7 Month Owen










Owen's 7th Month
  • Owen is still breastfeeding and eating oatmeal mixed with breast-milk.  He is doing fabulous with eating.  He is pretty excited about this baby food stuff but it secretly makes me sad. 
  • Owen is sleeping through the night most nights.  
  • He is napping 2 times a day
  • He got another tooth (top. but not in the middle)
  • He is rolling over, and I think he is getting close-ish to crawling.  He WANTS to crawl so bad.  Because he is working hard, I keep him out of the jumperoo and let him play on the floor for the most part.
  • He is not sitting on his own yet, but getting close. 
  • He is getting more vocal.
  • Total mamas boy and I LOVE that. 
  • He will now cry if I leave the room or if he drops a toy.
  • He loves to grab on to my face. hair, etc.
  • He likes to put his hand in my mouth.
  • Owen is super easy going.
How the rest of us are doing
  • Life is normalizing.  Not so much an adjustment.  I am getting use to lugging two kids around, can't remember much what it was like before.
  • The house is not as clean, but that is okay from what I am told.  Laundry sits in the dryer or in baskets longer than it use to.  Not so much because of Owen, but because Haley doesn't nap.  It s hard to get stuff done when she never naps....I miss naptime.
  • Summer has been great.  Just enjoying it all, wishing time would SLOW DOWN some.  
  • Ian had a week off, we spent most of it at the lake.

Fruit & Root Connection: Tangled Up

Certainly, I've expressed my aversion to hyper-spiritualized language before. It often feels contrived, lacking authenticity—a facade of piety. Perhaps it's projection. Maybe jealousy. Or it could stem from a sense of disillusionment with the Christian community. But every so often, amidst the noise, a truth resonates deeply. "There is a root and fruit connection between heart and behavior. People and situations do not determine our behavior; these things provide an occasion where our behavior reveals our hearts." - Instruments in the Redeemer's Hands I've been navigating through my anger, confronting myself in the mirror. What does this anger unveil about my own heart? Surely, they aren't as enraged with me. In fact, they probably don't spare me a second thought. If anything, they—as sincerely as they can muster—bemoan my status as an apostate. So pitiful. My fruit is anger. And too often, I'm tempted to point fingers elsewhere as the source of my...

If Your Happy and You Know it Clap Your Hands....

Alright y'all, I need to post an actual blog post.  It's been awhile.I guess I have said " writers block".  Everytime I've sat down to blog, I've gotten this nasty attitude, like I just want to rant and complain.  I'm not a fan of giving a bad mood more than it deserves or letting people get on my nerves enough that it bleeds in my blog in the most passive-aggressive way possible.  So I won't go there this time.  Focusing on what I'm thankful for has been such a great practice, and has helped me avoid the above.  So here goes nothing.....I'll update a little bit on everthing I suppose.... Finally, life is beginning to slow down.I am so appreciative of the fact that the moving/settling in process is over ( only to do it all again in T minus 5 months....) In theory, there should be a big hole where our next house will be soon. For some reason I doubt that they will break ground this week, but I would be happy if they did...I'm stressed and ...

Never Say When

At some point in my journey, I forgot that church leaders are flawed humans too. I have a tendency to overly respect authority for the sake of their position. I assumed, being a pastor meant that there is some how a higher spiritual connection. Consequently, I would turn off my own discernment in favor for whatever I was being instructed to do by our church leader. The person I have grown to distrust the most and the person I betrayed the most was myself.  Examples: Early in our journey, we had a small group. For the most part, I LOVED small group nights. Until we had a change of seasons. I had just had my third baby. We were living in a rental property while renovating another home ourselves. I was working on leading our developing children's ministry and feeling over my head. Ian worked afternoons so either small group would take one of only two family nights or would be when he was working, leaving me to attend alone most of the time. Our small group had roughly 10-15 small chil...
