Kick, Kick, Wiggle, Wiggle

This morning Dylan came into my room around 6:30am and climbed into the bed with me. He laid there for a bit and then started rubbing my face. He said "Mommy, where's Evan?" So, I put his little hand on my belly and he felt Evan kick!  Then he yelled "Mommy, I felt him wiggle." It was so cute!

Evan has really started moving the past few weeks! Bryan has been able to feel a lot at night. I get to feel him move all the time which is absolutely wonderful but it is just so precious when Bryan and Dylan get to experience it too. Today I am thankful that my sweet little boy and my husband are getting to feel this miracle moving inside my belly!

Beauty from Ashes

I have heard the term "beauty from ashes" a thousand times in the past week. It wasn't the first time I 've heard the term but I've always just brushed it off. Since I've heard it so much lately, I decided to pay it some attention.  So here we go... The Bible says in Isaiah that God will give us beauty instead of ashes. In Biblical times it was the custom for people in great times of mourning and difficulty to lay down in ashes. Just imagine this...you’ve got a big problem in your life so you just lay down in a pile of dirty ashes. There is absolutely nothing beautiful about this scenario. So where does the beauty come from? Can ashes really be turned into something beautiful?   Scripture says that God is able to take the situation that burdens you or causes you pain and turn it into beauty. He can pick you up out of the ash pile of life and make something beautiful out of you. The Hebrew word for ashes is epher and the Hebrew word for beauty is pheer. Just m...

Please don't give me a wedgie!

 Would you believe me if I told you that life with 3 boys is wild??  You probably would, huh? I'm telling you, just an average Wednesday night in the Shaw household is full of all sorts of craziness! I did hear a first tonight though!  Bryan was wrestling with the boys and suddenly Dylan starts yelling "Please don't give me a wedgie!" Now by those words, you would assume that he didn't want a wedgie but the way he was shaking his booty in front of Bryan and laughing, proved that he really did want a wedgie! HA! Then, of course, Evan and Tyson started saying, "Please don't give me a wedgie!" (One in English, one in toddler language) So we had three little boys running around shaking their tail ends and begging for wedgies.  There. Is. Never. A. Dull. Moment. As you can see from this picture above, they got their wedgies! They thought it was hysterical! And I just had to show you the picture below, just to give you an id...

Boys will be boys...

Today was a pretty rough day. I haven't been feeling well since morning sickness has started to invade my life and the boys just weren't themselves today either. It was just "one of those days." When the rain finally stopped, I put shoes and coats on my little ones and ran desperately for the door. They needed to run and play to get rid of some of that energy! At first they were riding bikes and running around but a few minutes later, when I turned around, I saw them using rakes to splash in a big mud puddle. Normally, I would have probably made them stop immediately but not today. They needed that time of messy fun and I needed to watch them being the adorable little boys they are. Its funny that without anyone even pointing out the mud puddle, they just knew what to do with it. Boys will be boys, I guess! Today I am thankful for mud puddles and rakes. Who knew my boys could have so much fun with a rake in a mud puddle! They were absolutely cov...
