my anthem these days

My hope is built on nothing less
than Jesus' blood and righteousness
I dare not trust the sweetest frame
but wholly trust in Jesus' name

Christ alone, Cornerstone
Weak made strong, in the Savior's love
Through the storm
He is Lord, Lord of All

When darkness seems to hide His face
I rest on His unchanging grace
In every high and stormy gale
My anchor holds within the veil
He is Lord, Lord of all

Hillsong - Cornerstone

2nd annual "bro pictures"

The boys got their pictures taken last week, my goal is once a year get professional pictures taken! Instead of my instagram shots :) Here are just a few, in no particular order, except the last one. Let's just say he didn't want to sit on the bench anymore!

Love, T

growing boy.

My 'lil big guy is so so so big. He's growing up fast. He is 14 months and 11 days old, he's in full blown toddler-hood. And diggin' every minute of it.

We love you Rocco Anthony.

Love, Mom & Dad

school days

Preschool started! Two days a week my big guy goes to school. This morning he woke up happy and excited, and said, "I get to go to school!!!" Off we went, and Daddy got to join us too. Enzo rode to school with Daddy, his special request. No tears (for either of us)!

Love, T

new shoes.

...new school shoes that is! Enzo's first day of preschool is tomorrow. He is so ready, and I am excited for this new learning adventure for him.

Great is Thy faithfulness

I am being reminded today of His continued faithfulness. Lamentations 3:22-23, the amplified Bible. "It is because of the Lord’s mercy and loving-kindness that we are not consumed, because His tender compassions do not fail.They are new every morning; great and abundant is Your stability and faithfulness."

Be bless'd.
Love, T

Enzo's 1st t-ball game

Saturday at 10:00 in the morning, Enzo participated in his first ever t-ball game. The first of many, and Mom and Dad had a great time watching. Dad offered to help Coach Logan, so he was given a uniform too (burgundy t-shirt). We look forward to ALLLLL the games he has in the future (remind me of this in the next ten years please)!

Here's a few pictures of how the game went. And I couldn't tell you if this was a win or a loss...and that is a hard one for the competitive side of me, so this can go down as a WIN in my books for my "big guy"...

From Mommy: Enzo, I am so very proud of you. You seemed to really have liked playing ball with your friends. You are a team player. You like to give everyone a chance on the field. I think you are an adorable little boy. I will always be your cheerleader. I am sure that you will hear me on the sidelines over every other parent, that may or may not be your favorite thing as you get older. Nonni taught me how to encourage from the sidelines, so it's only natural I do the same. I love you my big boy. I can't believe you are already starting team sports. Three and a half years has flown by. I love watching you grow up.

Love, T

ps. The last shot is of the "real" photographer. Thanks Andrea for capturing some much better shots :)
