Anna and Jules Deets

11/17/2023 · In: kids

What I’m finding adorable in Jules…

  • How she wants to hold your hand to walk anywhere
  • How she looks at book pages as if she’s truly scanning them and seeing
  • Her bed head. Funny and cute. 
  • How she and Anna can finally play-wrestle a litttttttle without my constant “Be gentle!!!”
  • Her being so much more vocal
  • Her sweet, contented face while watching Miss Rachel
  • When she tries to jump but her feet never leave the ground.

What I’m especially loving about Anna…

  • She’s blossoming at her k-4 program, growing and enjoying and being cared for by two amazing women.
  • A recent ‘I love you, Daddy’ at the end of a call. Precious.
  • Her bravery on the monkey bars
  • She is inspiring me and making me laugh by how much she loves climbing and being upside down on the monkey bars.
  • A little introvert, she now wants to read for 15 minutes “by myself” with the lamp on before bed. And whenever she gets tired of a crowd.
  • Her new joy in Facetiming the same 5 people every day to chat and show them the stuffed animals around the living room

We also had a good time one day — 30 minutes — around a pumpkin patch and didn’t buy a thing.

Woah the new challenges, the whining, the bickering over toys, the loud volume, but woah the grace and generosity of God.

I'm Chelsea... a wife, mom and friend passionate about cultivating a rich life with God.

This blog is equal parts family stories, faith reflections and creative delight.

I read a lot. I eat peanut butter every day. I like shopping secondhand. I love hosting people in our home.

Writing helps me pay attention, and paying attention keeps me grateful.

Glad you're here!
