Quotes to keep you laughing

The following quote is Josh after a 12 hour day in basketball gear (aka spandex shorts)

"Man D...I just got outta my spandex and it feels GREAT....pretty sure its how you women feel when you get out of a bra after a long day"

Lesson learned: If you want your husband to reconcile with your "beauty pain" stuff them in reallllly tight spandex for 12 hours!

Josh and I really like to name things...take for example stuff animals, cars, ect. Upon getting our GPS from our brother we decided we were going to name it. We decided it was best to get to know our GPS before naming it. About 3 hours into a 13 hour drive I decided to ask the if he thought our GPS was a male or female. The conversation went like this:

"So Love (thats our nickname), do you think its a boy or girl?"

(it had what seemed to be a female or feminine voice which is why I thought he would say its a girl...but he made a different observation that instead got him smacked)

Josh: "OH its definitely a guy"
Me: "why do you say that?"
Josh:" its not like my mom's and dad's that talks every 5 seconds...this one doesn't talk until he absolutely has to..my mom and dad have a girl GPS that thing never shuts up...but this is definitely a guy he chills"
Me: (SMACK) HUMPH.....(scowl)....laughter...because he is right....his mom and dad's GPS does NOT shut up!

Oh and we decided to name it Baby...because it is a baby sometimes it doesn't know its right from its left...I GUESS HE REALLY IS A MAN :) OOHHHH STING...I GOT THE LAST LAUGH!

Lesson Learned: He may get the first laugh...but be patient...because its better to have the last laugh and TRUST me...women always get the last laugh :)

Going along with the naming story...we got our car in France and I asked Josh if he named it (because I am still in the states). He said no he wanted to wait for me so we could name it. But I wanted to know if it was a boy or a girl (as you can tell the sex of our children will never be a surprise..i will need to know!) The conversation went like this:

Me: "Love, is it a boy or a girl"
Josh: "OH its a girl FOR SURE"
Me: "why do you say that?"
Josh: "Because I had to get to know her...she didn't just let me ride...She was giving me attitude. I had to butter her up, rub her down..sing to her...now she digs me."

Lesson Learned: Even cars can be sweet talked...so instead of kicking your car that won't start...trying singing it a love song :)

Dare to wonder....

It is dangerous to wonder....it is even more dangerous to share what you wonder, and why you wonder what you do, but here is to the daring!!!! Josh and I were sitting here...just staring at our little darling as she drifted off to sleep and we began to wonder.... Have you ever watched a baby...especially a newborn when they are awake? You will see them looking above you and behind you with great focus and alertness. I always wonder...what are they looking at? Sometimes they coo and smile at whatever it is so you can't help but wonder, what do they see? What about when they sleep? Do you ever notice how they smile so much as they sleep? What do they dream about? Roselyn laughs in her sleep and it is the sweetest thing! What is she laughing at? I have heard it been said more than once that babies can see angels. The Bible indicates that God reveals things to them; "At that time Jesus said, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things fro...

Moment of Reflection

Frustration to the up-most: What we have when we cannot control things in life. When I feel out of control I feel most helpless. I need control, it is my professed weakness. God deals with me constantly in this aspect of my life. This is my wilderness lesson that God repeats year after year in my life. He may spend the next 40 years beating me with this lesson, and I welcome it, because with each beating He opens my eyes. Unfortunately, I cannot understand why the lesson does not sink in so I can move onto a different lesson. Since arriving in Israel, as many of you know, life has presented us with MANY challenges. I guess I wasn't expecting these challenges. See, the year before my husband and I got married I prayed over every aspect of life by categories (as not to forget anything) every day of every week. Our first year of marriage was so smooth, Josh's basketball contract and everything that went with it was perfect! So I did the same knowing we had baby on the way...and I...

Why did you choose homebirth?

We patiently waited for our name to be called by the Department of Interior associate who would help us process the paperwork necessary to record the birth of our daughter in Israel. At this time our sweet girl was 5 days old. Leading up to her birth I was asked and re-asked the same question in one way or another, usually with an undertone suggesting I am crazy : *Why don't you have your baby in a hospital? At first I would offer people the numerous reasons I chose homebirth: 1. I want a natural birth (truly natural) 2. I want a relaxing environment 3. This is not a medical condition it doesn't require a hospital to occur 4. I have always wanted to do it 5. My body was designed to do this and the best place for me to do it is at home 6. I feel it is the safest option for my child and myself 7. I don't agree with hospital protocols for childbirth and the list goes on....(I am more than willing to expand on these reasons if you would like, just email me). H...
