18 weeks and passing

By
It's basically week 19. But I hate odd numbers.

This is basically my life now.




It's hard to walk past the room and not look at the little things we've gotten so far, to touch them and imagine her in them. You are not forgotten my baby dear. 


PS - Google apparently puts all these pictures I upload to the blog in Picasa and now it's saying I've run out of space! I removed pictures I never posted, but I'm afraid I'm going to be deleting ones that are posted unless I can figure out a plan B. (and that doesn't involve paying for more space)
I really just need not be lazy and lower the resolution when I upload photos. But I guess it's a little too late for this blog! But darn it if I must say, going back over previous pictures... I love them all. I'll just start duplicating pictures you've forgotten about. And maybe start a new blog called 
"Mr Smith with children". 

Someone told me there is an online program that turns your blog into a book. I'd consider this blog volume 2. If there is such a thing, maybe that would be a cool idea to invest in.

since my journal is so neglected these days.

    My blog did the same thing with pictures! I deleted a ton a ton that never was posted. i haven't had any problems since. By the way, I'm so excited to see your belly on Sunday! I've missed it for 2 weeks so I'm sure it's all out!

And so it begins, again

At what point do you ... 1. Keep holding on waiting for inspiration to come 2. Try something different 3. Let go & walk away I'd say most of us are usually somewhere in between #1 & #2, but there are occasional moments where I find myself locked into another Jane Austin film with some oreos & milk ignoring reality all together.  Today, I'm trying to rise above some level of complacency & clear my mind at your expense. Mr Smith & I had a good run of it, but since blogs became obsolete in 2017 while Instragram chained us all to algorithms, I had no audience nor desire to write in this world. But times change, after it murders our souls, and alas we are famished for an authentic keyboard with less distractions again. So, let's catch up. They say it comes in threes... Since our job change in 2017, we experienced three more moves, three additional job changes (that don't necessarily align with the moves), and three additional children.  2018-2022 were ver...

To Live is to Change

I love change. I love variety. I love mixing things up just because I can. It's helpful, but it's kind of a double edged sword.  I'm terrible at consistency, even though Clifton Strengthfinder told me that was my #5 strength (I think they meant something closer to wanting things fair & equitable which isn't wrong). I not only move furniture in & out of my life, or make sure we don't eat the same thing too often... but I love that I can give my kids a flexible education. God knew this is something I would love & has allowed for it even when it comes with significant sacrifices (as many good things do). This has been a beautiful way to grow me over the last 4 years, and I definitely missed it, but I also started to doubt ever doing it again, which felt odd. I found myself questioning why I wanted to take the harder course. I had a little break with just E & M at home, but now B is back too, so I'm giving up some me time (I was never good at it any ...

Breaking Silence for Religion

I've never been good at being concise. I like words too much. I think outloud. And I haven't had time to blog all these conversations & posts & mental thoughts and it's eating at me to write it all down, to get it out there. These are some words that no one understands anymore: love, tolerance, faith, forgiveness, covenants, judgment, respect, moderation, self-worth, humility, equality...at least if they say they do, I wouldn't believe them. In truth, I think we should be forever understanding what these words mean. Yet I hear people affirming over & over again in their actions & with their voice that they want to be right and they want you to know it & accept the choices they're making. So much for democracy & freedom. They might say "to each his own" but I'm not idealistic anymore, people don't really believe that.  I reference "the world" a lot. Let's clarify what I mean. We can start with Holly...
