... of conversation

"That's right, folks! It's only a matter of time until they won't be able to shut me up..."

Not much time to blog lately, but I thought I would share some (low quality) pics. We basically went from taking insane amounts of pictures when Abram was born to taking almost none with a real camera. So my phone is the only place that we are getting any documentation of his fast and furious development. The fun thing is that it DOES take video, so I get a little more eventful stuff to share.

He has been talking a lot lately. I haven't figured out if he is just babbling for babblings sake or if he does it when he needs to spit up. Usually these conversations follow a feeding and are followed by some kind of liquid. Sorry. But here is Abram conversing.



If my mac were working, I would love to be able to add captions for what I imagine him to be saying. Oh well, maybe it's better for you to use your own imagination.

We've also been working on playing with toys and tummy time. He's still not a huge fan of the latter, but he's getting better and better each time at not freaking out.

This is tummy time in his new gym we bought at a resale shop for 1/3 of the price it is at babies r us. I am beginning to learn to never buy anything new...

Well, I will try to be better about taking pictures of the kid on a good camera. Or maybe be better about telling Quinn to be better about taking pictures of the kid on a good camera. Same thing.

"Thaaaaat's all, folks."

... of a patent

... or maybe, just maybe , I'm jumping the gun :) A good friend told me the other day that she and her husband have been leaving church after the worship because she can't sit for an extended time in the folding chairs. Our church did a great thing and bought inexpensive folding chairs for our sanctuary in order to 1)save money and 2)be able to use the empty room for community type events in the neighborhood during the week. This is awesome. I support their decision and so does my friend who is leaving after the worship (and watching the previous week's sermon from home). But she is pregnant. She already had back problems and now (of course!) they are worse. My back is just starting to bother me and I know that there are many pregnant women with back problems and normal people with back problems who whimper inside a little every time they enter a room and see folding chairs. Until now, I had just sort of reconciled myself to the fact that sitting in a folding chair was ...

...of the same, but different

When we came back to Austin from the UAE and Quinn started back at his old job and we went right back to the same church and are even a few months away from moving back into our old house, we struggled with feeling like the previous two and half years just didn't happen. Sure, we had another child, but it all felt the same as it had. Except that our hearts were completely different. God had pulled us out of our former comfort zone and opened our hearts and eyes to a people who desperately needed His love. So when we came back, we were like different people in the same life. Even though those two years were less than we had planned and the memory of them gets further and further away, He still used them to shape and transform us in ways we never could have imagined. It was like we had entered some kind of time warp where everything was the same and different all at once. Then, just a few weeks ago, when we discovered that our fourth baby, Joanna Lynn, had Down syndrome, everyth...

...of big changes

Let's start with a cute picture of Abram and Selah in Spain: Adorbs. Now... I posted earlier today while I was waiting to see a rheumatologist in Dubai. I had been referred by the ortho doctor I had seen in Fujairah on multiple occasions over the last few months for my finger and back problems. My sister is a dermatologist and knows that I have had psoriasis for years and she also thought I needed to see a rheumatologist.  Just in case you aren't aware, psoriasis is basically an itchy skin condition. Basically. But there's actually more to it than that (which I wasn't even aware of until very recently.) It is a chronic auto immune problem. My body's immune system (for some undetermined reason) attacks healthy skin cells and it results in itchy patches of skin. Pretty awesome, right? In about 20% of people with skin psoriasis, the immune system will also start attacking the joints, which is why I found myself in a very nice rheumatologist's...
