home

home sweet home.
our little family of 5 is settling in at home.
after a beautiful and healthy arrival of baby jane, we have spent the last few days balancing the incredible joy of our new baby alongside some crazy high fevers, emotional kiddos and a car accident.

jane & i with fevers and antibiotics after delivery.
ella battling a nasty virus with crazy high fever.
bennett wishing little sister was a brother and missing his mama.
an incredibly scary car accident for wes & the kids on the way to pick-up jane & i at the hospital.

 the girls' fevers have passed.
bennett adores his sister and has transitioned well into his role as big brother.
we are beyond grateful that the kids and wes are okay after the accident (see below).
joy...exhaustion...praise.
home sweet home.

note:  on the way to hospital to pick-up jane & i to come home, the kids and wes were in a car accident.  an elderly man blacked out and drove into wes' lane hitting them head-on.  simultaneously a car hit them from the rear.  crazy scary...a totaled vehicle...but everyone was okay (thank you jesus)...just really shaken up and a wee sore.

expecting


i thought i'd have a little bundle in my arms by now...but alas i'm still expecting.
anxiously expecting the arrival of our little boy or girl.

feeling incredibly torn between being frustrated that he or she is not yet here and that my body is playing lots of tricks on me - yet grateful for more time to prepare our home, hearts and children for the arrival.

monster mash



monster slime & monster mash with my little monsters!


water, glue, borax, glitter, googly eyes...instant monsters.

  who would have thought that goo could look so friendly?


the kids loved it even more when we let them put the slime all over the windows...


 i wonder if they'll like it just as much when i make them clean it off today?
