The FIRST First Day

Monday was Trevor's first day of school. Like EVER. He seemed a little apprehensive on the first day, but came home loving it. I think it's going to be a great year!

Trevor has been joining me every Tuesday night to walk around North Star and pray for the upcoming Women's League kickoff. Well, a week or two before school, he asked if I would walk around his school and pray for him on his first day. I said I would. He brought it up several times leading up to the first day, and then he told the teacher on the first day that I was going to be walking around the school praying. It was just the sweetest time of prayer for him and for the days before him--I think I'll do it every year!




The song on the playlist is the first song that I connected to Trevor. We sang this song a lot at church when I was pregnant with him, and he always seemed to kick like crazy during worship. How great is our God--all will see how great is our God!

My Favorite Part of She Speaks

Justin, Trevor and Aila. My time with them was the highlight of our weekend in Concord, NC for the "She Speaks" conference. For other conference details, check out the speaking blog.

Messy Child

I can't take the stained clothing, nor bathing my child after every single meal. Bibs don't even KIND OF cut it, so here's my solution:

Long-sleeve art smocks from Ikea!!!



She's a sweet girl, but MAN can she make a mealtime mess!

Family Visit!

We had a great time when my parents came to visit (like a MONTH ago)!
