1 week


Yep, I'm also copying the Weekly Photo Project from one of my favorite blogs, YoungHouseLove. Each week, I hope to take a photo of little man in a white onesie (the same one if I can remember) with a fun fabric behind him. Hopefully this will let us see how big he is getting! This week's "fabric" is a blanket that was made for Canon by a great friend of mine from Clemson. We absolutely love it. Thanks Lauren!

This first week has been really slow and really fast all at the same time! I can't believe that this time last week he was still inside me! So far, he has been super easy. The first two nights at home he had some fits that took a little while to settle down, but since then, the last 3 nights, have been great. He sleeps most of the day and night and we're at the point that we're trying to keep him up a little during the day and trying to get some good 4+ hour stretches at night. Got to start those patterns early!

I'm feeling good, though I tend to fall apart when the sun goes down. I think the exhaustion of the day and the anxiety of the upcoming evening catch up to me and I just need a good 5 minute cry. Then, I'm good to go! My mom has been here and has been a HUGE help. I can't even begin to think about what we are going to do when she is gone! Not only has she been helping me take care of Canon, she has been cleaning the kitchen, doing laundry and just taking care of me. Love you MoMo!

Aaron has also been doing a great job. Y'all, seriously. He took an entire week off school to be with us, even though school is little crazy right now. He has had some serious principal things come up this week, along with planning a softball tournament, along with having a new baby and an emotional wife, and has been doing it all. If you think of him, pray that he'll continue to be able to balance all the things that are going on in his life right now! 

I'm hoping for the next week that we'll continue this to have a sweet, calm, peaceful little boy and that we'll be able to keep those longer stretches of sleep at night!

Well, Daddy is home!!!!!!!!!!

Fort Wayne Fun!

To be honest, when Aaron told me we were likely moving to Fort Wayne, Indiana....I wasn't thrilled at the geographical part of that statement. I didn't know much about the midwest and thought that Fort Wayne was a tiny town with lots of cows, corn and not much else. Thankfully, I was wrong! Fort Wayne is actually awesome. There are TWO Chick-fil-a's, lots of parks and playgrounds, rivers that run through, an awesome Children's zoo and much more. Here just a quick snapshot of some of the fun we've had this summer in Indiana. Camping - friends invited Aaron and the big boys on their first overnight tent camping experience! This state park was just 45 minutes from our house. I came up with the littles, then left way late to sleep in our own beds! The next morning they got to canoe! Hiking - we had a goal of hiking each Saturday morning that was free this summer, and we succeeded twice! Once in town, and once just about an hour away. So fun to be in the ...

22 weeks (5 months)

this kid cracks me up Just like every mom, I say this every month, but I can't believe he is already 5 months! I'm not going to lie, this event has really caused me to kick my mommy-ness into gear. It is time to get this kid together, ha! So this week I have been really intentional about making sure we get lots of tummy time in, practicing rolling over, lots of time in the bumbo chair and on the couch sitting up and being super silly to pull out those giggles! And honestly, we're having the best time! Not that I wasn't doing these things before, but I had a bit more laid back approach assuming that he'll just learn things on his own. And he will, but now I'm just more up in his face pushing him along! We got over being sick, for the most part, at the end of last week. Since he had been sick, I'd been rocking him a lot more, going into his room during naps/nighttime almost every time he cried, putting the pacifier back in his mouth, etc. Well, let me t...

His and Hers

Aaron has officially started his second year of seminary! To commemorate, I thought I'd paste the answers to some questions we were both recently asked. A way to get an idea of both sides of our life right now. My answers: How did you spend your summer?  We had the best summer! Aaron took Hebrew in June and July, and I had my first summer as a stay at home mom. We went to the beach, pool, the library, visited Chicago and came to Alexandria twice!!  What are you most looking forward to (in your 2nd year at Seminary)?  The “cloud” over the 2nd year is getting ready for our vicarage. We’ll meet with the placement director in October and will find out the location in April! So there will be lots of hypothetical conversations, wishlists and prayers leading up to that!  Otherwise, I’m excited that we’ll be just minutes away from our church and school. I hope to get our whole family to matins more weekdays than not and Canon will begin a first communion class this ...
