We should really be sleeping already, but I had yet to take a photo, and Clay still had to post his, so we're awake. Tea time before bed I suppose. Chai for him, and red raspberry leaf for me...
It's really true that if you leave the unhealthy snacks at the grocery store and have healthy stuff in your house instead, you'll eat it. Actually, I even have ice cream in the freezer, but this evening I found myself reaching for the almonds yet again. Whether I'm just feeling snacky, or severely low on energy and needing a quick boost, this little nutritional powerhouse comes through. Loads of protein...and yes, fat. But good fat. And hey, I'm feeding a baby as well.
After a tremendous amount of pain in my hips today (thanks, pregnancy hormones, for loosening everything up so well), I stumbled my way to the bathtub for a soak. Clay set me up with the iPad so I could get yelled at by Mark Driscoll - definitely a good way to end the day.
Hello third trimester.
There is a reality that sets in when I reach this stage of pregnancy. As the kicks get stronger and more frequent, my joints get looser, and and it becomes increasingly harder to pull myself up off the floor, it dawns on me that I won't be pregnant forever and there really will be a baby arriving in a few short months. My nesting urge is kicking into gear...

Feeling tired, and fading like these flowers.
I like the contrast of this shot next to yesterday's.
Though the sky is overcast, the ground is covered with ice and snow, and the temperature hovers below freezing, spring is in the air I breathe. Winter never lasts forever, and for this I am grateful.
These are the tulips Clay got me for my birthday. I know it's overexposed, but I quite like the soft effect it gives.

My boys have been wearing their halloween costumes for the past 4 days - they only take them off to sleep, and only because we insist. Here we have Curious George, thrilled to have discovered a stuffed monkey at his grandma and grandpa's house that he was given permission to borrow.
Hi everyone!
Today marks the beginning of the year I am 27, and I'm commemorating the day by beginning a new 365 Project. Happy birthday to me! I am looking forward to what God has in store for me this year, as I grow into a mother of four and learn to depend even more fully on the One who holds me together.
I snapped this on my supper date with Clay, on our way to our dessert date destination :)
