A few pictured

So... My children have captured my heart and all I can do about it is take pictures of them. I promise to actually take time to post a real blogpost soon. Meanwhile, I hope these pictures let your heart lighten up a little.

It is well, it is well with my soul. Amen.

So many things have been weighing on my shoulders lately. I've been soul-searching, praying, and keeping the faith. I've just been wishing a big neon sign would appear to let me know what to do, what to go for, where to go, where to put roots down. You know, just the BIGGIES. And, then this morning I thought to myself, maybe the big neon sign that I want is ...there is no big neon sign. And, I just need to be still. And, wait.  Anyone who knows me, knows that when I know what I want, I go after it with all the strength and determination I have. Lately, I have to admit that things in my life that have previously held so much weight and required so much strength have fallen by the wayside.  I have recognized over the last week or so that the everyday stresses of life coupled with the search for a home (in every sense of the word home) have really drained a lot of my joy, my sunshine.  And, quite frankly, I'm fed up with myself.  Many of you know that we were extr...

What does it take to write?

As you can tell, it's been so long since I've posted. For some reason, it always takes something pretty big or eye-opening to get me still enough to write. The stars all lined up tonight and I decided to login and post again. Have any of you started email accounts for your children? I have about 3 journals upstairs, tattered and torn, exhausted from moving around from box to box. In them, I have letters to the kids. I was really good about writing to the twins when I was pregnant with them. I wrote about the things that scared me and the things I hoped for them. I wrote about how I felt, what I ate, and even ordinary things that being pregnant with them changed. I told them about how it felt to tie my shoes sideways and how I required pretzel nests of pillows in order to sleep. I even kept up with writing to each of them for awhile after they were born.

Another wonderful day...

Tomorrow night I'll be starting a 3 night stretch at UNC so that means sleeping all day and missing out on spending time with my boys. So, today I was able to sleep in, and get some laundry done. One of my best friends Macy came by and brought a bouquet of flowers over for me..."just because"...how sweet. We stretched out and had some girl time and it was wonderful. Parker Jay and I took a stroll around the neighborhood in the sit and stand stroller. I must admit, I probably looked super silly with only 1 child in a 2 seater stroller. But, I mean...I had to test the new wheels :) And, Parker loved it. He gladly pointed out every truck on the block like he's never seen one before and said "mama!!!! mama!!!! Trrruck." Just as an aside, I shaved my legs this morning. (Pat on back...you'll never know how long it took) and it was pretty sticky outside...needless to say, after about 10 minutes, my legs were itching like something out of this world! Much to Pa...
