Chris took this picture over the weekend. I wanted a capture of me with my four on mothers day but clearly nobody is looking at the camera. I don't really care though I am so very proud of this photo and what it represents. All these amazing little ones that I get to gather up into my arms. I know this space has been pretty quiet the past few weeks as we are still settling in as a family of six. Not sure how "settled" we will ever be now. I frequently ask the kids to "settle down" but yeah that doesn't really happen much. Truthfully it's wild and crazy and there is lots of crying and sleeplessness and laughter and running and playing and life being lived in our home. It's full and so is my heart.
And my heart is still wrestling a little too over the events of the past month and my almost two week stay in the hospital. Everything went 100% best case scenario but it just takes a second to bounce back after something like that not to mention bringing a baby home to a house already full of young kids.
But I promise you I am here and planning to continue to keep this space full too. I love the community of friends that I have made through blogging and all of you so very much - thank you for letting me share life with you.
Just wanted to pop in and say hello I hope you are having a wonderful week enjoying life to the brim too! xoxo
There is so much joy in this photo, I LOVE it! Enjoy all the time you need - your faithful readers will be hear enjoying what you post when you can! :) Enjoy the itty-bittyness of life while it lasts.
ReplyDeleteI love this photo so very much! You are a beautiful mother, and just look at your gorgeous children, Rebekah--each one of them an incredible blessing, a miracle, a gift from God. I love that He has made you a mother of four, of these four--Simon, Levi, Josie, and Zeb. We love you all, and praise God for the story He is telling and will tell through your family!
ReplyDeleteAwesome. And with Simon not yet 6...it's amazing what can happen in 6 swift years...4 humans! Thank you for all the hard work you are doing raising my nephews and sweet niece...they are an absolute joy! You are definitely doing the Lords work. And you're used to no sleep by now, right? ;)
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love this photo! So precious....you and your children will look back on this over the years and cherish it. You have a beautiful family Rebekah and while I don' know you personally--it is evident based on all that you share here on your blog that you have such a sweet and loving heart. Thank you for sharing it with all of us-your readers. I always feel uplifted after stopping by. :-)
ReplyDeleteMany blessings to you and your sweet family!
Soooo happy for you. Your blog makes me smile. I love coming here and seeing pics of your family in progress. You are so blessed to have those sweet cutie pies in your life. Hey, I love the fact they aren't looking and 'posing'. I love the candid shots every time. Have a restful day, k? ~ Renae
ReplyDeleteI love that photo and am looking forward to all your beautiful posts, but also understand that you just had a baby...and #4 at that so take it easy! I'll be praying for a smooth (as smooth as possible!) adjustment to life with 4 little ones.
ReplyDeleteWhat an incredible photo... I can see this being one where you look back and see how God "started it all" with your 4th and final coming into the family and forever enlarging your hearts. Congratulations and what a celebration. Sleep when you can!
ReplyDeleteI love this shot. I don't think all photos need to be posed, but more importantly grabbing the real life moments. You can see joy in the children, and deep love in your eyes as you look down on the little one. Be easy on yourself. Try to rest. What a beautiful family you have!
ReplyDeleteHi! As the youngest of 4 kids myself (all within a span of 5-1/2 years as well), I feel like I am taking a peak at what life must have been like for my mom when we were all youngsters- my mother was (is!) amazing and you are too Rebekah! Take care, Jocelyn
ReplyDeleteThat is such a beautiful picture, I love the realness of it all and the utter cuteness of your kids. =)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing and being real, I always enjoy reading what you post, when you have time. =)
Beautiful photo, friend :) Can't wait to see what this chapter brings you - I'm sure it will be precious as all get out :) E-mail me if you need a DIY post, I have a couple things up my sleeve ;)
