Intro

We named our blog “Raising Mustard Seeds” after the famous parable in Matthew’s Gospel. We had some mustard seeds of our own laying dormant in our hearts, and finally, the year before our marriage, we began to let those seeds grow. Our journey with Christ hasn’t always been easy, but it has bore more fruit than we could possibly imagine. And through the mustard seeds He planted in our hearts, He opened them to receive little mustard seeds of our own…

While Jesus in this parable is talking about how faith and our relationship with God should grow from something very small to something mighty and powerful, it’s applicable to our children as well. It is our hope that through prayer and proper parenting, our children will grow from small and helpless (tiny mustard seeds) to being mighty in Christ, so that they will be shining lights in the world and people will come to “dwell in the branches” of their faith.

So, this is our little space in the big internet where we will share our most likely crazy experiences as we start our family and we hope those who are close to us will enjoy laughing at us and with us, and maybe even learn something new :)

Baby Gianna, end of January pics

These are a few pictures from the end of January. I'll get caught up. Eventually. (Is that my new saying as a mom?)

 We call these awesome swaddleme swaddles "Baby Prison". She goes in there when she's being ornery, which is kind of frequent. She's so serious in this picture! She stared at me for like 10 minutes without flinching. She gets super docile when she goes in "prison" and it cracks me up. She kind of has an old man face, although not so much anymore.


 See?! Baby Prison sounds bad and scary, but she really likes it. 




I call these next pictures: Baby in a Box





 
 Jusssssss chillinnnnnnnnnnn'

Prepare  yourself for this one: (I'm really sad it's blurry)



We call this one "a face only a mother can love". I can't wait to one day put this in her wedding slideshow (unless she becomes a nun, of course)  and embarrass the crap out of her. For now though, I want to keep her cute and tiny.
