He Cut It

By
Finally, after many months of "encouragement", he cut it back to the when-we-got-married length. I'm not sure what his motives were with the long hair; he didn't discuss it with me. He just knew I wanted it shorter and didn't feel like giving it to me until last week. He recently cut the sides down (to minimize the helmet look) so it's not a true before and after, but it's good enough to give you an idea. I know his mother was almost as happy as me. Almost.

Before . . .



After . . . 


And you know it's amazing he even let me get these pictures right? I guess this goes on his "remember that one time I did something for you" list. But you should have seen him: "Only on the couch, only holding Lexi, you have to do it right now or you'll lose your chance" and blah blah blah who looks at the camera anymore? Uncool people, apparently.

Kuddos to a man who can cut his own hair. I attempted to help once. I've never done it since…

    Yay! Tell Eric it looks more professional! It took Greg and I being dirt poor (bad hair cuts at great clips certainly helped) for Greg to let me cut his hair. Last time I actually got a complement from him! Now days, I will cut it most often and then he will treat himself to a barber shop cut once in awhile. Funny, though!

There is a Plan for That

By
  Perhaps I'm ready to begin again, again. I struggle to add more words to the universe & I feel the same with photos. I let two of my passions die, both rather abruptly. My posts used to write themselves, I felt so guided in what God needed me to say. But this past year, my words have been removed. I moved from this blog over to Instagram as a better place to connect, but then everything became a distraction, and even the good distractions soon became too overwhelming. I can't possibly do every craft or recipe I've saved at this point. Unfortunately, I became painfully aware of my addictive attachment to my algorithm & lost much of my peace & productivity because of it. Satan knew, but I was too slow to recognize complacency & emptiness disguised as creative options & worldly debates. "The days are gone that you can be a quiet and comfortable Christian." I am definitely not raising quiet Christians, but perhaps we are still trying to be too co...

Our Baby Story - Alexis

By
Alexis Jane Smith 04.27.13 - 5:16PM 8lbs 15oz - 22.5 inches brown hair, undetermined (blue) eyes NB clothes are too tight You hate diaper changes You love being swaddled You are a piranha for food Your skin is perfect You sleep better with noises You came out sucking on your fingers But luckily you're not a scratcher Basically, we think you're perfect. First day at home photo Dear Lexi,  We couldn't handle holding you inside my stomach for another minute. We made an appointment when the contractions never came. Things were changing, but you were still 7 days late. Maybe we were eager parents, but now that we have you in our arms, we understand why, really understand. You're amazing . By the time we showed up at your 6 AM hospital appointment to be induced, I was already 3.5 cm dilated & 90% effaced & having mild contractions. So mild I thought I might have had high pain tolerance because I didn't feel th...

We're patiently waiting

By
Picture Mr Smith putting together the pack-n-play. He was so cute. Mostly when he had to read the directions. Do we have a child? Don't ask such silly questions. Hopefully it won't collect too much dust in 5.5 months. We're ready now . . . (but not really) It has a changing thing and a removable bassinet that vibrates.  I'm okay with not needing a changing table.  It will probably mean we won't get a crib for awhile too.  Next we need to hear from our baby/exercise friends a good car seat & jogging stroller (maybe ones that work together)... Any favorites? Then a blanket . . . Then a breast pump . . . Then a diaper bag. . .  Then lots of diapers, toys & cute clothes.  And even a mobile.  Then they get older and there's even more things. Mr Smith is just so thrilled. I'd love to hear about any products that you recommend/absolutely love having. Here is one thing you can do to annoy Mr Smith: go ...
