry Heart: November 2013
http://www.amerryheartblog.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Pumpkin patch, baby dedication, block party for the community where our new church is, sitting in the Bumbo. Auburn beats Texas A&M. Exersaucer, tummy time toys. Your slight dimple on your right cheek, your half smile and the way your nose wrinkles when you smile (you pretty much smile all the time). Your "leg butts".yes, exactly as I said.leg butts. The rolls on your legs that look like butts. 17 lbs 5 oz, 26 inches long, which puts you in the 90% for both. You don't get upset/angry easily. Snuggle Bug,...

A Merry Heart: Boogers, Dutch-Ovens, and Confessing Sin
http://www.amerryheartblog.com/2015/03/boogers-dutch-ovens-and-confessing-sin.html
Boogers, Dutch-Ovens, and Confessing Sin. It's sure been a while since I wrote about how the Lord teaches me through Lily. He still does, constantly, but tonight I actually have the time to write about it! Friday night we were all up late and got in the bed at the same time. Scott fell right to sleep as usual. Lily popped into our room just as Brent turned off the lights in our room. Something was bothering her and she had to get it off her chest. Backup for a minute. Brent: Should I go with the leather?

A Merry Heart: April 2014

Dear Lily and Scott,. We will have good days. Days that we will remember forever. We will have not so good days. And then we will have those really bad, ugly, rough, messy days that make us all feel like we have failed each other; the days that our sinful hearts are blatantly exposed and it's no question that we need more and more of His grace and forgiveness. But we are a family. We are in this together. We will fall down together, we will rise up together. One thing you can be sure of in all. As I type...

A Merry Heart: May 2014

A Picture is Worth a Thousand Tears. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. I spent the better part of last night contemplating what that actually means. Because there is a beautiful moment I captured in a picture that I can't leave alone. Wikipedia (which I think can be trusted in matters of defining a phrase) says it "refers to the notion that a complex idea can be conveyed with just a single still image.". Well, that's certainly true in this case. We went to out as a family on Saturday to get i...

If you are reading this, thank you. You must be bored to read an entire post dedicated to the day my son was born. It's important to me, of course, but I understand that it's not a big deal to anyone else. I want to keep these memories in written form which is why I write most of the things I post. Thanks for hanging around here! Wheel me in. Slice me open. Get him out. Staple me up. Bodda bing. Bodda boom. But I love it. No Oh wait, that's no different than any other night while I was pregnant with Scott.

Lily is 4 1/2! Lily you are joy. This time last year we were soaking up our last few days with you before little man arrived. We were stoked about seeing you as a big sister, knowing you would be a wonderful one. We were so right! You have so much love for your brother and it's not just in your words, it's in your actions. You are a servant. You jump at the chance to help us and you do it with enthusiasm. Lily we love you more than we could ever express to you in words. More than anything, we want yo...

The time I counted all the way to 60 at Walgreens. It's been so long since I've written that I forgot my own blog address. That's embarrassing. Why have I been absent? Just busy. And my computer is about to quit on me. It's very slow and just thinking about turning it on gives me a headache. I'm on Brent's now, but the keyboard is funky and I don't like typing on it. But here I am, because I have a story to tell. I need to post pics of Scott's first birthday at the beach. The employee asked for my name a...

A Merry Heart: October 2013

Well I'm glad the kids had their parties at school already since it looks like there won't be a lot of trick-or-treating tonight with the weather that is headed our way. I don't know why I went into so much detail about tonight's dinner situation. But I did. So there. I got pictures from Lily's party at school and I also put the kids in different costumes this morning to take a few pics. Putting Scott in an outfit that is slightly too short, after he spit up all over it, after he woke up too early fr...

Definitely getting taller (but no idea the actual measurement) and still the same weight as last year. Brave, Little Mermaid, and Tangled. Doc McStuffins and Sheriff Callie's Wild West. Taking things to the kitchen. Her current favorite is "salty chips".Kettle brand sea salt and vinegar chips. She's also really into cantaloupe and carrots with ranch dressing right now. Pistachios (or any kind of nut) are still a favorite. You learned the word "fart" and like to randomly incorporate the word into your dai...
