Jesus said that if His disciples did not praise Him, then the very stones would cry out. One of my thoughts in response to that is, “How embarrassing would that be!?!?” Shameful, and embarrassing.  But what a word stating that God’s creation cannot help but sing His praise! After all, what do you think of […]

Sorry for the title… Today I had the surprisingly (??) unpleasant experience of emptying poop out of a toddler potty. On second thought, I do believe that calls for an exclamation mark, or several. (!!!!!!) Yes, Naya officially “took a dump” in her little toilet this afternoon! 🙂 We were hoping that she’d pee, but […]

actually, we haven’t really gone that many places. But being that i haven’t written an entry since Thanksgiving, it’s time for a little catch-up. Just a couple weeks after Thanksgiving, our freshman semester ended, and we flew out to Seattle for 3.5 weeks to visit our families and some friends over the Christmas break. Naya […]

Our celebration today was far from our normal traditions… and it was quite fun! We stayed here at the school and joined about 40 others for a potluck-style meal. The students who coordinated the dinner made the turkey, and the rest of us brought various side-dishes and desserts(I feel like we should play Outburst now…). […]

born on 11/02/09… 4 days past her “due date.” we are very happy to have a november baby though, i daresay! 🙂 we just like the sound of november, i guess. she was much bigger than we would’ve thought- 9 lbs. 2 oz! 20.5″ long. her head was 14″ in circumference. so here’s a summarized […]

2weekends ago, I had the fun of taking Naya to an apple farm with some friends from here at NTBI- 2 of her favorite little friends, to be specific: Jordan and Charley. Noe was able to spend the day at ‘our’ church helping install cabinets. Naya LOVED the apple farm, as you can see from […]

Laundry night! Yes, I love laundry night. So let’s try and figure out the main reason: a) clean clothes! (duh!) b) being out of the apartment for 2 hours! c) the smell of laundry soap I’ll let you think about that… whoever wins can do my laundry next week. 😉 Last weekend was to be […]

ok, i promise i will work on some ‘creative titles’ for my blogs… there just are no creative juices flowing these days. not to sound droll, or to nullify the word “joyful” in our main heading… but a word that might sum up the days lately (at least for my pregnant self) is: DREARINESS (rhymes […]

one month signifies a lot of things currently… -just over 1 month that we’ve been here at NTBI! -(and consequently just over 1 month that we bid farewell to our family…sigh) -just over 1 month until this baby girl should be born! (or a few days fewer would be nice!! hehe) ok… so apparently i […]

yes indeed, little Naya turned 2 today! i rather successfully worked with her throughout the day to say “It’s my birthday!” and “I’m two!” She is also practicing how to hold up two fingers. currently it’s just a hand with splayed fingers. pretty cute. 🙂 after a relatively normal day, including bouts of “Terrible Two” […]
