Best Valentine, best daddy ❤️✨#eisleyhope #avagalia #supernovajames

Seven months ✨ She’s changed big time this last month. Saying mama when trying to find me, belly laughs, running all over the house in her walker, refusing to roll back to front, scooting, sitting, bouncing on all fours, feeding herself smashed veggies...the list goes on ❤️ It’s fun seeing her personality turn into a little person. She thinks she’s hilarious pulling little jokes on us, like farting —> laughing or refusing to look at us —> laughing. Lord help us 🙌🏽 #supernovajames

This song played at our wedding while I walked down the aisle....Me: “Do you remember this song?” Tanner: “Yeah! It was your alarm clock for years.” 🤦🏻‍♀️❤️ #lovetruelove

“When you understand that you don’t have to justify your dreams to anyone else for any reason, that’s the day you truly begin to step into who you’re meant to be.” - @msrachelhollis

I found my grandmother’s recipe box today while cleaning ✨ Aside from her familiar handwriting on the recipe cards (mostly cakes, pies and cookies because she always had sweets but not necessarily for us 😉) there were numerous index cards with homemaking information on selecting proper china or rugs for the type of dinner party you’re throwing🍷 She would scratch down a recipe on the most random bits of paper. My favorite is the Lockheed tool status card ❤️

❤️✨ #supernovajames

Six months ✨ Happy half birthday, baby girl ❤️ I went back to work last week after spending six of the sweetest months with this sparkly babe. She is such light and joy. She has three other “twin friends” that were all born within a week of her. She’s the youngest of the four and I start getting all sentimental when I see their monthly pictures go up 😭 Happy half birthday to Mara (@mkcoker316) Lenora (@amandaraephillips) and Jackson (@bethany.pasztor) 🎉😘

This year has brought the most intense grief and joy at the same time ❤️ We love this joyful little person so much and wish she had her sister’s here with her. • May your New Year be filled with light, truth, and love ✨ #supernovajames #iamahopemom

Before and After of Nova’s Santa gift ✨

First Christmas is going swimmingly 👌🏽😂✨ #supernovajames

Another year, another stocking, another family ornament. The only thing that doesn’t change is the ache for our babies ❤️✨ #iamahopemom

✨ #supernovajames

Bass Pro Santa was 👌🏽🎄✨ #supernovajames

This sweet Christmas babe is five months ✨ These are actually her Christmas Eve jammies but she’s growing so fast she had to wear them now before they’re too small! • She has discovered a love for squash, all the twinkly lights, and Christmas parties 🎄She now sleeps successfully in her crib all night long, with an occasional need for mama snuggles around 5am. • She still has the best sneezes and side eye and can sit independently for 5-10 seconds ❤️ #supernovajames

I lost Nova’s first (photo booth) pictures with Santa 🙄😭 At least I got one on my phone ❤️🎄 #supernovajames

Sissy’s tree is up 🎄 #eisleyhope #iamahopemom

Hope Mommies is an organization near and dear to my heart. Their goal is simple, to give aching hearts hope. Hope that one day we’ll hold our babies in our arms again ❤️ Every year we offer a retreat for 75 women to attend, we celebrate them as mothers to the children they can’t see. This next year we’re adding a second retreat because we sold out so quickly last year. • How can you help? We pamper these mamas each year and celebrate them as mothers, focusing on their Hope Babies. This is costly. Gifts we give them range from $5-$15 per person. • You can help by either providing a gift if you’re the handy/artsy type or you can become a sponsor for one or both retreats. • Message me with questions if you’d like to help out! • Our retreat center is pictured above, along with a small corner of a prayer room where a piece of art with each baby’s name was beautifully written ❤️ #ilovehopemommies #iamahopemom

😍❤️🎄✨ #supernovajames

Christmas tree hunting! 🎄

Happy birthday, sissy ❤️🎉

February is Black History Month...a great time to learn about some amazing men and women that got left out of history. #blackhistorymonth

Twelve years ago today on a Friday night, I took a chance and visited a random college and career bible study group. I’m so glad I did. I’m so glad I met the leader and that we quickly became best friends that ended up falling in love. I’m so glad we went to Disneyland and had awkward and uncomfortable conversations that led to romance. 😉 I’m so glad that we are so different (see picture 2) and yet completely perfect for each other. I’m so glad that I’ve learned your sense of humour (see picture 1). I’m so glad that you’ve learned to enjoy vegan food with me (see picture 3). I’m so glad that we are together in this journey of life. I love you @christianburtt and I’m so thankful I met you twelve years ago even though I didn’t really want to be meeting anyone that February night. Thanks for changing my life forever and for the better!

good golly I love her. #addysengrace #gimnasticaartistica

her counsellor is a saint. #mercyadoniyah #howmercydoescounselling

march first is a romanian holiday. so is march eighth. but guess who forgot that february fourteenth is a usa holiday? 🤷🏽‍♀️ thanks to last minute creativity (my gift) and grammie’s gf/df hidden chocolate, we made it into a fun and special day for these two cuties. #mercyadoniyah #addysengrace

took these two to see daddy’s new work place then to an awesome library sale where we scored a bag of books for 25 cents each! #mercyadoniyah #addysengrace

Mercy’s sensei is absolutely amazing and has the best sense of humour. We really love everything about it! #mercyadoniyah #karate

Hello orange belt! #mercyadoniyah #karate

goodbye white belt...#mercyadoniyah #karate

these are not unusual pictures. no this is rather the norm. which helps explain why I was so uncomfortable pregnant. 💛#addysengrace #gymnast

so much fun in four little people. #mercyadoniyah #addysengrace

explaining her simple machine invention...oh and that that math is attempting to learn something she already knows but in english this time...which is basically the recipe for disaster. #mercyadoniyah #thirdculturekid

a kooky game of dress up. #mercyadoniyah #addysengrace

“...there might even be snow up the hill,” she heard her pops say. So she started putting on layers. She tried adding her winter jacket and mittens but I cut her off. #mercyadoniyah #romanca
