... of an old married couple

The church we attend is a relatively young church. Much of the congregation attends UT, Texas State, or St. Edwards or have recently graduated from them. Therefore, most people are single or newly married. Most. In the last few years we have added some "older" couples to the church and they are such a blessing. But the Newly/Nearly married class continues to get bigger and bigger every semester and once a couple hits about three years, they are considered old and wise. So here we are. Old and wise. According to those around us, but not to ourselves. Quinn and I have been married for three years today and we both know that we have a TON of growing still to do. I still kinda feel like a newlywed and I keep thinking: "Should we have a baby yet or was this too soon?" Luckily, we had nothing to do with that decision, so we can completely trust that God felt like we were ready (for whatever reason...)

Here are some pictures of my wonderful husband and me:





Happy Anniversary, Quinn Smith.
I love you so much.

On an Abram note, I almost titled this post "... of the scoot" because just yesterday, he started to be able to pull himself in tiny little increments toward things that he wants. He is using his arms at times and his legs at others, but not together just yet. Here is yet another video where I sound like a crazy person, but just focus on the baby, people.


Better stop blogging so often and start baby proofing the house. But I like to share these moments when they happen with friends and family. And, with our family so far away, we want to make sure you are all privy to what the Bubba accomplishes almost daily now.

So to Grandma Gae and Bopa Scott, and Nana and Papa, and Grandpa Dan and Grandma Barbara, and Grandma Wadene who we know are reading this right now... Abram says:

"Where? Where are they?!"

"Oh. Ha ha. They're not here. You're just talking about them. Well, that was a little awkward. Thanks, Mom. Anyway. Hey, guys. I'll see you all soon!"

    "Happy Anniversary, Quinn Smith.
    I love you so much."

... of the tipping point

 I haven't blogged in so very long, I can't remember when and I'm not going to stop this thought train to go and check. Suffice it to say, it's been awhile. But I showed up here to share (and document) a major event in the life of our family.  Before Moses came home, I would see adoptive families posting about their kiddos' "Tipping Point Days". I recently heard it called something else as well, but I'm too tired to think of it right now. Basically, it is the day when your adopted child has been with you for as long as they were not  with you. For kids that were adopted at 1 or 2 or 3, that seems to come quickly and maybe feels eventful, but not monumental. Well, when we got custody of Moses he was about 4 years and 9 months old. I remember coming back to America and seeing someone in my adoption group post about their 2 or 3 year old's Tipping Point Day and thinking I should figure out when Moses's would be. So I did. I sat down and figured ou...

...of a name

If you've been tracking with us for awhile now, you may remember that when we were pregnant with Selah, we had a boy name chosen .  This time, we had a few boy options, but the old standby won out, because we really do like it a lot.  But just like two years ago, we still can't quite agree on a middle name for this kid. That's where you can help. His name is Simon.  After Simon Peter, the apostle.  It's five letters and it's Hebrew (like the other kids) and we like  it. But, here's the thing: We have four options for middle names.  The two that Quinn really like, I have been vehemently opposed to.  I will share them with you in the most unbiased (yeah, right) way possible and you can tell me if I'm wrong.  For real.  I won't be mad. He likes Simon Quinn and Simon Peter. Now, you may be thinking "Wait a minute... isn't Quinn Abram's middle name?" Why yes, yes it is. Much to the credit of his beloved parents, Quinn likes his na...

...of three

So we are having another baby.  Whew.  There, I said it.  No creative lead up and stunning reveal.  Just there .  Baby.  Bam. That's a little what it felt like to find out that a third child would be joining our ranks a bit short of 3.5 years after our first child was born.  We were content with our two.  A boy and a girl.  Who could ask for anything more, right?  Also, Quinn and I each have just one sister, so it seemed natural for us to stop at two. So that's what we were working to do.  I won't go into the details of it all with you in this forum, but we really were attempting to avoid pregnancy. So this wasn't a "woops" moment.  This was a "many things happening coincidentally" moment.  And so when we confirmed that we were, indeed, expecting another baby, there was a bit of shock (of course), but also peace and assurance in knowing that God definitely showed us His hand in it. We told Abram pretty early on and he...
