Milo & Mommy Time

By -


It's a Milo-Mommy weekend!! We took Daddy to the airport friday night to head down to North Carolina, so it's been you and me. We both miss daddy lots, but after talking with him today for a bit, I'm SUPER excited to have hear about everything when he gets back. Sounds like things are going well. And you liked to hear Dad's voice for a bit... this morning you were a bit upset when we went ' bye bye' and weren't going to see dad! But really so far, you've been wonderful!! A few minor hiccups but really we've had a blast!! This evening we had a dinner date in the living room, followed by lots of fun play time with tools, blocks, ' rough housing', and good conversation. I love that you can talk and communicate with me! So fun.

Our cute dinner date 

just doing some slight adjustments while dad is away...

There are a few unpleasant news updates, okay I think ther'es only one. We are trying to determine and figure out what is causing some very ugly hives & rashes. I finally caught a few of ' break outs' on camera while you were taking a bath- I know that warm water will make it worse or make the rash come out, and I hate seeing it appear like it did tonight, but you need to be clean and the water has to be somewhat warm cuz it's cold season now. (and you don't even like that Hot of water...) Anywho, we did get a referral to see an allergist, and without much fight too. Yay!! I just want to get some answers and figure it out fast, so you don't have to suffer. I know what it feels like to have a reaction, and hate that you have to go thru any of that! NO FUN- not at all. So this week to see what would help we decided to take away straight milk. Replacing it with Rice- which you'll drink but aren't a huge fan of yet. And I've also stayed clear of straight eggs... I've seen what that can do to some kids & would prefer it not to happen to you if you are allergic. I know I can't take everything away till we get our appt. made but I want to try hard to keep your reactions to a minimum. Seems to get worse each time you break out. Scaring this mom and dad! You also get real wiggly, cranky, and destructive with each reaction. I don't feel like those words are the best to describe it, but I am at a loss at what would best describe it. I know how it feels on the inside and can't blame you one bit, especially with not knowing exactly how to put your words and sentences together... but even with a cause we still discipline you and try to get you to talk and use your words in sentences to get to the ' hurt' or ' cause' of the disobedience. But it's been a tough week and a half trying to work this out. Hoping we get that call from the allergist this week (just got the referral on Friday) and can get the ball rolling on things. So I'll try to keep things updated...
You love giving thumbs up now ... 


I just had to share this video too... it melts my heart!! You love to play and talk with ZuZu. Pretty sure she's one of your bestest buds and will always be that way. But right before I took this video you were actually asking her if she would read the Bible with you. You were saying, ' Zuzu, read Bible? Yes? Okay.' Then you ran to get it and sat with her... I love that you prayed with her too. Once again I'm at a loss for the words to describe the feeling I get when I see you LOVING to read the bible, asking to read the bible, and praying. There's actually been a few nights where you've asked us to pray again and we've had to pray for your cousins, grandparents, and other misc. things you'll mention. What a blessing!!! I will always pray with you and will always pray for you!


Well with that, I'll be ending my update for now... Can't wait to find out what news Daddy brings back!!!

Love You Milo Man

A happier bath time earlier this week

There's No Place Like Home

This December marks the start of our 4th year in our old, cozy home. It's this time each year I begin to think of all the hard work that was put into making this old farmhouse our home. It took months of work, (mostly time of Grandpa Keith's), and lots of imagination. I remember when Daddy took me thru the first time, the place was SO dirty, run down, and in dire need of some TLC!! But the little details and charm of the place got to me and I knew we just HAD to live here!! It was perfect. I fell in love. It had so many “old” things and so much history to it; from the kitchen cabinets, to the door knobs, & who doesn't just LOVE the hand crafted cabinets?! And it wasn't just the house, it was the surroundings. The fields, farms, country way of life, and of course the location... so close to our families! Beautiful spring/fall flower collection  The wheat fields This is our road ... down by the river. BEAUTIFUL during sunset!  The beau...

PRAISE GOD!! It is with the greatest joy we announce that our family has made it to the 50% mark in our monthly fundraising goal! Praise God! With that being said, we are setting new goals and continuing on with eager anticipation as to how God will work in the coming months. We've set some goals and are praying to be at 80% by October so we can attend the month long pre-field training near Asheville, NC. Our goal is reach Stockton-on-Tees at the beginning of the new year! In other news, God has been answering prayer here in our simple way of living in our front yard! I am writing a post dedicated to how God is moving and what we are doing, but until it's all done, I'll just recap it quickly. God has been bringing folks to our yard, expanding our friends in the neighborhood and making old things new and beautiful. Our front yard is now a gorgeous oasis of light and beauty and we are excited to have more summer meals, parties, and conversations around the new rock p...

So Much Thankfulness

By -

  This year, as many years before, there's SO much to be thankful for. Seriously tho, the list goes on forever. God blesses us so much every year and sometimes I think we take that for granted. His mercy and grace alone are enough to make Thanksgiving day full of overwhelming hearts and thankful spirits ... but He blesses us with SO much more. It's incredible. Not only does God forgive me and rescue me daily from my sins, He gives me a beautiful little family that loves me for me. A husband that is devoted and dedicated. A very cute little guy (that's you Milo Man!) that loves his mommy dearly and makes life so much more adventurous. Another cute guy that will be arriving oh so soon (hopefully). And parents that still take care of me, even when i least expect it.  These are just a few of the wonderful things that I am thankful for this year.  My salvation in Christ has taken on a new meaning in the past year; helping me to realize there's not much more in life that ...
