Sweet Relief

Harrison walks up to Sophie this morning and says, " ahna" ( korean for hug) THEN they gave each other the biggest bear hug!!

6 months ago, I would have paid a million bucks to see that spontaneous interaction!! So thankful it is something we are seeing more and more of!! It sure is the desire of this mommies heart!!

Date Night!!

Last night, our small group did not meet. Brandon and I decided, on a whim, to call it a date night. It was much needed and greatly enjoyed!!

I spent some quality time with Sophie before we left...



We had the sitter arrive at 5 and returned around 10:30!


Brandon got a convertible from work and that made it so fun!!

We had a yummy dinner at Outback, stops at Target and Old Navy, a walk at the park, and ended with the hysterical movie What to Expect When You're Expecting!!



Every time we take time for us, it reminds me how very important it is!!

I'll leave you with a text from our sitter a few hours in, " I'm pretty sure Soph was just running around with your underwear on her head!"
And then a picture from her stay...

Mothers Day 2012

I am beyond thankful to be entrusted the title of mommy to these 3.



This picture just screams Ephesians 3:20...Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than we can ask or imagine...

I'm not sure I've ever felt more challenged and in need of God and His grace and wisdom in my life, but I'm pretty sure that seasons like these cultivate the most fruit if we so allow it!! Praying I can do just that... Allow it!
