Life

Life has been happening in our house lately. We're on a pretty disciplined schedule right now, and for those of you who really know me, that's not how I roll. :) But for now, consistency is the key. We wake up, get dressed, eat breakfast, make beds, say bye to Jack and Daddy, play outside on and off until lunch time, take naps, pick up Jack, play outside again until dinner time, bath, and bed. These boys LOVE to be outside! The occasional TV watching is thrown in there as well as puzzles, books, trains, and so on.

Some things of note, and really are of no importance, but we run out of food SO quickly! Everyone with boys is saying a big ol' fat I TOLD YOU SO right now, but seriously, they're only 3 and 4. And laundry. I just can't keep up! I know after they're really used to things, it will all get easier. But these boys have put anything and everything into an outlet, pulled every single string on every set of blinds, turned on every single light switch, touched every picture, stand in front of the oven just to see if it really is hot when I open it, ask for just one more bowl of Cheerios (just to make sure we actually have more), and still ask for coffee at least twice every day. The list could go on and on. And even though we missed their first steps, first words, and first tooth, we still have so many "firsts" with them. And it's amazing.

We were also hit with all these tornados last Wednesday, so we're waiting on insurance while we make sure our house is waterproof and pray the rain stays away until our roof and ceilings are repaired. The next day, someone backed into me at the grocery store. As Jon said one time, "LIfe happened today."

We had some new family pictures taken by a friend of ours, Jon Matthews. Check out his website here. I'll post a few of my favorites. :)

That's all for now. Back to life. :)

Beautiful! I was so excited to see the boys at church Sunday and loved watching their faces as they watched Jack sing. Sounds like you guys are having bunches of fun!

Praying for you Angie! Even though new changes are exciting and adventurous.. sometimes they're just plain hard! God is so faithful to guide us and lead us while He's stretching us! May God just hold you in the hard times and give you patience when it seems like there's none left. You can do anything through Him!

It's neat to see your sense of humor in all of this and the grace God has given you to handle everything! You're such an amazing Mom and all of your boys are so blessed to call you Mommy!
