Happy Birthday to my most beautiful, classy, strong, fun & courageous Momma! I’m so very very grateful God blessed me with you to love, care, listen & model what it looks like to be a humble, godly woman. You have been my rock and refuge and I don’t know what I’d do without you! I love you more than words can say & I’m excited for all that God has planned for you this year. by @sikaspock

Well how’d that happen? For the longest time he’s been my little buddy… tagging along with me to the office, Costco runs, meetings & appointments… always pleasant & chatty, eager to explore & content to hang. My shadow & my carpool. Sure I’ll be able to listen to MY music in the car now (though his choices were pretty excellent!) Sure I’ll have some time to make phone calls to friends and actually have an uninterrupted conversation (though his interjections were always hilarious!) Sure I can have some quiet time to pray & chat with God during my commute (though our conversations about God are the things I cherish most in this life). But boy am I going to miss the sweet times we had together.
A new & exciting chapter began for all of us today. Guys, he’s SO READY. And I’m so proud of him. I can’t wait to see all that God is going to do in and through him as he begins his scholastic journey. The ball is rolling now… I know it only gets faster from here. by @sikaspock

It’s been a year since you left us. And by Gods grace and strength and provision we’ve miraculously managed. Life has moved, kids are taller & wilder, I have more grays and a new job. So many things have changed but the ache in my heart to have one more hug has not. But I know it’s no mistake that your last day on earth you were reminded of the reality of the resurrection & “new life” as you wrote it in your BSF lesson, and this Sunday we will too. God is so good and unchanging, and so are His promises. So tonight I celebrate being one year closer to seeing you again Daddy even though I’ve got a few more laps to go…
And a huge shoutout to my mom, brother, husband & kids. You are true gifts from God & Im so grateful we can cry together, love, pray & hold each other up. What would I do without you?
And thanks to friends, family & co-workers who have loved, cared & supported us this past year. Grief is so tough. But it reminds us this is not what we were meant for. YOU WERE MEANT FOR MORE!!!! For life forever with our loving Father! Free from all the horrible things.

Also my brother designed Dads beautiful headstone (makes me *almost want to be buried) & we all got to make this gorgeous floral arrangement for Mom this morning curtesy of her dear friend. by @sikaspock

Flowers from my garden for a grieving sister.
Thank You God for making them. For their sweet scent that reminds me that while life here is fleeting it can be so beautiful, even in the pain and loss. Beauty is His balm that surrounds my heavy heart and hugs it close. And because of Jesus, death stings a little less. by @sikaspock

We were running SO late today. Like Evie’s-class-was-already-eating-snack late. But it was picture day. And it wasn’t raining. And their hair still looked good. So I had to snap a couple pics before dropping them off.
You’re welcome for this extra dose of cuteness today.
Also I realized I haven’t posted a picture of these two in a LONG time. They grow up sooo fast! taken in Timberlake Christian Preschool by @sikaspock

It’s been quite a while since I posted ANYTHING. Kids birthdays? Nope. Holidays? Naw. Significant milestones? Yeaaaaahhhhh….
Most days, if I get a pic, it’s usually about a thousand of the same quarter of my kids’ face or a random view of an end table. Which is fine. It’s fun to discover their view of the world.
Life continues to speed on at a dizzying pace, but I’ll try a bit harder to post a smattering of the extraordinary and the extraordinarily ordinary moments of our lives. These sweet, spicy WILD ones grow and change so quickly!

In September Ryan & I celebrated a decade since “I DO” and this past January we took our first big trip to St Thomas and the BVI’s, just the two of us, since Evie was born 5 years ago! And what an adventure it was!!! Guys, WE NEEDED THIS TRIP.

It was such a gift to spend so much quality time together, having the space to connect, listen, laugh, and dream together, without the sweet but incessant interruptions of our kiddos.
God is so good! I’m so grateful He gave me this man to be my best friend and fellow adventurer in this life. Of course I love him, but it was fun to realize that we actually still really enjoy each other! Like we have FUN. TOGETHER. I told him one night, “Don’t get me wrong… I LOVE our kids & our family… but I think I love US more.” What a beautiful thing to remember especially in this season of small kids and still some sleepless nights.
And we are so grateful for our dear moms who took our kids on their own adventures while we were gone so no one was missing anyone. taken in St. Thomas, USVI by @sikaspock

Happy Fathers Day to @ryan_mceliece who truly loves our kids with Gods love. You show them His unfailing kindness, grace, gentleness, compassion & mercy, and I’m so grateful you are their Daddy.
You’re the best wrestler, game-player, french toast-maker & hide-and-seeker. Thank you for being the best dad! We adore you!!! by @sikaspock

Happy Birthday Daddy!

That first photo doesn’t feel that long ago. Getting to sit on your lap and snuggle up in your arms. You have been Gods Fatherly love poured out on me. Thank you for teaching me so much in life- to never take no for an answer; to serve others with kindness and generosity of heart, time & treasure; to see God in the details of everything; to flow and adapt with change, set-backs or disappointments; to live life with a sense of adventure, curiosity and each day with a sense of purpose, knowing Gods made it & has a plan!

You are a treasure to me, to our family and to the world! Thank you God for my Daddy, Mr. Bill!
You make 80 look amazing & I don’t take a single day with you for granted. Love you! by @sikaspock

Because sometimes it’s the beauty of the simple ordinary moments that needs to be documented, not just the holidays, vacations or “big” things in life… by @sikaspock
