Welcome Home, Scout!!

Scout was a wonderful Christmas present and we bought him in Powdersville, SC when he was just 5 weeks old. We really were so excited and had wanted a dog for a long time. When we got back to Charleston and figured out what our schedules were going to be like, we realized we had bitten off a little more than we could chew. Thankfully, Mr. Mike and Ms. Cindy came to our rescue and offered to help us with the little guy for a few weeks-months until things settled down a little for us. So Scout went back to Greenville when he was 6 weeks old....sad day :( We visited him a lot though so he would still remember us!

This is Scout at 8 weeks old when we went to visit him and his uncle Matt in Savannah, GA. He had gotten so big and smart! It broke our hearts to leave him again, but we knew he was in good hands with his grand-parents!

Then we were reunited again in Greenville when we went to visit with the Stanfills. I think he still remembered us and we got to play with the little guy. Yet again, we had to say goodbye for a little longer....

This weekend Scout is 11 weeks old and we decided to get him once-and-for all to be his parents. I know...it has been a long journey, but now he is back in Charleston and getting used to life with us again. We are very thankful to the elder Reeses' for all of their love, care and help raising little Scout.

Here is a picture of his first night back with us....wish us good luck as we embark on the journey of parenting!!!

On Faith and Suffering

Suffering....it is not an easy thing to bear up under. I feel that as life goes on, I am seeing more and more suffering around me. I have recently been through a tough season in my life. In the midst of difficult circumstances, it has caused me to look to God and question at times. I think sometimes in the Christian life, we are told, “Don’t question. Just believe. God is good all the time.” This, of course, is true but I think there is true beauty in the wrestling. In the coming out on the other side having a deeper faith because of where God has taken you on the journey. I have recently been reading in Hebrews and like God does, He somehow lined up the Scriptures and where I was reading to answer some of my questions right in the face. Questions like... “Why do people who love you have to suffer?” “I understand suffering is for your glory, but we already love you and are about your glory so do we have to go through it?” “Are you really big enough? Good? Faithful?” “Is it ...

Lesson in the Messes

I am having a moment where I need some blogging therapy....been so long since I have hit the blogging scene but today I just felt the need for some bloggin'. At 9 am today, I was covered in poop and headed down the road of a full on melt down (me, not my 2 1/2 year old or my 10 month old---ME). We are in the throws of potty training and my type A self is taking accidents way to personally....am I alone here? I pray not.....Anyways, Jackson says he has to poop but I cannot get there because I am changing my 10 month old's poopy diaper and I tell him just to go in his Pull Up. Which I am going ahead and embracing Pull Ups after an accident soaking the entire couch and another one involving a fairly new rug!! Anyways, I finally got him out of his chair about 30 minutes later and there is poop everywhere- I mean EVERYWHERE...covering the chair, my son, his feet, his legs but I do not realize how much body surface is covered until I get him into his room and start changing him. I...

We cannot wait to meet him and Ryan thinks that with the zoo/jungle theme we have going on in the nursery, Jackson is destined to be a zoo keeper.....we will see! I have had so much fun decorating and putting together his little room and I hope he loves it!!! Here is his crib with letters we made and a mirror that i love!!! His crib is from Target and the bedding is from Serena and Lilly  We got the letters from hobby lobby and then hot glued zoo animals onto the letters and the orange ribbon I was really into bamboo shades and love the way the windows turned out with the brown and white combo. His changing table is a dresser we got from the Pottery Barn outlet and then we got the cover from a shop on Etsy Ryan's dad repainted this rocking chair for Jackson. It was the chair that Ms. Cindy rocked Ryan and his brothe...
