This man right here. I don't celebrate him enough. Wrangling these two boys is often a handful (or two arms full) but he does it so well. . He is tender and compassionate in a way I hope to learn. He is honest about his own struggles and consistently acts on truth and grace, regardless of what he feels. He is firm and consistent. He is selfless in a way that daily baffles and humbled me. He is fun and spontaneous. He is creative and never gives up. He is the best of husbands and fathers, and we are so blessed by him. . Happy Father's Day @travissinks! We love you! #swipeleft👈🏼 #fathersday2018 #sinksfamily #ohlittlejames #heysweetpeter
One of our very favorite things to do as a family is going on evening walks. Tonight we snuck in a quick one right after a thunderstorm and let James jump in all the puddles. Oh the joy! . I’ve been reminded lately how simple it is to do things with your children that bring them joy. Pulling out some washable watercolors. Taking a walk to jump in puddles. Tossing a ball across the room. Reading the same book over and over again. . I’m so thankful for these moments and the joy they bring. #swipeleft👈🏼 #1000gifts #sinksfamily #ohlittlejames #puddlejumping #splash #iphonephotography #blurry
Heading home tired and rested all at the same time. Heading home with a greater appreciation for my boys and the joy of their ages. Heading home the overall loser of our weekend rummy game. Heading home thankful. Heading home with lots on my mind. Heading home praying the boys nap well today so I can get everything put away...and just so they nap and I get a little break. #momlife Heading home wishing I’d snapped more photos of all of us together. Heading home thankful for the memories I did capture, with my phone and in my heart. Heading home peaceful. Heading home so very thankful for this trip. For the time spent. For the cuddles had. For the games played. For the conversations had. For the moments of prayer. For the books read again and again. For the naps had. For the hands held and the hugs given and the beauty we saw and shared. [Swipe Left] #sinksvaca #swipeleft #floridalove #sinksfamily #heysweetpeter #ohlittlejames
Family vacation. . I never thought that vacation could feel like an act of worship, but that’s what this trip feels like for me. It’s not anywhere near my #vacationgoals, but it is what our family needs, and what our hearts need. . So we booked a tiny house in the middle of nowhere, and four nights of just us. Playing with the boys, reading books, driving cars around, barbecuing, taking walks, playing games, and resting. Lots of resting. That’s it. Still and quiet and slow and just us. . I’m praying that God meets us in this space and refreshes us physically, emotionally and spiritually. Because we had “planned” a vacation for later. For longer. For when certain pieces of life were more put together. But I felt like we needed to go now. We needed to enjoy and rest and worship in the life we have now, not waiting for some point in the future. . God has been teaching me this for a long time now, and this felt like the next step of worship and rest and Thanksgiving. #sinksfamily #ohlittlejames #sinksvaca #givethanks #fatherson
Seven years of marriage. Ten years since we started dating. . The best and hardest days of my life have been spent with this man, but the best days far, far outweigh the hard ones. . Ten years later, he’s still my best friend, but so much more too. Being parents together, walking each through our deepest struggles, pushing each other toward Jesus, making each other laugh, it is so worth the work and the relationship is such a reward in itself. . I wouldn’t trade a single day of being your wife away, @travissinks. . Here’s to seven-ty more years together. If it’s this good only seven years in, I can’t wait for how good it’s going get! .

52/100 He woke hot. I could feel it. And the thermometer read 100.2. . After only 6 1/2 hours of sleep, interrupted sleep, I should have known I was not fully prepared to deal with a sick baby and active toddler. . But I forged on. What else do you do? . The sick babe fell asleep in my arms and if my heart hadn’t been heavy from worry, I would have cried from the joy of that moment. . But no day is only the moments of a perfect baby asleep in your arms. . Several hours, one unfortunate apple sauce spill, and one toddler rebellion later, I was done. So done. And we were out of the ultimate bad day comfort food: boxed macaroni and cheese. . So my husband suggested I make this instead. The measuring ingredients, mixing butter and flour, heating water, shredding cheese, each step became a therapeutic washing, a therapeutic offering of my mind and soul. . When this combination is on the table together, you know it’s been a rough day, but you also know I’ve had a chance to slow down and enjoy it. To worship through the slow of cooking and chopping and joy of eating. . #the100dayproject #100dayproject #100daysofstorytelling #1000gifts #reallife
49/100 He's been doing it a lot lately. Whole body pressing into my chest, arms draped loosely around me, little head laying heavy on my shoulder. . He releases his whole body weight into me. I can feel it. I cherish it. . I hope I am always a safe space for him to release the full weight of himself into, releasing whatever emotions need to be felt and let go. . Right now, it's almost always the sadness of tears, or the heavy of exhaustion. Usually both together when bedtime has turned to crying. . But today, it was the tired of being woken from a much needed nap. His little self pressing hard into me, wishing for more sleep. Occasionally, his little head pops up at an interesting sound, only to slump back into sleepy cuddles a few moments later. {From yesterday} #100dayproject #the100dayproject #the100daysproject #sinksfamily #heysweetpeter
43/100 "You're in a good mood," he smiled. . I had just finished animatedly listing off all the possible snacks I could bring him since he was still hungry after lunch. The options were more plentiful than normal, due to a freshly restocked pantry, and to be honest, my good mood. . "I am." I simply replied. And I smiled, turning toward the kitchen. . It felt good to be in a good mood. Not just a fine mood or an okay mood or a peaceful mood. A good mood. A happy, smiling, joyful mood. #100dayproject #100daysofstorytelling #the100dayproject #the100daysproject
