It Is Well

When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

It is well, with my soul,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!
My sin, not in part but the whole,
Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more,
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!

It is well, with my soul,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

And Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight,
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,
Even so, it is well with my soul.

It is well, with my soul,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.


Powerful, Powerful song for this Easter Sunday! May we always remember that Christ took our sin, not in part but the whole and it was nailed to the cross through Jesus and we bear it no more! Praise the Lord! Amen!

Carter's 5 Months Old

5 MONTHS!!! Crazy Crazy Crazy!





*I'm rolling over all the time now. I  actually prefer to roll from my back to tummy more now than my tummy to back. We had a hard transition for a few days sleeping once I decided to roll over in my crib!

*I don't need a swaddle anymore to sleep at night.

*I like sleeping on my side or tummy now at night.

*I love grabbing and playing with all my toys now. I also want to put them all in my mouth.

*I started enjoying my jumperoo.



*I still love standing standing up with mommy and daddy's help.

*I'm sleeping 10-11 hours at night. Every now and then I'll wake up in the middle of the night because I'm looking around on my tummy.

*I'm still just eating breast milk. Usually 7 ounces every 3 hours during the day.

*I've gotten better at taking naps. Usually I take one after each time I eat. But I only like to sleep 30-45 mins at a time.

*I love spitting now with my lips and blowing bubbles. 

*I love smiling and even laughing more now.



Carter really is such a happy boy!! He's full of life and joy. Kevin and I are sooo blessed.

A Day of Firsts

Today was a special day!! Well for one, Carter had his first plane ride today!! He did GREAT! Our first leg, he slept the whole time. We had a little mishap with changing a diaper in between flights, but other than that, he was so good. His ears didn't even seem to bother him.





But the other reason it was special, was Carter got to meet his only Great-Grandparents today. We've had some heart ache over the last 3 years as 2 of my grandparents and 2 of Kevin's grandparents passed away. We are sad they didn't get to ever meet Carter. But, one set of Kevin's grandparents finally got to meet our special guy today!!  It was a special time!! He showed off alot for them and was such a sweet boy!!
