K.O.

Today I watched someone get knocked out with words.

I've heard of this happening before, but never witnessed it. Until today.

It was as if the words struck, fist clenched, colliding against the jaw. One swift collision. I watched the blink of shock behind the force of the words cause the person to physically stumble.

I stood powerless to help. Should I pretend I hadn't seen it? Should I rush over to comfort and console? I froze trying to remain expressionless waiting for some clue as to how to proceed.

Ignore. Move on. Keep treading. That was the route chosen. For better or worse I followed.

Weight loss

Not much like waking up and loosing a pound.

Hit the breaks!

Dear Silas,
I've just completed my first week back at school. In only one week I feel like you've grown by leaps and bounds. Please let me be a part of it and don't grow too fast. I don't want to miss it! I soaked up all your love and showered you with mine over the weekend. Gearing up for week two.

I love you! You are so special to me!

Looking back...

5 Years of marriage

5 years ago, my husband and I asked the Lord to guide our lives together. 

We never could have guessed how many blessings he would decide to give us!

What a pallet!!

I love that we have exposed Joshua to do many different kinds of food. This week alone featured tilapia with brown rice and navy beans, Thai chicken pizza, jerk chicken and grilled pineapple, and sushi. Much of this has to do with the fact that I hardly cook. Michael does most of the cooking and he encourages a wide variety.

Post Miso Soup,  rock'n' the chop sticks, enjoying his edamame, "carrot noodles" and krab roll. 

Brother goodbyes

Bento Wednesday

I love the options that the muffin cups offer.
