365 Project; week 34

Well, Noah started school last week, a fact that became more evident when I reviewed my photos; only ONE day's worth of  photos of Noah for the whole week!  I'll have to fix that this coming week.  In the meantime, it is mostly just Seth and me at home these days and these photos reflect that.


This is my view all. the. time.  Seth is never far from me, and is happiest when he's on my hip or by my feet.  He often crawls up behind me and pulls up on my legs, just like this.  Trying to get supper cooked with a munchkin strapped to my legs is not easy and usually takes twice as long!


 Driving home from church on Wednesday night, we saw the full moon gorgeously lighting up the sky.  In real life it was more orange than it showed up in the photo.


And sometimes you just need a tea break.  Constant Comment is delectable (and if Noah were a tea, that would be his name! Ha!) and has been my tea of choice lately. 


Seth loves to touch his hair while he eats, which results in this.  Banana Pomade, anyone?


Date night!  Praise the Lord for Josh's parents who are in town and volunteered to watch Noah and Seth for us so we could go out.  It is nice to have an adult conversation over a dinner which you don't have to cut into teensy tiny pieces every once in a while!


Seth and Luke, cousins born 3 months apart, just chillin in the nursery.


Seth had his 9 month check-up!  His size is starting to even out with other babies his age, which is a relief to me.  He's now 23 lbs and 29.5" long, which puts him in the 75th percentile for weight and 90th for height.  That's much better than "off the charts", which is what I heard last time!


Seth pushing his own stroller; much better than riding!


Noah at the first soccer practice of the season!  He is on a new team this season because he was too old to be on the previous team.  11 days too old!  He just missed the cutoff, so now he is in the Under 8 age group.  He still does love soccer!!

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&#
