November 13: Rose was baptized in the hospital the day she was born but this weekend we were able to celebrate her new life with our friends and congregation. God continues to lavish us with His goodness. We thank Him for all the people He has put into our lives surrounding us with love, prayers, support, laughter and encouragement.
Most especially we thank Him for our dear Rose and the everlasting life she now has in her baptism through Christ’s death and resurrection. What a miracle.

November 10: Rose is 6 weeks old today! 6 weeks just feels like one of those milestone weeks. We’ve been home from the NICU for 3 weeks now and I still haven’t gotten anything figured out. I have no idea how to do life right now.
None of my go to tricks are “allowed” this time around until she can support her head better, no car seat, no bouncer, no swing and worst of all the baby carrier I’ve used for years to wear babies while I get work done isn’t working for Rose yet. She’s not figured out how to nap well unless I’m holding her BUT she’s sleeping at night! Silver linings.
She’s starting to smile for reals and trying really hard to talk to Mama… heart melt. Happy 6 weeks baby.

November 5: Our Mercy turned 8! She wanted a Mercy Watson party. This is one of her favorite book series which is hilarious to me since I never wanted to introduce it to her for fear that she would be quite *unamused* that the main character, Mercy, is a PIG. I couldn’t have been more wrong.
In the books Mercy’s favorite thing to eat is hot buttered toast. I thought it would be fun to make the cake look like a stack of buttered toast. I sliced up a pound cake and drizzled it with vanilla icing. I was worried the kids wouldn’t like it but again I was happy to be wrong.
