37 weeks: photo shoot

We so enjoyed having the same photographer from our wedding take pictures of Matt and I and my not-so-little belly. It was a beautiful Saturday morning with my favorite person, Matt, and a wonderfully talented photographer, Dallas. Here are the results of the day...

James 4:14

Not sure what to title this one so I just started typing. We'll see what comes to mind by the end. So, I just finished a novel by James Patterson called Suzanne's Letters to Nicholas . Great read. I think I may have to recategorize myself from "not a reader" to "good-book lover". I don't feel it necessary to call myself an avid reader quite yet because I still need the book to hook me by about chapter 3 to be willing to stick it out, but I am starting my third book in a matter of two weeks, which is completely abnormal for me! Who knows maybe some day my self given title will change again. Anyway, the prompt for me wanting to write this post comes from a section of that book. I'm warning you now if you feel the need to read the book yourself you may want to stop reading this post now because I'm about to give away the ending. Suzanne, the book's namesake, dies suddenly at the end and to add to it her one year old baby boy, Nicholas, dies ...

What's that you said, a minivan? Yes, please!

I have spent so much time on Autotrader in the last 2-3 weeks that I feel like I should be getting a pay check from them and Matt has probably logged more hours than me! It's crazy!  This all started when we babysat for a friend of ours who has an 8 month old. We had him on a Saturday night and took him, in our Corolla, to a softball game. The interesting thing was that the car seat would only go in the middle meaning neither front seat could go back very far. For me, not such an issue, but for my 6'0" husband who barely fits in the 'rolla as it is this would prove tricky if we had to ride like this day in and day out. Thus, the countless hours spent on Autotrader recently. We have decided to sell my beloved Corolla and buy a minivan! Yes, you read that correctly, a minivan.  Pick your jaw up off the floor and hang with me as I explain our logic. At first, we too were appalled at the thought, ha! Matt had, on many occasions, said we would never be minivan peop...

the early days

What a whirlwind week. Oliver arrived 10 days early and the last 4 days have been the beginning of a lifelong journey that Matt and I have been looking forward to for the last 9 months. Parenting our sweet boy. It has been incredible. I just nursed him and he is sleeping soundly and as I watch him I am in awe. In awe that God formed him, knows him, is pursuing him even now, and finally entrusted him to us. Just...wow.  [pause. the sweet one I was just talking about has just filled his diaper and this mama has a job to do...5 minutes and one dirty diaper later, we're back.] Let the sap continue...... He's perfect! Trust me, I know he's not really  perfect, but I understand that love a parent has for a child now and for just a little while I want to revel in the illusion that he's perfect. I think that's all I'll write for now. I do have pictures to share from our first few days. Oliver Graeme Turley 9/22/13 at 12:57 am first family photo ...
