Zoe Grace

Zoe Grace, what can I say about her? She is the funnest little thing with lots to say. I still cant figure her out & I think she knows it. The older she gets the more I see she is alot like me. Must be why we get on each others nerves. Lately I've been trying to put aside all the things she does that drive me crazy & see her good qualities. Listing a few & you are more than welcome to add:
- free spirited
- loves to sing
- helper
- caring
- funny
- independent
- trusting
- enthusiastic

I will top you off with a funny story. Tonight as I'm singing to her at bed time (our new fav thing to do) she says "Mom, what's that smell"? She then replies to her self "That's your breath, you need to go brush your teeth". LOL, I love my silly little goose!

Hello World

Hey everyone! Ok so I haven't blogged in a long time. Still not sure what I am doing but giving it a try. I will be posting when I have time, which is only when the kids are sleeping. We all know how crazy it is when they are all awake. Most of the blog will be about the kids but I might put my two cents worth in once in a while. Enjoy!

Another Baby

no i'm not pregnant again so dont freak out. i have been thinking about having another baby. is it the right timing - NO. do i really want another baby - i think so, maybe in a few years. in a few years will i want another one or will i be satisfied. i mean its perfect the way it is now, one boy & one girl. as they get older it's getting easier, they play together. in about 6 months i'll have two toddlers. zoe is such a baby as is, i dont know if putting another baby into the mix will help. oh i dont know, i just dont want another one right now. i saw a girl at the park yesterday, she had two girls one about 1 and a half, the other no older than 7 months and she was huge pregnant. i dont think i could do that Lord help her. well i'm going to have to do something so we dont get pregnant again, we learned that from zoe. anyway, i guess time will tell.

motherhood

10/20/2008

motherhood is one of the greatest gifts God could give women. some choose not to believe this and others embrace the challenge. some women are forced to not be mothers by other demands of life, as i once was at a time in my life. i know what it's like juggling work, kids, home & your marriage. sad to say for me it was about in that order, not the right order. you can only do it that way so long before things start to fall apart. there comes a time in your life when you have to decide what is most important. for us it was saving our marriage & our kids - family. going from a part time mom & having a full time job to just being a mom was a journey. i say part time mom because you cant be a full time mom and have a full time job at the same time - it's impossible. i was tired of other people taking care of my kids. i didn't adjust to full time mom very easy at first. after a month or so it just took. now it's a joy to take care of my kids. watching them grow and learn. there may be hard moments but it's nothing compared to the love and joy i have the rest of the day.
