They make turning 30 even sweeter 🎉😘💛 #birthdayvibes

If you’ve followed me for a while, you know that Ezra and I used to spend most of our days like this when he was a baby. When I became pregnant with Ava and my belly started to grow, we just sort of stopped. Last night, my boy had a headache and he asked to “lay on mamas chest” 🥰🥰🥰 Oh my heart. #cuddlebug #momandson #myboyforever

Ava’s “smile” 😂

There’s a lot more to this picture than meets the eye. This weekend my in-laws came into town (husbands aunts and uncles). They live about 5.5 hours away and we spent a lot of our weekend soaking up time with them. I remember the first time I met them, I thought, “This family exudes love”. They accepted me in without any hesitation and from then on I felt included. We see each other a few times a year, and each time I see them, my heart is filled with love, encouragement, and a feeling of being. I realize not everyone is lucky to have inherited such amazing in-laws. But I wanted to make this point, because I hope you can find these kind of people. People who love you, make you laugh till you cry, and who support you. Those are the kind of people worth seeking after. 💛

I’ve realized over the last few days that God speaks to us continually through our children . Ezra was our surprise first-born. His personality, literally from infancy, has always been energetic, passionate, and relentless. He’s my fighter, and yet my very timid kid. God uses Ezra, daily, to prove my total dependence for Gods grace. He uses Ezra to lovingly show me my weaknesses, where I need growth, and how success in motherhood only comes by leaning on God. Ezra is my sweet reminder that God is working on me, and He isn’t finished yet . Ava, oh my beautiful miracle Ava. She’s my “on-my-knees-praying” for girl. She proves of Gods faithfulness. She is gentle, loving, kind, hilarious, and an adventure seeker. She never stops eating and she never stops making people laugh. She is proof that God hears us in our most earnest prayers. Just when I thought I couldn’t have any more kids, she came to be..and I see so much of Gods goodness in her . . What is God showing you through your children?

Girls’ pool day! 💦 Love when I get a chance to be one-on-one with my kids, and today daddy has Ezra and I have Ava! Enjoying the last weeks of summer 🌼🌞
