Happy First Birthday, Jase!

Today is the big day, my sweet boy is ONE! I cannot believe
it. I honestly feel like it was just yesterday that my little man entered into
the world. This year has been incredible. I have learned so much about myself,
so much about marriage and parenting together as a couple, and even more about
the love God has for His children. It has brought me such joy watching my
little man develop over the past year.

His personality is coming out more and more every day. Jase
is the spitting image of his daddy, right down to his bright blue eyes, but he acts
more like me. He is social and loves to be around people. He loves to entertain
and be the center of attention. He is constantly on the go. He loves to talk,
he loves to play, he loves to explore and discover new things. He plays so well
on his own, surprises me how well he can entertain himself being a first child.
He loves to cuddle, which I hope he will never grow out of. He loves to pull
his books out of his wooden crates and sit on the floor and read them. His
curiosity is ever growing.

The past month or so I feel like things have gone so fast.
He has grown up so much and is looking more and more like a little boy. He is
getting so close to walking it is crazy. He can stand on his own, but only when
he is distracted. If he realizes he is not holding on to anything, or I have
let go of his hand, he quickly sits down. But when he is playing I catch him
standing there holding on to nothing multiple times.

I have taken to calling him my little peanut this month. I
think it came about by him being one of the smallest babies we know his age. He
ranges between the 6th and 13th percentile for weight and
height. So little compared to all his friends, so he has been called my little
peanut and it is kind of sticking. He is wearing anywhere between 6 to 9 month
clothing, sometimes I use 12 month jammies and t-shirts. But anything more than
9 month bottoms is way too big on him. He finally has three more teeth coming in
on the top, just finally broke the gums! He has grown up so much this month, oh
time won’t you slow down.

As always, here are a few of my favorites from this month:

Worship & Breakfast – Love when days start like this

This kid has a watermelong addiction – the face I get when I take it away for shoveling it in his mouth too fast!

He looks so tall here.

Getting outside more these days, love it.

Look mom! I can do it too!

Jase’s first zoo trip!

First CFA kids meal!



We had a lot of firsts this month, his first really bad sicknes. 102/103 fever for a week.

First Father’s Day for daddy! He missed it by ONE day last year!

We are weaning over here, Jase loves milk though!

Sea lion sho at the zoo!

We love Dewey’s!

You deserve to exist, with the same grace and love You deserve to exist, with the same grace and love that you so freely give to your family. It’s not just about holding space for them; it’s about holding space for you, too.

You don’t have to shrink yourself to make room for others.

You deserve to take up space too.
Sometimes, the habits that helped us survive becom Sometimes, the habits that helped us survive become the hardest to unlearn. Those patterns once kept you safe, but now you’re learning they don’t need to anymore. 

Give yourself grace—you’re unlearning survival. Healing takes time, and with each layer you peel back, you’re discovering the person you’ve always been beneath the survival.

And if you’re anything like me, you’ll really learn to love her. ❤️
✨ NEW SEASON ✨ I’m not a big fan of change. ✨ NEW SEASON ✨

I’m not a big fan of change. My nervous system gets all panicky and tends to over research every possibility that could take place. It likes to tell me safety is in the details. 

But I know that’s not true.

This year has been a big year of growth for me in this department. Trauma told me control was my safety, but the truth was all I ever had was a false sense of control. 

This year has offered plenty of opportunities for me to say, “Okay God, you have my yes, wherever that leads.”

No over research. No over analyzing. No predicting every possibility. No trying to control the outcome.

Just a heart that says, “Yes.” 

Even when I don’t understand. Even when I’m nervous how it will turn out. Even when it feels like right now isn’t bad. Even when my heart’s confused. 

Even when….

God has been asking us both a lot lately, “Do I have your yes, no matter what that looks like?” Friday was the end of a season for Chad working at the Appliance Guys, and today starts a new season of a new company. It was NOT an easy decision, and it came with a lot of tears (mainly from me - are you surprised?). His boss, where he’s been for the last almost six years, has been an incredible support for our family as we walked through some of the hardest seasons of our family. They will always hold a special place in our heart.

But God said “it’s time” and my faith-filled husband said “Yes.” I have to admit, I don’t envy how hard this decision was for him. It affects us both, yes. But he had to walk it out. And I’m so grateful for His leadership and faith to Jesus to step into the next season when there are so many unknowns.

Sometimes, all God wants to know is does He have our “YES” no matter what that means. No matter what that changes. 

May I live my life in a way that has an open heart to hear from God and a willingness to say “YES” even when….

(PS he was so thrilled I made him take this photo. 😂 But I know this season will be one we forever ever want to remember, because God always shows His faithfulness).
I wonder if they would have chosen life for her. I wonder if they would have chosen life for her.

I wonder if they would have seen what was growing inside of her, and the fight that was about to come on the other side, if they would have said her life was worth saving.

I wonder if they would have discounted her before she had a chance. 

I wonder if they would have made a prediction about her quality of life and deemed her not worth the cost.

I wonder if they would have saw the life saving measures she would need and decided that it was worse to let her live.

I wonder if they would have saw everything that could go wrong, the bleak prognosis, and compared her to statistics. 

I wonder if they would have made a choice to encourage a decision that robbed us all of the miracle we see today.

Whether 48 hours or 4 years - her life has changed mine for the better. It’s heartbreaking to think someone may have once told me she wasn’t worth it.
