Remembering June

June, for us, is summer in full swing.  I know it wasn't officially summer until the end of the month, but it was summer for sure starting at the very beginning.

HOT.

Long days.

Falling into bed exhausted at night.

But looking back at some pictures, there were highlights for sure.
As we sorted though some stuff in storage, I came across my dress from Senior Prom.  You can't tell in the picture...but I am holding my breath.  (pretty sure this wasn't a highlight but those two goobers are too cute not to post)
Maddie found a Sharpie and proceeded to make herself into a 'faffe' (giraffe).  She somehow managed to not get it on her clothes at all....just the kitchen table and a few windows.
The super heroes made a return.
Hannah got her haircut for the first time ever.  Just the ends were trimmed, but I feel like it was so much more!
We had a few bridal showers, welcoming Laura into our family.  She will love me for this one!
Celebrating Father's Day and the most wonderful father and husband I could have ever hoped for.
Enjoying a once in a lifetime experience in a box suite at a Red's game.
Owen lost his first tooth...literally lost it - we have NO clue where it went!
Beautiful bouquets picked by 3 adorable Suvar's
And I just had to put a picture of Paul in there.  The man who helps me keep my sanity through these long, summer days.


June in a nutshell.  July has already started and has proven to be just as hot and long as June.  But God is faithful and provides just what we need, when we need it.  So, July, bring.  it.  on.

OK, I've kept it a secret for 6 months, but now that it's over, I'm bragging on my man. : ) Since April, Paul has been training to run the Columbus Marathon. We were able to get a few days off of work, grandparents watched the kids, and on Saturday morning Paul and I headed down to Columbus. We headed downtown to pick up his race packet and then spent the rest of the day and night with Ben, Jaime, and Alayna . Dark and early (5 AM) Sunday morning we rolled out of bed, Paul got geared up, and we headed downtown again to find a decent parking spot. Thankfully we found a good place to park and had Paul to the starting area at 6:30 AM (an hour before start). Ben graciously came along so I didn't have to wander around Columbus on my own -thanks, Ben! It was mid-30's at the start with a slight breeze, but skies were clear and the sun came out once it rose. Ben and I saw Paul off at the start and then headed to the halfway point (got some coffee along the way) and

The newest addition to our family came into this world on February 1st. She weighed 6 lbs 3 oz and was 19 inches long. She surprised us all with having black hair - Owen and Hannah were born with next to nothing for hair and even then it was real light. She impressed the doctors at the hospital by gaining back her birth weight and passing it by an ounce (a rarity, I guess). Our first day at home (today) went well. She was awake for most of the morning and through lunch and then took a nap in the afternoon. She nurses well and doesn't get upset by all the noise Owen and Hannah make. Hannah loves to come over and pat her on the head and Owen will talk to her and hold her hand. I am working on wrapping my mind around the fact that I am a mother of 3 - it makes me feel old! :) I'm healing well from my C-Section, the hardest part is forcing myself to stay put and letting Paul do things for me. He's a great nurse, cook, father, husband.... : )

Of loss and hope

Thank you to those who have reached out to me, prayed for me, since my post on Sunday. I am humbled yet again by the love of Christ, and His followers. I spoke of hope. And truly I am learning more about hope as life goes on.  I understand it more than I did 10 years ago. And even now, this week, I feel I am seeing new dimensions of it that I did not know existed. I am a realist. With a small dose of optimism.  And I think that it is that sprinkling of optimism that is keeping me from swinging way over to the pessimistic side of things. Because I truly want things to work out, HOPE that things will work out.  But I keep my hand on the shift knob, because I just may have to throw things into a lower gear because well, I'm just hoping for things to work out, but kinda doubt they will. I hope that made sense to someone.  You may need to go back and read it.  I'll wait. .......... I think I live most of my life, and approach most circumstances, like that.
