4 CommentsBefore and Behind
When Mackenzie was six months old, we established a bed time routine with her that includes reading a Bible story, talking about the story, and praying together. For the last few nights, we’ve been reading about Jesus’ death and resurrection. Baby Bible stories are written to be incredibly brief, but Chris and I have kind...

4 CommentsBare Bottomed Baby
As Mackenzie grows, our cloth diapering adventures continue. I rarely (ever? never?) post pictures of Mackenzie without her diaper and some clothes on for privacy reasons. In fact, we’re pretty modest in general, and she is nearly always fully clothed, even at home. But today deserved – nay, required an exception. Mackenzie has been really...

No Comments{You Capture} Water
I haven’t posted for You Capture in quite a while, and I feel the urge to post something… different? more creative? here tonight. It’s been such a stressful week, and I want to post something just for fun. Nothing has been more fun lately than watching Mackenzie’s personality really develop. She loves to play. In...

No CommentsReprise
I’m rocking Mackenzie back to sleep and thinking about the day. This photo is from this morning. She was making goofy squinty-eyed-big-grin faces at me, but I couldn’t quite get a good picture. My silly girl. I am so thankful to everyone for the response to my post yesterday about our homeless house-guests. It was...

6 CommentsHomeless Houseguests
Helping the homeless seems like such a pure and innocent idea. It seems easy. Chris has always had a heart for homeless ministry, and until this week, helping them has been easy. A dollar to a Contributor distributor, a meal snd a gift card for a couple on the corner, donated creative services to help...

5 CommentsAtlanta Trip Recap
Our trip to Atlanta last weekend was really fun, in spite of us all having the Worst Summer Cold Ever. So much has happened this week, though, that I’m just now posting a little recap. We got into Atlanta around midnight on Friday and went straight to bed. The next morning we were up early,...

No CommentsZe Colds. Ve Haz Dem.
Mackenzie has a cold. (Confirmed by her pediatrician today. What can I say — baby coughs, and I want to take her in. This is my first time.) Now I have a cold, and Chris feels run down. Yay. Bah. There should be no such thing as a summer cold. Seriously. But we’re still leaving...

No CommentsHappy Birthday to My One and Only
Yesterday we celebrated my sweet husband’s 29th birthday. It was a grown-up, dad-of-an-infant kind of birthday, with dinner served quickly and sandwiched in between Mackenzie’s dinner and bedtime. For dessert I made dark chocolate brownies served with mint chocolate chip ice cream… which we ate leisurely (ha!) at the kitchen table, in between fussy baby...

4 CommentsHappy Eight Months!
Mackenzie is eight months old today! We set up a little photo shoot, took some pictures, and then ate watermelon to celebrate. I’ve had so many blog posts brewing in my head lately, but literally no time to write them down. I started an impossible Memorial Day project (again) on Friday, and I am desperately...
