Upcoming Changes

Nothing major but I think I need to change the settings on this blog.  I want it to be more private for a couple of reasons.  First, I love posting my kids pictures and I love for my friends and family to see them but that's all the people that I want seeing them.  Second, I feel a burning need to write more of my thoughts and feelings about life, ministry, motherhood, etc and feel the need for privacy in these matters.     If you follow my blog and want to continue to read it, please, please let me know and I'll make sure you are "hooked up".   Just send me your email address to me or to my inbox on facebook or leave it in the comment section.
Thanks for understanding.

Poor sick baby girl

Finally asleep!!!!

Siblings

Abby loves Silas and tries so hard to take care of him.  "Sis crying" (handing me his paci).   "Okay" (short for it's going to be okay).  

Silas adores his big sister Abby.  He lights up whenever she is around and his eyes follow her.  

I can't wait for them to be able to play together. Abby tries though.

Silas 4 Month Photo Shoot

My adorable son at 4 months.  Indulge me while I show him off a bit.   His smile lights up the room.

Does that look remind you of anyone?

My three favorite faces!

Propped up because he's sick and having a hard time breathing....poor baby.

Trifle

This is one of my absolute favorite desserts...both to make and to eat. There are so many variations on this basic theme. This one has pound cake, whip cream and pudding and berries. Of course, I only make these for special occasions or for company. I tend to get carried away and make a ton! This one is completely healthy because of the berries :)

Just life

Abby got her first skinned knee on Saturday afternoon. She was running outside in loose shoes and fell on the rocks (we have NO grass, just rocks). She wasn't terribly hurt; more just liked saying and showing her "owie"

This is my new purse. It's my very first "expensive purse" all leather, etc. It's small enough that I can put it in the diaper bag when I am out with kids or carry it with me if I am out by myself. I only paid 25% of the price though. It was 25% off, then someone gave me a gift card for the store, and I was left with only a small balance. It's such a fun color but I am struggling with feeling committed to green. The store clerk said that if I chose green it meant I was down to earth....well, that's true so maybe I'll keep it.

Sweet Silas on his way to dreamland. Tomorrow he will be 4 months old!

Didn't make the cut

Our heads a little bit cut off

In transit

Abby pushed the button and the zoom went closer also focusing on the tree instead of us.
