Its been a good year or more since I have put fingers to keyboard. Most days it feels like yesterday. I still remember my last blog. I sat at the breakfast table, sipping decaff coffee, watching Elizabeth eat her own breakfast. My round belly keeping me from sitting close to the table. The heat from the sunny window. An anxiously heart awaiting the arrival of another child. My how time has flown.
In the last year we have brought a baby home and made growing pains from a family of 3 to a family of 4. I have watched Elizabeth blossom into a self sufficient child.( For the most part she bathed her entire body with minimal help from me tonight- minus her hair!) I have nursed and nourished my youngest, watching her grow into a sweet toddler. We are vastly approaching their birthdays of 4 and 1.
I find myself in a constant state of "mom'n it." We shuffle from therapies on Monday and Tuesday's, along with dance on Tuesday night. We have PreK Wednesday-Friday and spent Wednesday night with Elizabeth learning beautiful worship songs in Choir and learning how to play a mean air guitar from Demi.LilyAnna refuses nursery so she hangs out with mommy in her Ladies Group.
Life has been one crazy adventure after another over the last year but I couldn't be in a better place. I am learning that " I can get by with a little help from my friends." I am learning the value of real, open, honest, and raw friendships. I am blessed to be in a season of life where I am enfolded and loved by so many generations of woman, from seasoned moms to friends freshly out of college. I am learning that it's not all about the ages and stages.
Jacob and I are learning the value of making time in Gods house a priority and his blessing are richly unfolding before us. We are finding our place in a wonderful community of loving Christians. Our children are finding their place. (Which if I am being honest is the hardest part for me. Letting Elizabeth out of my comfort zone, into classes of her own, with her typical peers, and not being their to protect and explain her behavior to a child before she is reject is probably the hardest part of my letting go.) We are blessed to be part of such a loving church family that we're all finding our way.
This last year has been an interesting season of life. I have expanded my heart in ways I didn't know possible. I have stretched myself and my time, which seemed impossible, between two sweet babies. I am learning to meet the demands of mother of two and wifey of one. So with that statement I am signing off to work on my wifey skills and spend a few moments with the husband before he falls asleep waiting for me to get off this thing!
Good Night Folks!
PS: I am going to try to pick my blogging back up for those of you who seemed to enjoy it! So please stay tuned!
