Figuring Out Family: Quiet Time
http://emilyswonderments.blogspot.com/2011/03/quiet-time.html
Friday, March 18, 2011. I'm going through "Live Intimately: Lessons from the Upper Room" in my Quiet Times right now and Philippians 2:3-11 was part of the reading for today. I've read Philippians, I've taught a small group on Philippians, and I still find something new every time. I also love how The Message. Because of that obedience, God lifted Him high and honored Him far beyond anyone or anything, ever, so that all created beings in heaven and on earth—even those long ago dead and buried—...

Figuring Out Family: June 2012
http://emilyswonderments.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 30, 2012. If You Want Something Done Right. Just do it yourself. I had the most difficult time finding a maternity swimsuit that was anywhere near decently modest. So, I found a style at walmart.com that looked like it might work. When it was delivered, though, the top was still too low. Unfortunately, I don't know of anyone who makes camis for swimsuits. I ended up not needing the bias tape, since the hem of the tankini served the same purpose. To give support to the panel). One thing I m...

Friday, April 13, 2012. October's Gonna Get Crazy. I've kinda forgotten to update the blog, but we have something to share now! On February 7th, we found out that Baby Abbott is on his or her way, due October 17th! We've been praying for this for a while now and are SO excited!

Monday, May 14, 2012. Snips and Snails and Puppy Dog Tails. We went to our 18 week appointment this afternoon, just expecting to hear Peanut's heartbeat on the doppler and then make the appointment for the anatomical/diagnostic ultrasound in mid-June. Of course, we said yes, so we went down the hall to one of the ultrasound rooms. This is our son, Ezra David. :). May 14, 2012 at 9:37 PM. May 14, 2012 at 10:51 PM. May 14, 2012 at 10:58 PM. Ultrasound photos never looked this good with my guys! Wife to Fle...

Figuring Out Family: July 2013
http://emilyswonderments.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 25, 2013. I can't believe Ezra is nine months old today. Time is flying by way too fast. I'll have weight and length stats later today}. He started crawling at the beach, at 7m13d. He has all four central incisors now, too. We've switched to Baby Led Weaning when it comes to solids. He despised purees and loves to feed himself. He still loves avocado and enjoys green beans and chicken, too. He continues to hate carrots, though. He also went to his first baseball game last month. Christian ...

Figuring Out Family: Why We Waited to Kiss
http://emilyswonderments.blogspot.com/2011/07/why-we-waited-to-kiss.html
Monday, July 25, 2011. Why We Waited to Kiss. Many people have asked us why we waited until the wedding to kiss. This is our story. I was in 10. I went home for church one Sunday and one of the younger high schoolers was asking about this boy I was constantly talking about. She asked, "Does he want to wait until his wedding to kiss, too? I had totally forgotten that I told the younger youth girls about it. So, I decided that if he brought it up, I would talk to him about it. It wasn't easy. It was ho...

Figuring Out Family: The Perfect Day
http://emilyswonderments.blogspot.com/2010/02/perfect-day.html
Sunday, February 14, 2010. So, all I knew about the plans for today is that we were going to church and that I should eat breakfast, because Fletcher wasn't sure when we'd get a chance to eat before dinner. After church, we got in the car, and he told me to drive across the street to:. The House I Lived In Last Year. This is the main academic building on campus, and it's where the computer lab is. Fletcher walked me up to the 2nd floor lab, and we sat on the couches where we would sit and talk after ...

http://emilyswonderments.blogspot.com/2013/10/ezra-is-one.html
Friday, October 25, 2013. So much has happened in the past year. We moved halfway across the country, back to Virginia, when Ezra was 4 ½ months old. A week of intense packing (so thankful my cousin was able to come out to be an invaluable extra set of hands, driving 1100 miles in 3 days. Fun times.
