if you “want” it then you shoulda put a “string” on it!!

we were headed back to the bathroom tonight to brush teeth, when we happened upon this in the office:

(remember the news we shared here??)

so we did what any sane (or crazy, depending on how you look at it) parent would do, and the hubs quickly stepped in to offer a hand while i ran and grabbed the camera:

GET READY…
GET SET…
GO!!

and guess what???

…much to the utter surprise and delight of us all

here’s proof:

oh snap…sure hope the Tooth Fairy has some cash on hand!!

(although the boy told me that he is convinced that the Tooth Fairy leaves debit cards)

i snuck in a bit later and found the bug doing this in the bathroom:

a few more years, sweet girl!!

okay…i really better hop off and make sure that there’s more than debit cards around this joint!

ps: in case you were wondering….i’m still feeling like mush (see here) but loving every minute of it!! if you want to know more about it, just ask!!

and if you don’t want to know more, you might want to plug your ears or close your eyes, cause you’ll probably hear more about it on this little blog in the coming days!!

undone

i’m distracted today, cause all i want to do is read this book…Surprised by the Power of the Spirit:

and since it lately hasn’t happened often (or ever) that i’d rather sit and read than do something else, like blog, then i’m going with it!

actually…i kinda feel like mush, and i just want revel in it for a while. i had an amazing weekend away with some friends as a cap to a course that the hubs and i have been taking at our church. there is so much i could say, and i’m sure some of it will spill out into this little blog at times, but to sum it up, i feel like all the things i’ve known and believed to be true of God, I am for the first time really experiencing! like REALLY experiencing! like…moving beyond it just being something i believe theologically or because i’ve read it…to it being something that i am EXPERIENCING, that i know for sure is REAL, that i FEEL…and its undone me, changed me, and i simply am craving more.

so in an effort to satisfy that craving, i’m going to go read, and since i can’t really focus on much else at the moment, and don’t have any great blog material right now, i’m just gonna post some pictures today. i’ve hesitated to post these in the past for various reasons, so its kinda a struggle in many ways for me to share them, but i’m going with it, cause its easy, and i don’t have to think about it, and who doesn’t like looking at pictures of beautiful people?

these pictures are from some opportunities i had this summer to photograph some friends and their families. i loved every second of these shoots, and am pretty darn convinced that i have some of the most gorgeous friends in the whole wide world!

(this sweet thing came out of that tiny little belly pictured above!)

hopefully that will tide you all over while i gather my thoughts!

i’ll leave you with this verse that a sweet friend shared with me today, and i can’t get it out of my head, cause its exactly how i feel:

“But if I say, “I will not mention his word

or speak anymore in his name,”
his word is in my heart like a fire,
a fire shut up in my bones.
I am weary of holding it in;
indeed, I cannot.”

Jeremiah 20:9

so i’m off to seek out what that might look like in normal everyday life!

i’m so excited…

…and i just can’t hide it!

wanna know why?

cause i happened upon my neighbor as he was pulling these beauties out to his curb the other day:

and by curb…i mean to the garbage pile! can you believe it?!

he was kind enough to graciously let me take them off his hands (even though we spastically slammed on the brakes and came to a screeching halt in front of his house, probably scaring him half to death!!)

so the hubs and i loaded them into our car while i tried my very best to play it cool and contain my utter joy and excitement!!

and in case you couldn’t tell by the first picture, they are rocking chairs:

check out these details:
