My breastfeeding journey started off with nothing but excruciating pain, tears, frustration, shields, and every form of professional intervention. There were so many days I wanted to quit. There were so many days I questioned how we would ever make it to my 6 month goal, better yet, my 12 month dream. But we pressed on — and like most things in life, prayer and time made room for growth and healing — and by the grace of God, the thing I least looked forward to everyday eventually became the highlight. ———— Now here we are, 15 months later, saying goodbye to that highlight. It’s time, we both recognize it. In some ways I feel free, relieved even. But at the same time, I feel emotional and at a loss. It’s the hardest and thankless, yet most rewarding thing I think I’ve ever dedicated myself to. But that’s all of motherhood isn’t it? The forever daily selfless gift of yourself to another. It’s all such an honor — the days that leave you in complete thanksgiving and even the days that make you wish you swore. Breastfeeding definitely taught me a lot about both. 🤍 ———— (If you need me this week, I’ll probably be busy binging on everything Henry is allergic to! 😆🤫)

We made a few new friends over the long weekend 🤗🦒🦏🐆🦌🌱— thankful for the [real] friends who braved the rain to join us! 💛 @erannejohnston @jarrett.johnston

10 months ago we were hectically house hunting everyday in a city we had never stepped foot, in 100+ degree weather, with a 4 month old. 😅 We felt so torn between this adorable, historic, overpriced cottage in the city and an updated, convenient, cookie cutter house in the suburbs. 🏡 We ultimately (and somewhat begrudgingly) decided we needed to put our selfish desires aside and forgo the cottage — as it just didn’t quite meet all the needs of our new family of 3. 👨‍👩‍👦 But in just a matter of weeks — we found that our decision wasn’t a downgrade at all. While our new house lacked charm — everything was new and clean for our sensitive skinned baby. Our neighbors were closeee — but we quickly had a dozen people calling us by name. And while we couldn’t walk to any cool coffee shops or taco bars — William was home from work in 7 minutes (!) and we were a stone’s throw away from a playground, splash pad, and Henry’s favorite, a lively pond! 🦆 We have grown to absolutely love our neighborhood and have made more fun memories here in the Texan “burbs” than we ever could have dreamed. We’re not sure what neighborhood is waiting for us in D.C. — but we do know we will leave a part of our hearts here in this one. 💛

✨ Surprise! ✨WE’RE MOVING (again)! 📦 While we have absolutely LOVED our time in the great state of Texas, we’re excited to see what the Lord has in store for us at the capital! Henry, in particular, has some pretty sizable plans! ☺️🇺🇸

For all the things my hands have held — the best by far is you 💗

Happy 30th @billyfine! 🙌🏼 Your life (and the legacy you’re leaving) is so easy to celebrate — I can’t wait to see how the Lord grows and uses you in this next decade! ❤️
