... of the beach

I have so many pictures to share of only the few days that we have been in Idaho so far.  But until I sort through them, I thought I would share some phone photos of Abram's afternoon on the "beach".  What do you call the sand on a lake?  I'm sure there is a term, but for now it will be the "beach".



Quinn and Abram were building what Quinn was calling the "Daddy Abey Cove" (which was basically a big whole in the ground that Abram ended up in at the end of the process)

Abram helped by scooping:


Turning:


And flinging:


Quite the fun afternoon for the Bug, who is getting a bubble bath with Gigi right now, while this sweet girl goes on a third hour of her afternoon nap.  


Good times in McCall, Idaho!

...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...

... of innovation

This is along the lines of my Seat Sling contraption, although I'm not looking to sell this (I guess I ended up not really looking to sell that one either).  I just thought I'd share a little solution I came up with to help with a common mom problem. Abram slept in a Peapod from August of last year until the end of January of this year.  That's 6 months of a two year old sleeping in a tent. This may sound horrible to some people, but he loved it.  He got so used to it and it was a little like a security blanket for him.  We didn't let him have anything in there with him while he was sleeping, but just being in it made him so comfortable.  We slept in eight houses over the course of those  six months (and he took naps in a few others) but, by the grace of God, his naps and nighttime sleep were pretty amazingly consistent.  Even the transition over here went really well.  I thank God for the Peapod and I would recommend it to anyone with a child...
