wordless wednesday: literacy

notes to self

(insert obligatory 'wow-i-really-suck-at-blogging-lately' comment.)

i'm really not fishing for any encouragement in the form of a comment from my faithful blog followers. just wanted to remember what it felt like to hit 'create new post' button :)

i'm thinking about gettin' back to bloggin'. no expectations, no 'i have to post twice per week' thoughts. just when i: a.) have the time, and b.) have something to share.

i'm loving every minute spent with my hubs and sweet babe and enjoying some freedom from the computer when i'm home. the whole going back to work thing sucks. it really, really does.

peace!

Wordless Wednesday: Waiting

I know wordless Wednesdays are supposed to be just that, but I have a hard time not using any words (my husband could vouch for that.) We were headed out to a happy hour for a friend's birthday, and I literally went into the bedroom/bathroom to get ready for a few minutes...came out and no joke, they were both sleeping. [Ok, MATT could fake it if he wanted to-although he wasn't, but not the baby.] ha!

Flashback Friday

One year ago this Sunday, I checked a life goal off my list...running and finishing a marathon. [And Matt ran marathon number 6] The Saturday before any race is the Expo, where you go get your race number and a goody bag and walk around with thousands of other runners getting all pumped up by the environment around you. One year ago tomorrow, Matt and I (and Mack and Kirst) were walking around the expo doing just that. Except Matt and I were pumped for another reason, we had a little secret. That Saturday morning, at 5am...we saw this:

Extreme excitement enveloped both of us (and shock and disbelief initially).


So we kept our secret (not for long!) and I finished that marathon in utter amazement that I was carrying another little life with me for 26.2 miles.
before the race about 5am:

after...yaaaaay!

We smiled on that day for two reasons. The immediate gratification that comes along with completing a major goal...and more importantly, that we knew we were embarking on what we now know as the greatest journey imaginable; parenthood. We knew we were entrusted with a miracle and felt so blessed from that day forward.

One year later, we have a name and a face for our miracle, and we are so THANKFUL.

I mean, who wouldn't love this face?
