Life lately and a 2 month old baby.


November is almost half-way through. What? How did that happen?! Life is going so quickly these days. I think life with kids is like that. "The days are long but the years are short." I like that. Life with two has been a bit of a learning curve for me, but it is good. So good. I am tired and my hair isn't usually washed or done, but there is so much sweetness and beauty in this season.  These little boys teach me, humble me, and show me how real God's grace is. I am grateful. 

Adam is back at it.  Working full-time at Western, working part-time for our church and he started his last year (woohoo!) of Seminary this fall. I am so proud of that man. I cannot believe he is graduating this Spring (with his Masters of Divinity)! He has been a student our entire marriage, so I am so excited to begin this new phase of our lives.

Haddon is two months old today. I can't believe it. The last two months of my pregnancy were the longest two months of my life and these have gone by so quickly. Haddon is wonderful. We absolutely adore that little boy. He is sweet and tender and so content (most of the time). Elliot loves him so much... It's so sweet to see his love and concern for his baby brother so early on. 

Elliot is changing so much. I feel like everyday he says or does something new, and each time it melts my heart. He is funny and caring and so, so energetic ;). He is talking a lot and communicating pretty well. He is OBSESSED with cars. I mean, really. That's usually all he talks about and if he isn't, you can bet he will be soon. 

My good friend took some pictures of Haddon the other day when we went over there. They are so simple and sweet. I love them. 




Also, our family may possibly have the opportunity to do something so, so awesome this coming January. We are potentially (with the partnership of several other families and churches) going to join a team in revitalizing a church in our area! This has been something we have been praying through for over a year now and we are officially finding out in the next few weeks if it is something that is going to happen. If you think of it, please pray for this work that God is doing, pray for our family, and pray for those who are joining with us. We are excited and we are nervous, but we are trusting Jesus.
