Born Yesterday

by Alison on March 31, 2011

She’s here & we’re home! (phone pic…) Faith Anna (we finally decided on a name!) was born at 5:08 yesterday morning (3/30).  She is just perfect and so precious, and we are abounding in thankfulness, (as well as sleepiness). She weighed in at 9 lbs. 2 oz. and measured 22″, and believe it or not, [...]

My Counting Continues

by Alison on March 28, 2011

My waiting continues, today marks 40 weeks and 3 days.  I was tempted to stay home from church yesterday, honestly, I was.  I always go past my due date, and people always try to make conversation with questions like, “No baby yet?”, “Still pregnant, eh?”, “Getting anxious for baby yet?” I know they mean well, [...]

A Sunday Song

by Alison on March 27, 2011

The beans!” for the current toddler and/or preschooler once or twice a month for the past couple years now.  Keeping it [...]

So Many Are the Multitudes

by Alison on March 21, 2011

It’s been a season… A long winter.  A long trimester.  Spring is here.*  Sometime very soon, a new baby will be here.** I am tempted to complain, and all too often give in to that fleshly temptation- I am a work in progress.  I’m tired.  I’m achy.  I’m yearning for sunshine so badly. Despite my negative natural [...]

Saturday Snapshots 3.19.2011

by Alison on March 19, 2011

For those of you that are better at this than me (I’m so bad, no new pics for my own pic meme?! Actually, no new energy to be snap-happy and even less energy to sit up editing pics in my evenings, which is a favorite hobby of mine, or, it was, in the days before [...]
