Today is the last day before Hezekiah turns one year old. I just laid him down for bed, after reading his three favorite books (Where's Spot, Goodnight Moon and Who Goes Roar?). He laid down without a peep because he's such a little angel baby, and now I'm sitting on my couch eating chocolate chip [...]

Ten Months!
Hezekiah is ten months old (I had to count back the months to double check). We love this little guy! I'm sure we say it every month, but he is just such a blessing. This month he experienced his first halloween, his first trip to his mama's favorite coffee shop (that isn't starbucks —ha!), his [...]
A trip to the park, a disco ball helmet & other things I’ve really enjoyed this past month.
Fall has arrived! I've loved pulling out my oversized sweaters, snuggling under a blanket and watching the leaves fall. Just kidding, it's still the never-ending summer. I did wear sweatpants the other day (inside our air-conditioned apartment), and we also can catch the Thursday night football game on Friday mornings! The closest I've gotten to [...]
A (very late) udpate!
Woe is me. I had a whole blog all typed up and that blog was deleted because I neglected to save it. This does not excuse the very lengthy amount of time since I last posted, but I'm still going to use it as an excuse, ha! These past few months have absolutely flown by! [...]
“Because I live, you also will live.”
These are words that Jesus speaks to his disciples to comfort them before he is crucified. I can only imagine the fear and uncertainty that is running through their minds as Jesus talks about how he will die very soon. I can (to a much, much lesser degree) relate it to my first days of [...]
This month in pictures!
And just like that, June is over! What a great month it has been. I figured I'd write a little update including all of the adventures that happened this last month (nothing too fancy). Updating my blog is one of my favorite things to do. It usually includes sitting at Starbucks (who would've guessed?) while [...]
Hez does a craft!
I don't know if it's the fact that I grew up with an elementary teacher as a mother, or the fact that I loved babysitting, summer camp and all things craft- but I have been looking forward to doing crafts with Hez for a long time. I'm not really sure if you can even call [...]
Five months?!
Yesterday Hez turned five months! I think I'm going to be one of those moms that throws their child an over the top six-month-old birthday party. Will you judge me? Oh well. I wish I could tell you some fun facts like how much he weighs, or how big his head is but I don't [...]
Last week (or two) in pictures!
I have failed you all, as I have completely forgotten to be more intentional about taking pictures. Oh well... life is busy and that's okay! Here are some highlights from the past couple of weeks: We got to celebrate my 26th birthday! The day just happened to land on our off day, and so we [...]
Chef Ana & her week in pictures.
What a week, what a week! Again, it has been a busy week. I can't believe we have lived in SE Asia for two months! I have officially lived here longer than any other country besides the US. Here's my weekly photo dump: This week ended with a day dedicated to spending some time [...]
