I seriously LOVE this quote about parenting :. Making the decision to have a child is momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking outside your body" - Elizabeth Stone. Never is this more true than the morning of Kindergarten drop off. I wish I could say that with the second child it's easier. Cause they don't know what they're walking into.but you do. She took my train'. He pulled my hair'. I don't want to eat this'. You're not my mommy anymore' : a favorite saying of tiny #3. God's ...

guthe family: tiny#4 at 4months
http://guthefamily.blogspot.com/2012/05/tiny4-at-4months.html
So i've realized that instagram has caused me to lapse in my blogging. And maybe i can temporarily blame it on the house still being for sale and juggling 4 tinys. With an amazing iphone camera; sadly i don't get out my 'real' camera as much.mental note to do this more. London is now 6 months old.so these are a couple months ago. Since then, she continues to retain her royal chubbness! She is rolling across the living room floor one side to the other. My sweet tiny London!

When we found out we were headed to Florida, andy and i had this moment in the car where we exchanged a look : "you know while we're in florida we should go to . . . " nuf said. We realized that we would just be a couple hours from disney and with the tinys in the backseat and our oldest knowing how to read; we had to talk in code.(its a sad day when you can't spell out your conversations anymore). So the schemeing began. . . and 'operation tiny' was born! And this time with 3 tinys! But Lillian's reacti...

Motherhood the brutal, yet beautiful. So i find myself wandering a bit lately. Like a wave that greets the sand, never in the same place twice. Every time the wave washes back out, more of what's underneath that top layer of sand is revealed! I have been in the mothering trenches. Learning what to do with what the water washes up. What's left standing when the waves are stronger. I was emailing a neighbor today who's been so kind to me since we've moved. I emailed her :. Its so tough to balance everything.

My so called 'instagram' life. So a couple posts ago i admitted i had a problem. . . . with instagram. I take on average 9 photos a day.sometimes more. if you follow me on instagram you're annoyed. But i don't take them for you. i take them for me. I explained it in this post. But today i am struck by how it catalogs my day with my tinys. Today was a tough one. I have anticipated it for a few weeks. I don't love being alone. Its not a place i tend to choose to be. I am beat . A dr appt for 2, again.

Worthy of HIS worship. Aren't all moments of life worthy of HIS worship? Not just the sweet, life giving ones. but. The ones in community. I have been reading this book 1000 gifts by Ann Voskamp : i don't know where to start with the anointing of this book. in a nutshell, its that all moments are HIS, that 'all is grace', and deserves a spirit of thankfulness from us; to a God who is present, in control and deeply desires an audience with us. And ALL, means all. This is such a challenge for me. But like ...

If not now, then when? So, life is a constant state of adjusting, re-balancing, re-positioning, surrendering. Figured that out yet? I know i've said this before but its so easy to have this desire to lock into a pattern of discipline or routine or schedule and just stick to it. but what is EVER really like that? I'm making sure there is room for Jesus, my heart growth, my husband, quality time with each tiny, taking care of my physical body, friends, using my gifts.and so on. She's my tiny song bird.

guthe family: warm fuzzies
http://guthefamily.blogspot.com/2012/01/warm-fuzzies.html
One word : instagram. Hello, my name is mommy, and i'm addicted. Not sure who said it, but they were right; the best camera you have is the one on you. I have so many crazy moments throughout the day. Moments filled with giggles and sweet fresh tiny smiles, but more moments filled with drama, meltdowns, spills, bumps, reconciliation, tears, puzzles, piles of mess, dishes, ignored laundry, tiny plastic dinosaurs, trains, scrambled eggs, 2nd breakfast, dried playdough, and on. A still moment. this was ...
