Anna is now just a little over 3 months old. She is well over double the weight she came home from the hospital as. It is such an amazing thing to watch. It feels almost like a time lapse movie because it is happening so fast. We know she won’t always want to snuggle this […]
An amazing thing about kids and toddlers especially is their lack of pretense. What you see is what you get, if they are feeling something they will express it. Often with Anna, that means crying or curiosity, but every once in awhile she shows us the most beautiful smile and our world stops for a […]
Today marks the two-month-old birthday of Anna! One of the surprising things for me about parenthood is just how many hilarious faces kids make. It’s especially delightful with newborns because it’s just purely what they are feeling without artifice or pretense. These pictures are from this afternoon where she was particularly alert and expressive. But […]
With Anna we have had so many beautiful and fun moments, little adventures, and great memories already. But there has also been probably even more crying, sleepless nights, misunderstandings, not realizing what is uncomfortable for her, and just being pretty clueless as a parent of how to help her sometimes. Recently, Jetaime has been […]
“I knew when I met you an adventure was going to happen.†― A.A. Milne There’s something about having a baby that brings us out of the usual and into the unusual. This weekend I was walking Anna around Jetaime’s parent’s place. Anna was wide-eyed and curious and I had a lot of fun introducing […]
Yesterday I won a game of Monopoly against my students and I felt like I was the worst player among them. I was really good, I stacked up on houses early on and made a ton of money in rent. When they couldn’t pay my rent they gave me their locations until I had the […]
A few weeks ago we had a wedding celebration with Jetaime’s students. Jetaime and her friends had been planning this for months and it really showed. The whole event was so fun and the biggest thing was that we really wanted each student to have an encounter with God. In the morning I got to […]
