  • When it rains it pours 🌧 this little guy and I got influenza last week and I think we may finally be at the end of it 🤞🏼😭 It’s so nice to see a smile on that sweet little face again! It’s safe to say we are soooo ready for Spring! 🌱
  • The beautiful thing about bed rest... I get to stare at this sweet little face all day 💛
  • I thought that day would be so different. Finn’s birth was close to pure bliss, but our little Alfie brought me to a place that I never prepared for. I may write a birth story sometime, but I still haven’t gotten over the trauma. I’m not sure if I will. . . I know this is a place to inspire, and it’s also a place to be real. So to be real, I felt like I couldn’t do what my body was supposed to do and I wanted to give up at every turn. I had this beautiful idea of what this birth would be like, but sometimes (or most of the time) it doesn’t go as planned. And sometimes it can become really scary and everything can start going wrong. So I never got the photos, of all the sweet birth moments I wanted captured...but this photo is everything to me. . . This photo shows me a man who made me realize how strong our marriage is. That it doesn’t always require two people to be strong at the same time...but sometimes one has to be strong for the other one, in the moments when the other can’t be strong anymore. I couldn’t see then how scared he was, I just saw how strong he was. . . This photo shows me a perfect baby boy, who wasn’t phased by anything that went on that day...entering this world perfectly happy + healthy + protected + loved. A little baby who showed me ‘weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.’ Psalm 30:5 ☀❤
  • Our little Alfie. These last couple days have been unlike anything we have ever gone through...but even in the depths, you are the greatest gift, perfectly knit together to complete our little family 💛 you are so loved.

  • Out of everything we teach our boys, I am learning there are things that only our pup can teach them 💛🐶
