Here's some of the latest....
This dude turned 7!! Isn't he's just so handsome?! He is growing up to be such a good boy. He really has a sweet spirit and I am so thankful he is in our family. I sometimes think of what life would be like with out my last 3 kids and I can't imagine life without them (okay maybe sometimes I can but it usually doesn't last long). This dude loves sports and I can't wait to watch him play baseball this spring.
We had a great Christmas. P surprised me with a new bike. I can't wait for it to warm up so I can use it (I think). I have been left behind for way too many years because I didn't have one so it will be good to be able to go and ride with the fam. I think the kids favorite part of Christmas was the Nerf gun fight. It just may become a tradition around here.
January is OVER wahoo! In January I become a widow to the Detroit Auto Show and it is such a long boring month. I have jokingly told P that he might want to tell his boss he won't have a wife to come home to if he has to do another one. He didn't think I was very funny.
This baby boy is now a two year old! Sometimes I miss this sweet baby of mine. He is still super cute but he is into EVERYTHING! He has colored on more walls than all of the other kids put together! He has become some what of a mamas boy especially at bed time. He still loves to snuggle and fall asleep next to me. Which I love, it is one of the only times he will stop long enough to be loved on.
(sorry his 2nd birthday pics are still on the camera so I don't have them to post tonight)
Pity Party of one.... I have had a bad attitude for a long time about a lot of things. I don't mean to be this way but it happens embarrassingly more so than not. For a long time I have felt like I am sort of left behind. P gets to do so many things. He is living one of his dreams. He is not here knee deep in mud (yes that is how I feel every night between 3 and 9pm & that is putting it the nice way) and it is so Hard not having him home to share the responsibilities. I feel like I am spread paper thin and I feel guilty most of the time because I can't give everyone including him the attention they need but at the end of the day or years which ever way you want to look at it it turns out I am the lucky one. As I was scrolling through our pictures tonight I thought if I was off saving the world there is so much I would have missed and miss out on. I remember when I worked away from home and all I wanted was to be home. I really am so blessed to be able to stay home with these guys and I need to do a better job of embracing what I do. Time is already flying by & they will all be flying out of the nest before I know it. (phew LOL) I just need a major attitude adjustment (daily).
I really want to go back to this place ....
Right now I am sitting in my room listening to the rain pour onto my house. Cozy but definitely not Hawaii!
