Happy Father's Day!

Happy first Father's Day to a wonderful husband! You continue to amaze me with your love and patience with our baby boy and your godly leadership of our family. I'm so proud to be your wife and can't wait to spend the next several decades raising our family together.

Happy Father's Day to our two wonderful dads as well - you have shaped us into the man and woman we are today and have served as incredible role models as we take on parenthood. We love you both so very much.

The idea for Caleb's gift to his dad, Grandpa (Sarah's dad) and Poppy (Tim's dad) was stolen from a couple friends, but was ultimately a product of Pinterest. It only took roughly 70 pictures and a tie soaked in pee (that's what I get for leaving Caleb diaper-less for 30 minutes... oops!), but we finally got 5 keepers...

The Name Explained

Introducing our NEW NAME (10/20/12): You may notice that the name of our blog has changed. You see, I've been trying to come up with a more snazzy name for our blog for quite some time, and it was actually Tim who came up with "Marching to a New Beat". I must say though that it's exactly what I was going for and for several reasons. Most obviously, it includes our last name (duh). Secondly (and more importantly), it reflects the newness of the stage we're in as parents and as a family. Everything we are going through right now is brand spankin' new. From giving birth, to changing diapers, to baby proofing our home, we really have no idea what we're doing since we've never done anything like it before... it's all SO new. That's not all though. There's yet another layer to this little onion of a name... I recently joined a weekly bible study called Bible Study Fellowship and we are going through Genesis. Additionally, our small group is reading a book called Forgotten God (by Francis Chan). In both of these studies, I have been repeatedly struck by how we shed our old sinful selves and take on a new being through Christ's death and ressurection. Our lives should reflect this newness, and while we often fail in this endeavor, we are called to march on (with God's help, of course).

And so there you have it... Marching to a New Beat. That's what we're doing everyday, and as often as I have time and relevant content, we'll share this newness with you and hope you enjoy each moment with us.
