Who knew that furniture stores had Halloween sales? I found that out this year. We’ve been wanting a table for our kitchen that seats more than 2 people at a time. In fact, we wanted one that seats 8. The weekend before Silas was born, we ordered our kitchen table. Silas was delivered before the… Read More Table Delivery
Each day we marvel at the gift God has given us in Silas. The miracle of birth is a beautiful manifestation of God’s goodness to us. While we long to be perfect parents, we know that is an impossibility. Still, as Stephen told me the other night, we desire to parent Silas as God parents… Read More Beginning Parenthood
Proudly announcing the arrival of our son, Silas Clark, on Tuesday, November 2, 2010 at11:36am. He weighed 6 lbs 11 oz and was 19 inches tall. God is so good and merciful, and Stephen and I are so thankful. My last day as a pregnant lady. This was right after we found out we were… Read More Silas Clark Moody’s 0th Birthday
At my appointment today, we expected to discuss options in case the baby decided not to come by his due date. Instead, we are being induced tonight! Mommy and Daddy are in shock–happy, terrified shock! The doctor did an ultrasound and measured the amniotic fluid around Baby. While we’re not in the danger zone, we… Read More Headed to the Hospital
Dad & Mom expecting their first born son. Stephen & Elisabeth expecting their first born son. My physical state this past week can be summed up by one phrase: “I don’t feel like doing anything besides giving birth!”

Not being a “theme person,” I decided to go with a color palette rather than choosing themed decor. I decided on blue, brown and white. (The… Read More A Nest for Baby
Here’s a picture I took the other day on my way to work. It was pretty cool to see rain and the rainbow. We’ve finally been able to enjoy opening our windows as temperatures have been in the 70’s and 80’s during the day and in the 60’s and 70’s at night. Welcome, autumn! How… Read More Fall Weather?
Hospital bags packed. Pediatrician chosen. Pre-registration form mailed. Insurance decided. Babysitter found. Birth plan completed. Pedicure enjoyed. To do: Finish nursery. (it’s almost there…honest!) Install car seat.
Surprise visits are always great–especially when they’re with family. I was surprised this morning with a message from my Aunt Vonnie saying she was in town and wanted to get together for dinner. I knew she was headed out to Phoenix for a nurses’ convention, but had completely forgotten about it. We picked her up… Read More Dinner with Aunt Vonnie
To think that God the Father justly should punish me for my sin, but instead, He mercifully pardons me as I am clothed in the righteous robes of the perfect Jesus. To think that Jesus Christ, God’s Son, absorbed the wrath of His Father that was directed at me. Such life-changing truths to meditate on!… Read More Our Advocate, Jesus Christ the Righteous
