Introducing Baby #5

07/7/2013

Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers! We are so blessed to introduce you to our newest little one!

Introducing Lillian Grace (baby #5) @AllOurDays.com

Lillian Grace

Born July 6th, 2013

at 5:33 pm

6 pounds 11 ounces

19 1/2 inches long

My labor and her delivery were definitely different than our previous births as she was born after only 3 1/2 hours of active labor.

We’ll have a full birth story soon. If you want to catch up, you can check out our other four birth stories. (I think she looks a lot like Eliya’s first photos. What do you think?)

Here’s another photo of Lillian at about 12 hours old.

Yesterday the kids and I picked up a friend and walked a local nature loop. The almost 2 1/2 miles sped by with finding awesome sticks, climbing nursery stumps, scrambling into branches, and searching for the perfect beach stones.

Our snack today is inspired by the audio book the Our snack today is inspired by the audio book the kids and I have been listening to in the van. Ninga Detectives has been playing as we go back and forth to town to do laundry, buy groceries, and run other errands. Then a few days ago, the characters were eating a fancy dinner at a Russian tearoom in New York City and caviar was mentioned.

I remembered I saw some at Grocery Outlet a few weeks ago, so I ran in and picked some up. Add in some simple crackers and cream cheese and this is our morning snack.

It was really easy but my kids are so excited about it. Just a reminder to myself that adding enchantment doesn't need to be meticulously planned or require copious amount of extra work. Oh, and that snacks make all learning better!

How do you add excitement and connection with the books you're reading or listening to? Let me know in the comments! (Also, watch our stories today for more about our caviar snack connection.)

Joy isn't an illusive feeling only reserved for those whose lives are glamorous and easy. Instead of being controlled by outward circumstances, joy is a deep contentment of knowing we are radically loved by God and entrusted with the great honor of working alongside him for his good purpose!

Happy Monday, friends!

We had an amazing scramble through a local river bed last week. (Scroll for more photos and a video of the amazing rock formations.) There were many reminders to "watch your step" and a few times I simply had to look away. As difficult as it is for me to watch them do risky things I know they will never learn how to do new things if they never take risks. We can help them think through problems and plan their steps but in the end they have to risk failing and try.
.
How do you feel when your kids do risky things? How do you encourage them to try new things? How have you stepped out of your comfort zone recently?

Last week we visited the Imagine Children's museum in Everett, WA. We all had a wonderful time. From a theater and dance screen to a water room and giant foam building blocks there is definitely something for everyone. Children's museums are such amazing places for kids to explore and problem solve through play.
