the bed swap

Today, we did a huge bed swap. We moved the antique twin bed to be brody's bed, we moved Brody's crib and changing table to be in Walker's future nursery, we put the Cali King in our room, and we're getting ready to move our old Queen up to Walker's room later tonight. It's so fun getting everything in our house set up just the way we want, and it's so exciting and a little unreal that precious lil' Walker will be joining us soon!

We've been in this house for maybe 9 months now, and it's been nothing but a joy and a blessing. Almost daily, I thank the Lord for this beautiful house in such a beautiful neighborhood, in such a perfect location!

Andrew got to feel Walker kick for the first time several nights ago! That's such a sweet milestone!

My mom had a heart scare yesterday afternoon. It caught me off guard and caused me great concern for my parents. Thankfully, after many tests, mom's heart seems to be healthy and strong with no indication that it was in fact a heart attack, for which I'm so thankful. But... if I know her, and I know her quite well, I know that she's very scared and anxious and worried about how much money this is costing dad and she's worried about gma sally. I wish i could help her in some way. But I'll continue to pray and be thankful for good health reports!

Brody seems to have a hard time with understanding which phrases to use to convey time; so, he consistantly uses the same phrase whenever he's trying to nail down a certain time or date. And that phrase is, "Dis year?!" For example, he'll say, "Is Dapper going to Coram Deo dis year!?" meaning tomorrow morn. Or... "did I have any dreams dis year?!" meaning last night. Or... "are we going to church dis year?!" meaning this week. It's so darn adorable and I can't bring myself to correct him. He continues to ooze orneriness out of every pore of his body.

Jasper is sweet and kind and very eager to please. But he has started a mopey phase of life that sneaks in to his psyche almost daily. It's challenging to know how to deal with this mopiness and when to empathize with his boo-boo's and when to tell him to toughen up and when to discipline him for complaining and when to listen to him share his heart, etc. It's been challenging for me.

I planted a few herbs and flowers in the front pots! As I told my mom a few days ago, my heart has been missing herbs and flowers and vegetable plants so much. And, as I told her, these pots are so good for my heart. But then, Brody sat on one out of orneriness, killing half the flowers in the pot. Heaven help us. Also. I will cherish these days for as long as I live. Praise God from whom all blessings flow!
