These three think they run @christchurchnashville, and I’m definitely not going to tell them otherwise! I love watching them become like siblings especially every Sunday morning when their moms drag them to band rehearsal and they learn the aisles of the Sanctuary are perfect for racing and playing. I am grateful for our community ☺️
Today is my big sister’s birthday, and there will never be enough words to say how much she means to me! . She is always the first to listen and then make a plan because “there is always a solution” - but that genuine empathy paired with the wisdom to know what the next right thing should be is something that is not often found so strongly in a person as you often get one or the other. She loves fiercely and always fights for those who have the joy of being loved by her. She has always been a model to me and I have strived to be like her since I was born, but with each new season, I find more reasons to look up to her as a friend, wife, mom, working mom, daughter, and simply a powerful woman in every aspect of her life. I love you @annatrent and celebrate your life, especially this day!! . 📷: @northernnativemi
New blog post “Mother’s Day for All of Us” - link in bio. . I have always had a strange relationship with Mother’s Day – it has held the biggest both/and for me of the Hallmark holidays. And this year, I feel the unique dance of the both/and in my very bones as I am carrying life in my womb with a baby due in October but also find myself still grieving our two babies we lost last year, with the due date of our second miscarriage being this very weekend. And I want to honor that my journey of motherhood carries deep loss and deep joy, and I bear the battle scars of both. . (continued on the blog) . 📷: @alyssajoyphoto
Well Aiden had a fun morning getting to hang out with a nice policeman at our house - even getting to sit in the police car and turning on the lights - though we wouldn’t quite classify the reason as fun. . My husband discovered in the middle of the night that our shed door was broken down and all of his nice lawn equipment and his nice mountain bike were stolen. Of course we are grateful it was only stuff outside and not in our actual home, but it still feels violating and extremely frustrating. . After talking to our insurance, it looks like it won’t really be worth it to file an insurance claim. So if anyone knows of some good used lawn equipment for sale, we would be grateful for the recommendation. Also on our final to-dos of renovations to this house (after we have already needed to do a ton to it 💸), we already were thinking of getting a fence and a new shed, so we would be grateful for recommendations in those areas as well. . At least Aiden has a great story to tell his friends at school today! Naturally, he put on his cape and superhero mask this morning with grandma and used his play sword, going to all the rooms and windows in our house telling the bad guys to stay outside. Haha.
Aiden is finally going to be a big brother, and we are thrilled to announce we are having a baby early October!!!!! . What a journey to get to this place. There is no way I could have made it through without @scottkcrider, who has been a rock through everything, especially our two miscarriages last year and all of my crazy hormones and fears and hopes all intermingled in the midst of this pregnancy. Babe, I love you more than I can say, and I cannot wait to see you continue to be the best father to our kiddos!! . #rainbowbaby
What a sweet moment at our @christchurchnashville Ash Wednesday service last night when Aiden wanted to be a part of getting ashes on his forehead with everyone else. So grateful for a church that embraces these holy days and encouraged the involvement of our kids.
