Tal Quotes

Here's some quotes that have made me chuckle the last couple of days...
Tal: "Mom, I was talking to myself!"
Me: "You were?"
Tal: "Oh...I love talking to myself!"


Tal: "Snakes are lonely animals Mom."
Me: "Why do you think snakes are lonely animals?"
Tal: "Because they are so snakey!"


Resonate

"Lord, I pray that these verses would resonate with me today.
May they be on my mind as I remember
your faithfulness and great love for me."

~Psalm 25:1-7~
"1 To you, O Lord, I lift my soul;
2 in you I trust, O my God.
Do not let me be put to shame,
nor let my enemies triumph over me.
3 No one whose hope is in you
will ever be put to shame,
but they will be put to shame
who are treacherours without excuse.
4 Show me your ways, O Lord,
teach me your paths;
5 guide me in your truth and teach me,
for you are God my Savior,
and my hope is in you all day long.
6 Remember, O Lord, your great mercy and love,
for they are from of old.
7 Remember not the sins of my youth
and my rebellious ways;
according to your love remember me,
for you are good, O Lord."

~Psalm 37:5-6~
"5 Commit your way to the Lord;
trust in him and he will do this:
6 He will make your righteousness
shine like the dawn,
the justice of your cause like the noonday sun."

~Psalm 40: 1-5~
"1 I waited patiently for the Lord;
he turned to me and heard my cry.
2 He lifted me out of the slimy pit,
out of the mud and mire;
he set my feet on a rock
and gave me a firm place to stand
3 He put a new song in my mouth,
a hymn of praise to our God.
Many will see and fear
and put their trust in the Lord.
4 Blessed is the man
who makes the Lord his trust,
who does not look to the proud,
to those who turn aside to false gods.
5 Many, O Lord my God
are the wonders you have done.
The things you planned for us
no one can recount to you;
were I to speak and tell of them,
they would be too many to declare."

Wordless Wednesday~K$

In a fog


Dear Sleep,

I miss you!
I know we will meet again but I miss our long nights together.
The coziness of a warm bed, more than a four hour stretch, and the peacefulness of a quiet house. While this absence is well worth it, I am day dreaming about unbroken times together again.
See you soon....

Longingly,
the mommy of a newborn

One month in....

1st Daddy smile
Smiling at Mommy & big sister
(*Not the best pictures....furthering my desire for a new and improved camera.)

We are now a month into being a family of four and while we are sleepy there is much joy at our house! Between the stinky diapers and feedings we have been seeing some pretty cute smiles (from both girls) and some coo's and ah's from Miss Liliana. We will have to wait until Thursday for the one month check up but I am sure that Liliana is gaining weight successfully as she is already in size one diapers and quickly growing out of newborn onesies. Talia is still in love with her sister and shows her love by helping to change diapers, hugging, kissing, reading to her sister and trying to play with her. Lookin' forward to what comes next!
