Friends, I’m sure you’re aware that Echoing Footsteps has been inactive for some time. Since the end of my 100 Days Series, Echoing Footsteps has lost focus and I’ve lost inspiration. I will be able to better look to the future, and potentially pursue a new writing venture, if I officially suspend my blog for … Continue reading
A Christmas Carol
I haven’t written a book review in a long time. It’s interesting to me how this blog has changed and morphed and moved into new territories, but also a bit sad. So, I thought I’d write up a short review of a short little novel I read last week. Over Thanksgiving we kicked off our … Continue reading
Joy in the Poop
When I think about the girl who loves to curl up with a cup of tea and a classic British novel, or enjoys dawdling in the Renaissance halls of an art museum, or relaxes with a soak in the tub and her favorite Thomas Tallis CD – I’m shocked, horrified and mortified to find myself writing … Continue reading
Taste and See
*Disclaimer: if the discussion of breastfeeding isn’t your cup of tea, you may want to skip this post and wait for another cute baby photo update* I’ve been meditating on Psalm 34:8 often in the past four (nearly five…) weeks. “Taste and see that the Lord is good…” Mostly I meditate on it at 3 … Continue reading
One Month Down
It would be hard to sum up the past month. The flood of emotions, the sleepless nights, the frequent cries for food – there is so much to take in. It is hard to believe I’ve had Alexander with me now for one whole month. September has come and gone, the leaves are changing colors, … Continue reading
100 Days: Mission Accomplished
Friends, we made it. This is the final post in my blog series 100 Days: Waiting for a Rainbow. On September 1, at 8:04 in the morning, we welcomed our second son, Alexander Jonathan, into the world via scheduled c-section. He weighed 6 pounds and 8 ounces, and was 19 inches long. The sweet thing … Continue reading
100 Days: Four More Days
This is part of my series 100 Days: Waiting for a Rainbow. The days are counting down, friends. Four days and some change. It still doesn’t quite feel real yet, to be honest. I’m not sure what will make it real. Putting the car seat in the car? The early morning drive to the … Continue reading
100 Days: Challenges Great and Small
This is part of my series 100 Days: Waiting for a Rainbow. I think about this blog almost every day, planning my next words. But recently I feel like I’ve run out of words, and energy! My brain is fuzzy and tired, and so is the rest of me! Finally today, we have a delivery … Continue reading
100 Days: Just a Little Crafting
This is part of my series 100 Days: Waiting for a Rainbow. I’ve been a horrible procrastinator getting anything done in my nursery. We can go into all the reasons why, but suffice it say that maybe it will be done before D-Day. Maybe. My dad has chipped in with his handy work. And my … Continue reading
100 Days: Are You Happy?
This is part of my series 100 Days: Waiting for a Rainbow. I love my sister. She has this really unique way of asking a very blunt question, and not at all offending you. I’m the queen of Not-Very-Blunt. I tiptoe around and sort of hint and nudge, which generally drives people up the … Continue reading
