My Hard Working Man

Every now and then I gotta brag on this guy and it's long overdue!
When we discussed moving to NC one of the big things was that Tim was going to have to be our primary source of income. This was a big deal for us both. Tim had never been responsible for the financial outcome of us all by himself before! However he was happy to take on this responsibility and proud to be in a position to do so :) 

As a little girl I wanted to be home raising and homeschooling my kids like my mom while my husband worked to provide for us. Now that dream has changed and altered in many ways over the years. In the end I'm thrilled to be home with my babies and proud of my hardworking husband for supporting us!
I'm not the only one who is proud of him! Asher talks about his daddy all the time and brags about the things he can do :) It reminds me of how I felt about my dad as a kid. I thought he was better than anyone else's dad because he worked with his hands and could seemingly fix anything. The Michael & Son commercial is always on the radio or TV but each and every time Asher hears is he jumps out of his seat shouting excitedly and sings along with every word of their jingle. It warms my heart to see him so proud of his daddy! :)
Not only is he hard working and providing for our family but he makes time for the fun stuff too! A few weeks ago we took the kids to the skate park where Tim worked with Asher to teach him to skateboard, of course Asher was on top of the world :)


Tim's littlest fan never has to compete for his attention, she looks for it and he drops everything. Just like a movie when Tim walks through the door at the end of the day, Laila lights up with excitement and rushes to meet him! When he scoops her up she snuggles into his chest and pats his back or tucks her arms in against him. It's so sweet to see her loving on her daddy :) Of course he eats it up!
Tim makes my life complete, he is what I'm not and fills in the gaps. I never would have picked him out of a crowd and I'm so glad I didn't try! I am grateful to have what many people wish they could, we are best friends and genuinely enjoy each other's company. I can't wait until the end of the day when he walks through that door, after Laila, it's my turn :)

Whom Shall I Fear?

I have been learning a lot about myself over the last 6 months through the sermons at church, it's amazing what is revealed when you are genuinely challenged! Some things I knew, like I worry too much. Other things I had no idea, that I fear man more than God. "And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both body and soul in hell." Matthew 10:28 As Pastor Chad said, "Jesus is NOT your homeboy." Over the last week I've found myself wondering what others would think of something I had to share and how it would be received. It made me very aware of how much I care what others think. In our world we are taught to be politically correct, don't offend anyone. But Jesus was very offensive, we are supposed to be like Jesus. Standing up for what is right regardless of what people think. If we could all do that it would be a different world.

Feeling sentimental and Making a Mess!

What have I been up to? See the title of this post.. Last week was Asher's last few days of Kindergarten. I finally understand why all the moms feel all the feels those last few days their babies are in school. Not only was my baby becoming a FIRST GRADER (I'm way too young to have a first grader, for serious) but they were his last days in public school. We're HOMESCHOOLING for first grade and beyond! I am excited and nervous to start on this journey, we enjoyed our public school experience for the most part and I know homeschooling is going to be a lot on me but it's what's right for us :) About the mess making part, I've gotten back into my quilting projects and LOVING it. It turns out I'm not the only one, I have a few orders from friends for their own "Made with Love" quilts! I get excited all over again each time I purchase new fabric.. So I buy a little at a time to keep myself going ;) Finding complimentary fabric for some I already have g...

The Hard Part

Genevieve Taylor Labor finally started on Thursday 9/22 after a few false alarms over the previous weeks where I had regular yet inconsistent contractions for hours. I went to bed feeling them but had experienced that so many times before I didn’t think it was real, by 3am I couldn’t sleep through them anymore so I grabbed my phone to time them and see if there was any pattern, They were 3-5 minutes apart and a minute long but the intensity of them was still fairly mild. I got up and moved around, drank some water, ate some eggs and the contractions changed but didn’t stop. I decided to give my midwives a heads up as I was also experiencing some bleeding. Because of the bleeding they decided to come over and check things out around 6am. It was so exciting, it seemed the baby was finally coming! As I watched them set up all the supplies in my room, Tim calling into work to let them know he wouldn’t be in and contractions growing stronger it seemed my baby would be there within the day! ...
