Last weekend my sister and I did some Christmas shopping together. It was so nice to spend time with her! She is definitely one-of-a-kind and has such a vibrant, fun personality. Mckenna is a social butterfly, outgoing and talkative….while I’m shy, pretty timid, and I don’t talk a lot. Ha! She is so confident and I think that will benefit her as she goes through high school (she starts high school next year! What!) We are nine years apart, and although I’ll always see her as my little sister…I’m proud of the gal she’s growing up to be ;) Oh but back to the shopping… (we’re really good at that by the way) …we got a lot done and found some good deals! That’s always a plus. And we even stopped to take a few pictures….
…bahaha! Hopefully we won’t be too embarrassed by these pictures 10 years from now ;)
…Love ya Kenz!

Jesus, help me to see beauty in the mundane because today, I don’t see it. Help me to see that this ordinary day is a gift from you, and may I not waste it. You have given me a purpose and you have a plan for my life even when I don’t always understand it. I’m walking on this path you have laid out for me, knowing full well that you are leading me every step of the way. I don’t want to take these ordinary days for granted, but instead embrace them and live them out the best that I can. Help me to see Your grace in these quiet times, the moments that no one sees. And may I see the small things more fully, knowing they are all working together for a purpose. A higher purpose. Thank you for this ordinary day. May I treasure it and see your glory in and through it, because it is a gift.

…was wonderful. I meant to take more pictures, but I really didn’t take many at all. Which is kinda nice because it just means I was enjoying the amazing food and time with family. :) There is so much to be thankful for this year, so much.
I hope that you had a blessed Thanksgiving as well! Much love.

This little guy brings me so much joy.
His big personality, smiles, and little kisses bring light into my life.
So very thankful to be his momma!

Yesterday I started packing up the office (soon to be nursery) and putting away some photography things. The canvases that I wanted to hang. The nice and “pretty” office space I had made for myself. And then we started talking about moving my “nice” furniture out of our sunroom (eeek! my favorite part of our house) so that we could make room for a play room. That room was one I really didn’t want to change but with the toys slowly piling up, it just made sense. Slowly changing the nice parts of the house that I loved into areas that are more practical, I guess. Not exactly what I had in mind but I’m finding this to be happening more often than not….bending, being flexible, and surrendering. All for good, of course :) It’s just a different season….of laying down expectations….even expectations of what our house should look like or the way I’d want them to look like. Maybe I’ll put those house decorating magazines on the shelves for a few more years and just enjoy this time living and making things useful for our growing family. To everything there is a season.

We’ve made it!! Week 20. Half way there! I feel like this has all been going by super fast, but I think it’s because I have a toddler preoccupying my mind this time around. I’ve also noticed that at 20 weeks, I look about how I did at 30 weeks with Leland. AH! But I’m not too worried, I hear it’s normal so all is well. We ordered a crib today, along with a mobile from etsy (the cutest thing ever!) and have started sorting through some of Leland’s baby clothes. Having another boy is quite nice when it comes to using the same things over again :) One thing I’ve found about being pregnant in the fall/winter is…it’s kind of hard to make your wardrobe work for very long like in the summer. At least for me! I’ve been debating buying a winter coat….actually, I did buy one but the look on Jay’s face when I tried it on for him made me never want to put it on again. (Let’s just say he looked at me and said “You belong with the Amish.”) Baha. Anyway…I’m so very thankful and excited for what is to come. Here’s to 20 or so more weeks!
