Calebs New Do!

This was hard to do...but necessary! Poor Caleb gets so hot during these summer days, so we decided to cut his hair:) He looks so adorable...but im sure that I didnt do a very good job, so Grandma Marie will have to fix it when she gets home!

Before I was a Mom...

A sweet new friend in my small group posted this on facebook, and I just loved it so much that I had to re-post it on my blog:) Enjoy; all you mom's out there!

Before I was a Mom,
I never tripped over toys
or forgot words to a lullaby.
I didn't worry whether or not
my plants were poisonous.
I never thought about immunizations.

Before I was a Mom,
I had never been puked on.
Pooped on.
Chewed on.
Peed on.
I had complete control of my mind
and my thoughts.
I slept all night.

Before I was a Mom,
I never held down a screaming child
so doctors could do tests.
Or give shots.
I never looked into teary eyes and cried.
I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin.
I never sat up late hours at night
watching a baby sleep.

Before I was a Mom,
I never held a sleeping baby just because
I didn't want to put her down.
I never felt my heart break into a million pieces
when I couldn't stop the hurt.
I never knew that something so small
could affect my life so much.
I never knew that I could love someone so much.
I never knew I would love being a Mom.

Before I was a Mom,
I didn't know the feeling of
having my heart outside my body.
I didn't know how special it could feel
to feed a hungry baby.
I didn't know that bond
between a mother and her child.
I didn't know that something so small
could make me feel so important and happy.

Before I was a Mom,
I had never gotten up in the middle of the night
every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay.
I had never known the warmth,
the joy,
the love,
the heartache,
the wonderment
or the satisfaction of being a Mom.
I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much,
before I was a Mom .

I know youre all dying to know what's going on in the life of the Svoboda's...so I'm going to tell you! We'll start with Caleb (since he's the cutest).  He is getting to big! He is rolling over, eating fruits and veggies and sitting up all by himself! We couldn't believe it...we got back from Chicago and he started sitting up on his own! It's very helpful because now he can entertain himself for a little bit longer! He's loves chewing on anything, especially your finger! He also loves looking at books and chewing on those also. He's a very content little boy and loves to smile and laugh! He is also VERY ticklish:) which is adorable! We go to the doctor next month, so i'll be sure to update you all on how much he's grown!

Matt and I are doing wonderful as well! We have recently been involved in a small group and it has been such a blessing to both of us! It is a young couples/family small group that meets each Sunday night--we are currently going through the Love Dare study--which has also been a blessing to us! I cannot tell you how many wonderful couples we have met and have started to build friendships with! It is just what we needed...we were starting to get a little lonesome for some friends, and the Lord showed us how faithful he is! 

Matt is still working at Red Lobster and is serving now, which is less hours and better money! So of course we enjoy that! He is also going to start teaching a small group leaders bible study in July. He is so happy to start having some involvment with leadership in the church! 

I am currently loving being a mother and also cleaning a bank in downtown Kearney for some extra cash(not much,  though). I'm slowly, but surely looking for a job--but im not in a big rush!

We recently took a trip to Chicago for Zach and Jacki's wedding, and had such a great time! It was so nice to be able to see my family, and especially see my newest neice, Noelle! Although we had a wonderful time, it is great to be back home! I've been decorating more and giving it that homey feel! We got Matt some new bookcases for father's day...and they look wonderful! I'll have to post some pics soon! 

Well, here are a few pics from our trip, and some of Caleb sitting up:)

HAPPY 28TH ANNIVERSARY!
