Lily's getting fuzzy.

Fuzzy wuzzy isn't a bear in this case, she's my precious little love child, who's head of hair is finally filling out. Sometimes when I go to snuggle her soft, baby-shampoo scented hair, her tiny locks tickle my nose. I love to rub my cheecks on her fuzzy head. It's very exciting. I wonder what color hair she will have? Daddy's dirty ash blonde? Strawberry blonde? Only time will tell...

Playing with tupperware

Doesn't look quite as enjoyable in this picture as I think it was in general. This is the first account of baby vs. Kitchen. She banged spatula, picked up lids to look, made a little mess....and overall, had a good time.

Not quite the Same

Changes are happening again.
Not sure what they are,

but they are.

I pray that the Lord would use these changes for good, and for His glory alone, and that I would continue to learn from this season of our lives, and myself, be changed.

Sweet and Speechless

There are no words to describe the feeling of having your very own child grasp your neck with her tiny hands, and wrap her legs around your abdomen in the most sincere and innocent plea for closeness, when they're frightened, especially.

It is truly a unique and moving moment. I think all other thoughts fade, and the warmth of child against mama remains. I have no other words to express this, just........
....
......
Love. The truest Love with the utmost trust that you, the reciever of such an embrace is their only safety. Deep and faithful love; the kind of love that reminds you of Christs love for us.

If only we would cling to Him the way my daughter clings to me....

Tender moments

I am so thankful to be Lily's mama. God is so kind. I just wanted to share her sweetness with you all. Look at the baby hand dimples...i nibble those fingers daily. Multiple times.

Cheesey...cheese heads...cheese balls....cheesin'

My husband and I have decided that we'd like to start a "club" for cheese tasting. As we sip our merlot, whilst nibbling the creamy and light notes of Havarti, we realized that, while tasteful, these two undoubtedly do not pair well. This mild Bella Sera Merlot needs a cheese with a bold flavor, something like the delicious "Comet" cheese we sampled with "sunflower honey" this afternoon on our Wegmans date, while this smooth, velvet Havarti needs something a bit sweeter, something like Barefoot's rose wine.

For those who are not yet turned onto Wegmans (or may it be just an east coast thing) it is a fabulous market, similar to Whole Foods. Double level, restaurant area, lounge area and many naturally inclined isles full of eye candy. I LOVE this grocery store. And while a fabulous "grocery" store with natural items usually remain highly overpriced, it boasts an abundance of inexpense.

I told my husband today that if I ever need to get away, this is where I'll come.

So, now we share wine, and he serenades me with soft melodies on the guitar. Truly a thing to behold. Love this man.
