"Commit everything you do to the Lord.

Trust him, and he will help you."

Psalm 37:5

Weekend Loves

In an effort to keep up with Levi she brushes her 6 teeth twice a day.

A few fabulous links...

: : Stephan, are you reading? I want one of these....in pale blue. M'kay?

: : For a few years now, I've been debating about what kind of Advent calendar to make. The inspiration list has been narrowed down to these. Number 1 and Number 4 are especially lovely.

: : This has made my mornings simpler lately.

: : Some cute printable lacing cards.

: : Ten great ideas for those days (or months) when you feel too tired to play with your kids.

: : In previous years we've just painted our pumpkins. I'm not sure I'm ready for knife wielding and seed scooping this year, buuuuut if I was, I'd do this.

Happened upon any good links lately?

A Whole, Entire Year

A year has passed since Sophia graced us with her arrival.

If you're into birth stories (especially the homebirth vbac kind) you can read hers here.

The day before her birth we went to the park feeling like we had all the time in the world.

But, not even a whole 24 hours later and she was in our arms...

Those first weeks were so sweet. I can say that now since the memories of milk blisters and afterbirth pains have faded into the background. It's moments like these that have made their way to the forefront...

And, now she's a year old. A whole, entire year. Goodness.

She's independent and spirited.
She's not so into cuddling, but she loves kisses....a lot.
Mama's milk is still her favorite, but she's also pretty crazy about watermelon.
She thinks she's big.
She wrestles with Levi and calls him "Bwu-bwu".
She's such a little daddy's girl.

What can I say? We're totally in love with her.

Happy First Birthday, Sweet Sophia!
