Day 145 -- 3rd Time 'Round Jammies

So far, there has been only 1 item that has made its way through all three children in the Sharp household.  That doesn't mean there might be more.  In fact, I'm sure there will be more, but this morning was the first time that I saw AJ in something that Breslin and Dharia both wore as well.  This morning, AJ needed a change of clothes, and because Sunday is laundry day, there wasn't a lot to choose from.  When I reached in the drawer, the only real option was a pair of pajamas that we bought shortly before Breslin turned one.  So, I guess first of all I should be thankful that there were any clean clothes to put my child into and then for the fact that now we have lots of clean clothes (they just have to be distributed to their proper locations...quite a feat, actually).  As I wiggled and finagled AJ's limbs into the snug-fitting, flame retardant material, I laughed as I saw and remembered what the jammies had on them: Bad Hair Day.  It was entirely appropriate based on the 'do AJ was sporting.

Thank God for 3rd time 'round jammies!

Lord, thank you for the chance to see one item on all three of my children throughout the years.  Thank you for providing us the means to clothe our children comfortable.  Thank you for the chance to laugh this morning and to capture AJ's most appropriate pajamas on this day.  In your name I pray, Amen.

Day 162 -- "Showing Us the Way"

Image
One of my favorite things about the spring is the baccalaureate celebration that takes place the week before graduation.  I love the chance to see my seniors in their caps and gowns and to praise God for their arrival to the finish line.  For every year since I can remember, I've listened to Western's Select Choir perform the song "Showing Us the Way" by Michael V. Ficocelli.  When I was a senior, I even got to sing it at my own baccalaureate.  That year, and every year since I have taught at Western, I get choked up listening to the perfectly fitting lyrics of this song.  Tonight, on a perfect evening at the Cascades Falls, tears ran down my face as I watched the seniors I taught sing the words of this song to their classmates, parents, teachers, and friends.  I smiled and cried a little more as I realized that someday there's a good chance I'll be watching my own kids sing it at their baccalaureate. I had to share it with you.  This isn't Western's

Giving birth to my daughter was a series of events I will never forget. On Tuesday evening, Colby and I went out to dinner. At some point in the evening, I told Colby that I thought we should head to the hospital. Given my history of delievering babies in a startingly short amount of time, I thought we should go to the hospital sooner rather than later (labors for both Breslin and Dharia were only 4 hours each). When we got there, I was discouraged to find that I wasn't very far along in the labor process, but they decided not to send us home based on said history. It turns out this was a very good thing. 20 minutes after being told that we could be there for a while, I was in the jacuzzi tub when I realized that the baby was coming RIGHT NOW. Long story short, I gave birth to my daughter in the bathroom of my hospital room. Even though it was somewhat horrifying, I find myself wanting to relive the details of her birth over and over again. I never want to forget the feeling of wel

We Dance...and We Sing...When We Play the Drum!

Let it be known that my son gets his money's worth out of his toys. Or, in this case, someone else's money's worth. Whatever. You know what I mean. The toys that he likes, he really, really likes. He uses them a lot for a long time. This particular toy is a drum that was given to him by our friends, The Tappans, at his FIRST birthday party. Needless to say, tonight he was REALLY enjoying his gift.
