Going Home with Trust

Finally down to the countdown of being back together as a family. Don't think that 20 days is a long time? It is. Ask me about the 20 days of being on meds to hold labor off. Ask me about the 20 days being apart from the best father in the world for my baby girl. It's a long time!
A couple thoughts for today... one of my favorite videos shows a man telling his wife that "home is where we are together"... I really feel that as Kimberly & I get ready to head to a 30 foot trailer on a reservation with cows wandering all over... we are heading home...because that is where Jason is. Watch the video here:
Thoughts on Love and Care

As for trust? It is what we heard this morning at Grace... All about trusting as God leads us into uncharted territory. God does this when it seems like the worst timing. Why? Because all of the glory belongs to Him as He accomplishes His work. Embarking on this journey of staying home & raising our family is such a blessing...with all of the fears that so often accompany changes. We are trusting the details & future to our Sovereign King!
Hear today's message here:
Jesus is Enough

What is God teaching you these days?

Wearing Em's old pjs...

She is enjoying time in the kitchen.

Does the look on my face tell you how I feel about shots?

Messy morning hair runs in the family.

Such a sweet family... wait! Kimby you belong with ME!!

She was listening to Grandpa Ed tell a story. LOVE this picture!

Baltic Amber Teething Necklaces

Baltic Amber Teething Necklaces intrigued me before Kimberly was born, but I never looked into them until she began drooling like crazy and turning irritable. After checking out a few websites and knowing several babies who wear the necklaces, we bought Kimberly one as soon as we could.
Next, I got myself one just because it seems like if I am going to have my daughter wearing amber, I should be too. She loves playing with the Amber Nursing Necklace that Crystal at Nature Baby Outfitter helped me pick out.
I don't have time to redocument the benefits, but if you are interested, here are a few links that I found helpful.
