where we're at

 it is already the middle of november. i dont know how that happened but here we are. waiting for out new and exciting life to begin:) we sent out our support letters to some friends and family and our home churches last month and are starting to see responses which is super cool. there is really nothing like having people back you up with their friendship and their prayers and their money. yesterday we had a relative tell us she had been praying for us to have the opportunity to go into ministry for a while now. isnt that crazy? that before we knew what God wanted from us he had people praying for us to figure it out:) most of the people we tell are super excited for us and think camp is the perfect fit for us. its a really awesome time in our lives... BUT.. its also been a struggle in that we now know WHERE and WHAT we're going to do with our lives, but the WHEN is still up in the air. please be praying for us to be able to raise our funds for camp quickly and get up there and JUMP in to our new calling. and if you havent received a letter and would like one just drop us an email and let us know!

surviving colic

we always say that our first baby was cake. everything was easy with A- she loves to eat and eats well. she slept through the night at 6 weeks old and has been doing it ever since. she was potty trained, through the night and in big girl underpants 24 hours a day at 25 months. she is smiley and friendly and just goes with the flow. so we knew in the back of our minds that no baby can compete with that:) and that our second would be more challenging.  ha. we never could have prepared for W. from the moment he was born, at 9 lbs 6 oz he has been full of surprises. he didnt cry for like 2 minutes, 2 of the longest minutes of my life. the nurse was on the phone with the nicu. and i couldnt see him. and all i wanted was to hear this baby i had worked so hard for cry so i could hold him. and then he did.  the next day they told us he had to pee within 24 hours of his circumcision so that they knew everything was working properly. of course he didnt do that so they sent him to the n...

mommy mush

last night i am trying to get our almost 5 month old son to stop fussing and go to sleep so that I can go to sleep, when suddenly i have one of those moments that for some reason you know you will always remember. its just about pitch black in our room. i am snuggling wy against my chin and collarbone (such a good spot:)) and just like that he closes his eyes and falls asleep. i pray for my sweet little boy and the great man he will become. and despite the exhaustion only a parent with an infant can understand, i am just instantly filled with mushy mommy feelings- its so incredible how babies know their mommies. how wyatt knows me. he cant see me, im not making a sound, he just knows its me by smell and by feel. only mommy loves him and holds him and soothes him this way.  only mommy. only ME.  i love him so much. i kiss his soft sweet little wrinkled forehead. his weight feels so good on me, that i am almost sad to put him down. almost. i mean give me a break, i havent sl...

what Jesus wants us to do

Romans 6 Dead to Sin, Alive to God   1  What shall we say then?  Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound?  2  By no means! How can  we who died to sin still live in it?  3  Do you not know that all of us  who have been baptized  into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?  4  We were  buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as  Christ was raised from the dead by  the glory of the Father, we too might walk in  newness of life.   5  For  if we have been united with him in  a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his.  6  We know that  our old self  was crucified with him in order that  the body of sin might be brought to nothing, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin.  7  For  one who has died  has been set free from sin.  8  Now  if we hav...
