Life Lately

I know my blog posts have been so infrequent that I doubt many of you are still following. For those of you that are, I really appreciate your interest in keeping up with our family! I am hoping to get back into documenting some of our fun milestones on here now that we are a family of 5! But today my heart is in a different place. My sweet baby celebrated his half birthday just the other day and we will be forever grateful for his life and the joy that he has brought us! We have loved every day he has been here. He is truly a blessing! He is just what we all needed; a sweet, cuddly, laid back baby! He came into this world with an easy delivery and has been easy on his Momma and Daddy ever since! That being said, life has been hard over the last 6 months. I have had a series of health issues spanning from simple little hiccups like pink eye to a 5 day stint in the hospital to receive IV steroids. Currently I am sporting a real live eye patch (upping my cool status as a boy mom). It has been hard and I have craved community while struggling with having to admit I don't have it all together. In this world of peppy Facebook statuses and text messaging, I long for community that happens face to face (eye patch and all). My sweet husband has been amazing and those who I have opened up to have been more than willing to help! It encourages me to be more vulnerable, which has always been a really scary place for me. Will you pray with me that the Lord will continue to draw me to this place and carry our family through whatever is to come? Thank you for loving us so well!
