dear august,

there have been the months (every month) that i have written that time has flown. this month really has. and not in just all of the ways in which you’ve grown but in all of the things that have happened in just a matter of 30 days. or at least all of the things that seem to have happened.

as you can see, august is not at all impressed. oh well. wishing you and your loved ones a HAPPY EASTER! hoping that not just today, but every day, you are reminded of how AWESOME our God is.

eat lots of chocolate and marshmallows.

with lots of love,
mark, sarah, and august

seven month pictures! sadly, i was surprised to find that i hadn’t taken a whole lot of pictures this month as we were pretty busy with guests. still some good ones, though! his eight month picture post is definitely going to be a hefty one!

mark was late to work this morning. i believe we woke up at eleven.

yes, ELEVEN. we were slackers.

but, darn it, we were going to watch a movie last night. if it was the last thing we were going to do. and it was. (har har)

dear august,

everyday, your daddy shows me what it is like to be more like Jesus. more than once a day, i am in awe that God deemed me worthy enough to be loved by him. that He deemed me worthy to share life with him.

i desperately hope and i pray that you find someone that loves you so much as to point you to Christ in all that she does.

i love you,
momma

dear little son,

today, you are seven months and 12 days old. your mommy has been really bad at updating the internet with pictures and news to your development and all of the wonderful ways that you’re growing.
