The Wandering Wilders Begin

The Wandering Wilders...seems fitting for our family, don't you think? As we approach each day, wondering what may come, at this stage we wander through:
Smiles and Tears
Diapers and Potty Training (done!)
Nursing and Sippy Cups
Laundry and ...More Laundry
Toys and ...More Toys
No Sleep and No Naps (for Mom!)
Love and Ever Growing Love
Learning to Share and Sibling Rivalry
Husband and Wife (who?)

But through the wandering of each stage we develop character, and character hope, and hope, a future because our Lord is good! I am so grateful for this stage...and the many many more to come.

Stage Now

Diapers, Nursing, Excitement, Crying, Wonder, Naps (or lack there of), Smiling, Cooing, Crawling (scooting), Up ALL Night, Rocking, More Nursing...AND Lot's and Lot's of "Why, Mama's", Energy, Reasoning, Naps (or really lack there of), Kindness and Love, Imaginary Play, Cooking and Mama's BIG Helper...
These are just a few of our favorite things consuming our lives right now...
Chloe, now almost 3 1/2 is an amazing three year old! She is so smart and kind. She is learning about Jesus in Sunday School and asking lots of questions like, "Is Pastor God" or "How did Jesus make Fruit Leather?". She still loves art, gymnastics, imaginary play, learning to play the violin and now, a new concept, sharing with brother. She is just SO sweet.


Soren is now 9 months. Where did the time go? He is proving to have other sounds out of those sweet lungs other then cries. Lots of coos, ga-ga's, MAMA's! He is crawling and cruising all over the place and is so happy! My little man has grown up...over night!
