365 Project; week 25

Here it is! The 25th week of 2013.  Boy, sometimes the days go by so slowly, but the weeks and months fly.  Why is that?

After several weeks of blissful, we have passed into a valley of sorts in our household.  I have no idea what went wrong, but ever since we got home from Connecticut, Seth has plunged this house into a tons-of-crying, very-little-napping, not-very-nice place to be.  I've written about it in more detail previously, but this is largely why my photos have dropped off considerably.  Seth is rarely in a good mood anymore, and for that matter neither am I; at least not a mood that makes me want to take a photo.  Please pray for us if you think of it.  On my good days, I do my best to cast these difficulties at my Master's feet and leave them there.  On my bad days, well...it's very very hard.  Like the driving-me-crazy kind of hard. That said, here's week 25.

Blurry, yes, but my point was to show how Seth sits a lot of the time: one foot forward, one foot back.  So he's ready for whatever direction life takes him!


And his favorite direction these days is up!  Seth pulls up on anything he can, even the toilet bowl rim.  *Shudder*


Noah does this to his animals almost every morning when he comes out of his room.  Guess his animals don't get much sleep with him. :)  P.S. This was my stuffed dog when I was a little girl.  His name is Peanut Butter, and he's still very much alive and well. 


Deep in the middle of a game of Chess.


Love bare feet in grass!


Daisy usually isn't too far away when we're outside.  


Take Your Son To Work Day.  Aka: Let Mommy Mop The Floor Without Help Day.  Depending on who you are. :)


Can you see the two teeth on the bottom?  Infant teeth are very hard to photograph!

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&#
