  • A psalm for thought

    Psalm 28. Open your Bible and read it. Or google it.

    Blessed be the Lord!
    For He has heard the voice of my pleas for mercy.
    The Lord is my strength and my shield;
    In Him my heart trusts, and I am helped;
    My heart exults and with my song I give thanks to Him.
    Psalm 28:7

    This verse beats with my heart. How true this is many times over. Once we turn our lives over to our Savior, we are promised trials and tribulation. A test of faith? Absolutely. The old testament is littered with examples. I have had my share over the last few years and while these moments in time are not fully appreciated in their midst, hindsight screams thankfulness for each test. We serve a God worth trusting, and I am learning the “help” comes after the “trust”. Thank you God for your merciful nature and perfectly TRUE Word.

    The grass withers, the flower fades, but the Word of our God will stand forever.
    Isaiah 40:8

  • More catch up…October

    More catch up…October

    Wow, ok people, I have missed a lot. One thing I am learning, when you are +30 pounds, the last thing you want to do is look at pictures of skinnier days. Wow, I said it. Vain much? Here are some pics from October. I have to get better about posting stuff. I seriously looked back and forgot we did half the stuff we did.

    The small child playing kung fu ninja in my volvo has not let me forget about this surprise. 😉
    This picture is taken at 7:30 AM. Almost 6 months later and the first thing he puts on every single morning is STILL his A’s jersey.
     Off to celebrate our Birthday’s in San Fran.
     Apparantly the Giants are a big deal up in here. I think it was the world series or something. 

     My handsome man. 
     Shopping. What a shocker.

     Me eating a 100% raw organic lunch. I was hungry 34 minutes later and swore I would never eat healthy again.
     Eating again. Because that is what we do.

    Daddy’s girl. Hehe. 
    {flashforward to the nordstrom shoe department in about a year}
     Both my babies on Christmas Halloween.
     With our sweet friends twin girls….so precious! Halloween is entirely too much fun in our hood.

    Are your eyes bleeding yet? Happy October! 
  • September catch up…

    September catch up…

    Just found this draft….forgot to publish her.
    Whoa. HOW IS IT THE END OF NOVEMBER!?!?!? Can’t be happening. This house is treading water for spare time. Our September was a whirlwind. What happened you ask? Oh, I just turned 3-0. Yek. Still having issues with joining middleage. This last year has earned me 3 very odd gray hairs, a few extra gypsy hairs on my chin and some squint wrinkles. I also don’t bounce out of my chair with the same spring, it is more of a groan and rocking motion. I will share our September through some pics:

    First day of school:
    YM’s!
    Second first day of school:

    Sweet Wuich’s

    And then…..There is soccor. I get to brag here, I am proud of my little Stink. Homey is on fire. 

    His biggest fan.
    B’s 5th Bday party!

    Oh yes, and my Birthday. I turned the big 3-0, and had the MOST wonderful party thanks to my mom and sweet husband. I am surrounded by the best of the best. 🙂
    My sweet mom in law and mamabird.
    Warning, this is a pic overload, we tried to take pics of everyone, and well this is my bloggity blog, and I want to share the pics of some of the people who mean so much to Chad and I. I am SO thankful for all our amazing friends and family who have helped me through this last year, and who I have been blessed enough to share this life with. I love you ALL!!!! Thank you for being such an encouragement and source of support for me and my hubs. Big hugs and smooches.

    My sweet Aunt Dot
    AND, you made it! The end;)

  • Getting Personal

    Hello 3rd Trimester….Oh, how I thought you would never come. 27 weeks deep and we are alive! Woohoo. This last week was a bad one, but other than that, I have to say we have been blessed with a great pregnancy. The baby/ me-who takes ownership of this anyway? has single umbilical artery which was good reminder that healthy pregnancies are a gift. Most of these cases are fine, a few end up delivering early due to growth issues which I believe we will be doing anyway.

    To answer the question of the hour: YES, we are planning to do permanent sterilization. A LOT of people seem very interested in the future olympics of our reproductive parts. Sadly, shop is closed. While I would love another and then probably another, I believe we need to be good stewards of what we have been given. And I don’t think I, as a mom, could give much more of my health away. This pregnancy was a huge surprise. And scary in many ways if I am being honest. We are still praying about exactly what to do, because it is hard to say in one breath, I trust you God with everything, but not with this. I still struggle with whether or not it is a sin issue on my behalf of wanting to control things, or if we are in fact being good stewards by preventing….it is hard. It is a hard thing to make a final call on when we both want to seek God’s will and haven’t been given a total peace with it all. We both feel like this last week was more than we could handle, or pass off to someone should I have to go through another surgery/ hospital visit/ chronic headache. So there it is.

    Lastly, thank you to all of you who have been praying for me this last week. God has given me relief, so huge praise. Huge praise for our wonderful parents who drop EVERYTHING to care for us. We are blessed blessed blessed, and thankful, thankful, thankful. There are so many prayer requests that I am consumed with-it just seems as though it all comes at once. We have so many hurting friends, and we hurt with you. My heart is heavy. I love you sweet friends.
