Strong Mama: October 2013
http://tmwray.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Finding strength in the vulnerable, exhausting messiness that is motherhood. Wednesday, October 30, 2013. Even with My Dark Side. Everybody’s got a dark side….Will you love me? Even with my dark side? This modern song has blared through the radio for months, not only getting stuck in my head, but also telling again the timeless truth that haunts humanity. The song asks the pleading question that every relationship must reckon with. The greatest opposites seem to have become our greatest fascination.

Strong Mama: November 2013

Finding strength in the vulnerable, exhausting messiness that is motherhood. Friday, November 22, 2013. Robert Frost said, “In three words I can sum up everything I’ve learned about life: it goes on.”. I smiled when we said goodbye. I wanted him to remember me that way. He had tried to comfort me with inspiring words painting an end to our long-distance and a beginning to our glorious future, “Just think, we’ll never have to say goodnight on a laptop again! To come home, and I’m going. It was sickening t...

Finding strength in the vulnerable, exhausting messiness that is motherhood. Wednesday, March 4, 2015. Birth Story for My Baby Boy. Finally at 5 in the morning, I called my mom to say what in the world and owch. She commiserated with me about back labor and agreed that it was really hard to figure out contractions because the back labor masked it. Finally, it came at about 10 minutes. And then another came about 11 minutes later. They had really slowed down. My back was still hurting though. It was so mu...

Our Forever Family: March 2014

Monday, March 31, 2014. This morning, I came in to the kitchen to find Bethany dancing and moving her arms. Smiling, I asked her "Are you swimming? She enthusiastically replied. So I joined in the fun and we swam together and giggled in the kitchen. After I laid her down, I explained to her that her lovey blanket was dirty and that I would put it in the wash in just a minute so it would be ready for her after her rest. She replied "No no no!

Our Forever Family: December 2012
http://tjholloway.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, December 27, 2012. The Holloway's 12 Months of 2012. This has truly been a whirlwind year for us! We've traveled well over 10,000 miles, visited 7 states and driven through many more. And I thought the best way to give you a feel for what we've been up to this year is to give you a monthly play by play! We were blessed with a visit from Travis' parents. This was their first time meeting Bethany, and we loved having them here for their short, but sweet, trip. Making a cardboard box car with dad.

Sunday, October 27, 2013. Every year, the city park and local businesses put on a trunk or treat a few days before Halloween as a friendly way to advertise and get people in to their stores. This was our first year going to it, but it will definitely be a yearly tradition now! We started out our "treating" in the park:. It was chilly, so we bundled up the girls well:. Grace and Bethany loved seeing all of the stores' mascots! Eat n Park Smiley Face. State Farm Insurance Bear. And of course Elmo! Bethan...

Sunday, December 29, 2013. Bump Bump BABY Bump. I thought it'd be fun to make a post of only baby bump pictures for this twin pregnancy, so I (we) can watch my tummy grow as the pregnancy progresses, then I'll update it as time goes on. It'll be entertaining to see the progression all in one place, no? Pre-pregnant shot of me on Mother's Day 2013 (for reference). The first bump pic of the pregnancy, taken on July 24th, at about 13 1/2 weeks along. 37 Weeks- The final picture! Posted by Jenny and Travis.

Everything looks good on the ultrasound (they're both very active! Posted by Jenny and Travis. Monday, September 9, 2013. 1st Day of Preschool! Ever since we moved here and saw Grace's future elementary school (which is conveniently located just down the road from us), she has been DYING to go to school! I hav...

Our Forever Family: January 2015
http://tjholloway.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 4, 2015. 2014 was another big year for our now not-so-little family! On January 6 (during the "polar vortex"), we welcomed our sweet twins, Kaylee Noel and Cambree Rose, into our family. Although doubling the number of kids in our family has definitely made things busier around here, having them has made us learn and grow in ways that we needed to, and has added so much sweetness to our lives. Kaylee, almost 1, is our little softspoken sweetie, with the sweetest little smile. She love...
