365 Project; week 6

I've been doing this 365 Project for about a month now, and so far I love it!  What better way to remember life than to take at least one photo every day?  I miss a day now and then, but other days I more than make up for it.  So here you go: week 6!


Sometimes you just gotta!  After almost 3 months of trying in vain to squeeze myself into my regular clothes, I'd had enough.  I am now within 2 lbs of my pre-pregnancy weight, but things got redistributed somehow, and my jeans were rebelling.  Buttoning them was out of the question, so I did what any normal woman would do...I went shopping!  I hit a consignment store one morning and walked out an hour later with these finds.  Every single item fits, and I love each and every one.  Way to perk up a girl who's feeling frumpy! :)


I love that living in Florida means we can play outside all winter long!


Mt. Washmore.  I used to have a great routine; Monday was Laundry Day.  Enter Seth.  Now it seems Every Day is Laundry Day.  This makes me very thankful for washing machines and dryers, which do all the work for me!


Crayon melting!  A fun way to spend an afternoon. 



Saturday was a church work-day.  Here are 4 of the men working on tear-out in the future auditorium.  It's a blessing to work together as a church family toward a common goal.

Sweetheart Dinner with our church family at Maggiano's.  Oh. My.  The food was fanTAStic!  We would  definitely like to go back!  The fellowship was sweet too.



Seth and I made a trip to the pediatrician to evaluate why he creates so much laundry. :)  He spits up countless times a day, to the point that it wakes him up from naps, and even in the night.  It's copious and often and just plain GROSS!  I suspected Reflux, so we went to have him evaluated.  The doctor gave us a trial prescription for Zantac, so hopefully soon he will be better.  If not, we are to assume it's a case of eating too much. He now weighs 15 lbs, 14oz, so you figure some of it has to be staying down! :)

Resolving Everyday Conflict

If you've ever been asked to lead a discussion or teach about a certain spiritual discipline, you can be sure that the Lord will lovingly bring just that exact topic to the forefront in your own life. He'll graciously put your ugly sinful tendencies "right on Front Street," as my good friend Dara likes to say. This is grace! This is God's kindness to reveal sinful tendencies in our own hearts so that we can repent, seek renewed relationship with God and others, and be used of Him. Here is a story about one such evidence of God's grace to me. Josh and I were late to our small group last night. Oh, we were there . We had technically arrived on time, but we remained in the parking lot of the neighborhood's clubhouse for over 45 minutes before we were able to walk in holding hands. Much later in the evening, on our way home from Grace Group, Eden begged to be the one to fill the boys in on why we were late (the boys had driven separately from a soccer practice

The Hand of God

 I am in Scotland. S C O T L A N D. This is me; Joanna, the one whose comfort zone is within about one square mile, who said she never wanted to leave the USA, who hates to travel on anything public, who nearly hyperventilates at the mere mention of airplanes. How is this possible that I am here? Only by God's grace. Every step in front of the other, every long line, every minute on those airplanes was enabled by God's grace. On my end, it wasn't always pretty--usually it was very ugly--and I may have said, "I can't do this" more times than we could count (Josh had to tell me to quit saying that), but God was faithful to me and I have a really great story about one such miracle to share with you, but for perspective and contrast I have to share a really ugly story first. Here goes:  We dropped off our rental car in Dublin about 11am, and had to ride a shuttle bus back to the Dublin airport to catch our 1:10pm "quick" flight over to Edinburgh, Scotlan

The Whole Truth

Our cat, Willow, has kittens periodically. By periodically I mean about 2-3 times a year, and we don't hate it. We actually enjoy guessing when her due date is, how many kittens there will be, what they will look like, etc. Then when she has them, well, is there anything cuter than kittens? But sooner or later, 8 weeks later to be exact, it's time for those kittens to go. At that time we will put an ad on Craigslist and find homes for each and every one. This brings the fun hassle of sending people additional pictures, telling them again how much we are charging (that was in the ad!), setting up potential meetings with people who will ghost at the last minute, after we've already given them our address. Everyone should put an ad on Craigslist at least once just for the experience. Should you finally get someone who likes the look of a kitten, wants to pay the price, can meet at an agreeable time, successfully finds your house, is okay with the fact that the kittens haven&#
