This sweet boy is only my baby for the next 6 weeks, give or take a few. I'm so tired of being pregnant and so tired in general from potty training and this toddler phase and the Heat that I desperately need moments like this to remind me to cherish him and these last days where he is the only little person needing my attention. Although toddler days can be long and challenging, every day I am so thankful for the little boy he is and the obedience, personality, and character he is developing. He is so fun and funny and sweet and a joy to be around! Counting my blessings and telling God THANK YOU for these days. (And naps...so thankful for naps. His and mine!) #motherhoodsimplified #motherhoodunplugged #givethanks #thankfulthursday #thrivemoms #thrivewhereistand #getaftergrateful #1000gifts #ohlittlejames #sinksfamily
Fresh squeezed orange juice from the new Colombian coffee shop that opened just up the street from us. To me this picture represents the joy and rest we found together as a family this weekend. It wasn't a perfect weekend, because since when is life perfect, and the news I saw on my social media feed hung like a sad cloud over the weekend. Regardless, there were so many sweet moments that I will cherish. Our dear friends returning from vacation. Sharing this beautiful orange with my little boy and watching his joy in sharing with mommy. Watching this same birthday boy chat with his grandparents on the phone and FaceTime. Celebrating and seeing others celebrate our little boy turning two. Gathering with our church family. Relaxing while my boys napped. Barbecuing with a good friend before starting a new week. Watching our little two year old play with his new toys and ask his mommy and daddy to play with him. I'm looking back and feeling thankful, and I'm meditating on this verse that just keeps surfacing in my mind, especially the end of verse 18 (I put it in all caps). It's all about Jesus. "He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church. HE IS THE BEGINNING, THE FIRSTBORN FROM THE DEAD, THAT IN EVERYTHING HE MIGHT BE PREEMINENT. For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross." Colossians 1:15-20 #weekendmemories #mondaymeditation #allforjesus #lifeslittlemoments #sinksfamily #ourcity #1000gifts #countyourblessings
This sweet boy turned two today. He doesn't like smiling for pictures because he just wants to see them before they are even taken. He repeats everything. He is obsessed with cars, trucks, balls, and animals. He can be the sweetest boy ever or throw the meanest fit. He dances when he is excited and waiting. And most of all...he LOVES his people. A lot! James Neal, happy second birthday! Your mommy and daddy love you! #ohlittlejames #sinksfamily #twoyearold
An almost 32 weeks baby bump and iced coffee in a mason jar after my OB appointment. Coffee ice cubes and the lid screwed on tight for the win! (See my instastories for more.) This past week has been completely exhausting in so many ways. I've found myself on the verge of tears so many times, most of them caused by a certain toddler who is "testing boundaries" (man that phrase makes it sound so nice) and needing ALL.THE.ATTENTION. I'm so thankful for the little moments with Jesus and the little moments of joy and the little moments of sweetness from both my boys in between the crazy. Third trimester is not my best time,I don't know that it's anybody's, but I'm praying that God can help me thrive and settle deep into Him these next couple of months. And I'm thanking Him for every time I handle my toddler's tantrums well, because it's becoming increasingly clear that it is all by His grace, not my awesomeness. #motherhoodsimplified #babybump #givethanks #1000gifts #motherhoodunplugged #momlife #icedcoffeelove #coldbrew #masonjar #thrivemoms #thrivewhereistand #motherhoodlife
One more photo from yesterday's self-timer photo shoot, because I wanted to share how thankful I am for this weekend. Church this morning was a blessing and it was incredibly encouraging to see so many of our volunteers jump in to help each other out and cover for those who got sick or couldn't make it. Then I got an (accidentally) super long nap, followed up by impromptu cheesecake with friends. Feeling grateful and content. Thank you God for a fun and full weekend. #minusthetoddlertantrums #nationalcheesecakeday #happyweekend #readyformonday #babybump #30weekspregnant #heysweetpeter
Me and my just-over-30-week pregnant baby bump. Little boy is measuring right on schedule, a tiny bit big, but that's not too surprising considering that mommy, daddy, and big brother were all long babies. This photo doesn't show the sore hips, my double chin, the bright red zit on my forehead, exactly how huge my belly is, or those extra pounds I planned not to add. But it does show the joy I feel when planning for this sweet boy to join our family, how my belly is impossible to miss (and has been for weeks), the tiredness slowly becoming normal as sleep gets more evasive, and the readiness I feel to get this baby out. Just about two months to go! What a gift it is to be a mother and I'm so incredibly thankful to have all these discomforts as a reminder that a precious life is on his way into our family. God is good! #30weekspregnant #heysweetpeter #babybump #1000gifts #motherhoodsimplified #givethanks #getaftergrateful #pregnantlife #mommyhood #yesimhuge #thrivemoms #thrivewhereistand #40poundsandcounting
I'm abundantly thankful for mornings like this. But don't be fooled. I just spent the last two plus hours of scrubbing my house like a crazy person. And before that was breakfast, breakfast clean up, toddler potty time, bible time, and book time with the toddler. And I'm wondering how it's only 10:45 in the morning. Still, I'm abundantly thankful for moments of quiet like this. I fully realize that by the time I post this photo the moment may be gone without me ever opening my book. Still, God is good and this moment of quiet and is a gift. Just like the moments of crazy and noise and cleaning and mothering are gifts as well. Counting them all today. #1000gifts #getaftergrateful #simpleisbeautiful #29weeks #babybump #heysweetpeter #throughtheeyesofalion #soulfood #icedcoffee #sitstill #savorlife
