end of summer...

love my saturday mornings. me and a quiet house. both the boys sleeping together in our bed. aaaahhhhh..... a wonderful cup of starbucks vanilla coffee in hand and a few words to say. just read ash's blog so of course i'm crying. i don't think any of us girls would have said a year ago this is what would be. funny thing is we wouldn't trade it for one minute. even when we are up at 1 in the morning or just having a bad day with our little ones. we all can say God has blessed us!

mike's planning on working and i'm hoping i can get some things done around the house. i do have a fun project i'm going to try and complete for john's room. we'll see how it goes. paints involved so yikes. i think we are planning on getting together with some of the family tonight! i don't think any of us have been together lately. we've all be so sick the last three weeks. amber called yesterday and demanded some time. (more to see john then me) i have to tell you i have the cutest nephew ever. he gets so big so quickly.

i've been getting more organized lately. yes not like what it could be... that will never happen. i tend to get a little lazed and stressed when i'm not organized. i tend to just give up. just throw in the towel when things are so unorganized and not put away. not the best thing i could do. so lately i'm working on my house and myself. so that means cleaning more often, planning, and thinking. all which at times is so overwhelming. i've come to the realization that if i don't take the time nothing is going to happen. so here it goes. me trying to be more organized and prepared. give me grace cause its one thing at a time. the house will still be messy and some days i'll slip but Lord willing i'm praying that by the end of this summer i will feel alot better!

oh on a happy note. john now zips around the house on all fours and now has begun the process of pulling himself up. from the coffee table to window sill. oh not sure how he does this but we have this plastic box beside the fireplace which has a lid so he can't get into the wood and other goodies. well last night we look and somehow the kid managed to crawl on top of it and then proceed to reach for the fire. ug new challenges every day. he is also getting a bit more attitude these days. screams on occasion when he doesn't get something and gives that dirty look when you tell him no but overall he still has that smile that just melts my heart!!
