9 Month Check-Up & Pics.

It was time, once again, to take Haley to the Pediatrician for a check-up.  I love paying a $25 co-pay to have someone measure my kid for me.  I know he is checking on a lot more than that, but I just like to hear myself complain.  

We are finally getting the hang of the whole doctors visit thing.  It seems as if when you pick a day in which you are the first appointment, you don't have to wait forever.  The first time we took her in, we waited an hour past her appointment time to even go back to the room and waited another hour back in the room to see him.  

So our appointment was early, but we got right in.  She is progressing well.  She is about 20lbs. and 28 inches long.  She is in the 75th percentile for both her height and weight.  No shots this time and we opted out of the flu shot.  

I heard her singing during nap time, checked on her and found that she is now pulling up on  her crib (and biting the rails, which I am not sure how to stop).  I told her to lay down and take a nap and she pointed and laughed at me.  

She also pulls herself up in the bathtub.  

And wouldn't lay still during her check-up

75th percentile of perfectly proportionate chunkiness.  I wish fat rolls looked as good on me as they do on her.  & Dad of course can't take his eyes off her long enough to take a picture.  He is pretty crazy about her.  

She follows me around.  

And she's a great sport when I take her shopping...

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...

Should I Stay or Should I Go

At the time, deciding to leave felt like the most agonizing part of the whole ordeal. In hindsight, a few years of prayer journals were filled with distressing agony over desiring direction and reconciliation.  So much turmoil and emotional pain all the time. But we were constantly told that was to be expected. Hard was good. Hard truths. And iron sharpening iron. But in reality, We were all enduring death by a thousand paper-cuts. In reality, it was spiritual abuse.  In July of 2022, I sat in a lawn chair in California. It felt like a million miles from home.  We had been traveling the US, and hadn’t been home in weeks. I sat there, eating my bowl of chili.  As wonderful as the trip has been, I started to miss home. In my reflections. I counted my blessings. Home was good. Except one thing, I had a sense of dread when I thought about church. My chest would go tight. And my body felt shaky. I craved Jesus. I craved worship. I craved devotion. Being in God’s creation,...

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 ...
