back at it


It's been...some time. But, I'm feeling inspired.

We are right in the middle of our second summer in Fort Wayne. We've been back to Alexandria, the beach and Chicago. The boys have done Games camp, Farm camp and one VBS. We still have another VBS, 2 weddings and another trip to Virginia on our schedule! Aaron completed Hebrew 1 and will finish Hebrew 2 at the end of July. And then, school starts again in September!

We moved, of course. When I found our first rental, I knew it was in a good neighborhood and was a great size, and that it was far away from everything. We were driving 25-35 minutes to get up to Seminary, see friends and get to church. Once I made the move to stay home with the boys, it just made sense to be closer to everything that we do around town. We became aware of a rental that is just 4 blocks from our church, and about 15 minutes to everything we do. It's super cute and easier to manage because it is smaller. We're for sure still in the process of settling in and figuring out how exactly to arrange all the furniture and establish new spots and routines, but I already love it so much!

It is strange that we're starting to do things for the second time now, such as the summer socials at the Seminary and just today, the Three Rivers Parade. The best part of doing them again - having friends to join us!

So, that's that. I am hopeful that I'll find my groove again here.

Baby Boy #3!

We are expecting baby boy #3 and since I documented a good amount of my pregnancies with the older two, I want to at least start off giving this one the same treatment! I am due May 25th, though he'll probably come around the 18th by c-section. We found out in my 18 week appointment that we were having a boy and I can honestly say I've been super excited since. With two older brothers already ruining, I mean running, the house, I'm happy to bring another boy into our crazy. This pregnancy will always be remembered by having to have my gall bladder removed at week 11. As soon as I hit 6 weeks I started having intense gall bladder pain. I've dealt with gall stones since Canon was born, but they were always singular events that would pass in about 4 hours, and this pain was consistent and all day/night long. The doctors I saw encouraged me to manage it with diet and hope to get to 16 weeks before discussing surgery. I tried everything, which pretty much meant eating noth...

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 ...
