Things I don't want to forget
The sound of my babies laughing together when I'm not even in the room with them.
Wyatt learning to pull his pants up by himself and being proud as a peacock about it
Wade jumping off the side of the pool at the Suit's at 8 months old!
Wyatt floating on his back, swimming, go under without holding his nose
How hot it is here in Indiana this summer- feels like a Tennessee summer without all the lush green scenery though
Wyatt is developing a little corny sense of humor that I LOVE!
They are so sweet to one another! I can only pray that they will be side by side forever!

Loss of childhood friend and neighbor
Death’s pain on those left behind is as physical as any we know.
Reared to know that time heals all
we sit and suffer together for now.
For now…. Just for now let us focus on our next breath.
With love, sympathy and tremendous sorrow

Bath time laughs!
http://youtu.be/HmXaIaDy3hE
Out of the blue your kids do something that cracks you up! Wade is generally quiet, pensive and sweet but every once in a while he let's loose a bit and laughs like a big guy.
Wyatt really likes making all of us laugh and smile and God bless him for it!

Do you remember what this was like?
Do you remember what this might feel like?
I remember that I once knew what this felt like but as for the feeling it's missing.

Super Sunday
Fantastic Day yesterday!
Slept in slightly 7a!
Church at Farmland Friends.
then the weather was great so some play time outside. Wyatt and I spent a few hours romping and picking up sticks. ( also stepping in dog poop UCK)
Then a lil family dinner a Cracker barrel. We tried to eat healthy ( our choices were good but they duped us on the food prep. Didn't ask the right questions =(. Lesson learned I guess.
Tonight is the Final game with Butler and UConn. Although I don't teach at Butler I do teach and 8am lecture tomorrow morning. I'm not sure I'll have a good turn out tomorrow =(.

Friday's are for FUN
What am I thinking today?
My boys really rock!
I really am going to finish this dissertation!
I don’t like being hungry- eating little bits all day long really is the way God intended.
I love working out for reasons that I can’t even explain
Although I adjust to change well I’m AFRAID of it
The theme to Elmo’s World is ridiculously catchy!

Good Ole Hump Day
sometime I get so involved reading other blogs that I run out of TIME to write in my own.
We are rolling along this week. MiMi started back to work this week so the normal added convenience of having a willing and available kid chaser is a thing of the past =(.
MiMi's sad. We're sad. It does stink.
This situation is also requiring that I be creative in order to continue working on my dissertation while spending as much time with the kiddos as possible.
I've decided to hire a mommy's helper to come a few times a week to give me a hand and more specifically to give me writing time.
An energetic student named Malia will be coming to meet Wyatt Friday afternoon!.
I'm excited to see how this goes!

Second attempt this week! woot
No No No.
No No No
It’s more effective if you say it in threes right? Wyatt walks around the house shaking his head and saying “ No No No”.
I think he is mimicking daddy! As I think of it though most of the big people in his life tend to say “no no no” OR the ever popular OH NO Buddy.
Wyatt is turning out words like a lil Mr. Webster these days. I believe he can say anything he wants to now when he’s willing =).
The rest of us? Glad you asked….
We have too many irons in the fire right now. So many that I’ve decided to pursue a mommy’s helper to be here with me a few hours a week so I can focus on writing all while not completely neglecting my babies. I am seeking an energetic student from BSU to come to our home and play, chase and entertain Wyatt. Before you judge me consider that I think it’s stinks some too. I would love nothing more than to be able to spend every moment engaged with my babies. The battle I’m fighting though is that I’ve started a doctoral degree program and DAMN IT I want to finish!
So it’s go time and I am making the choice to sacrifice a bit of my heartfelt desire to be all moms all the time in order to achieve this academic goal.
Eric??? So happy for him. He’ll be finishing his degree Dec 2011! He is applying to jobs across the country. (Several right here in Indiana). Although it is hard for me not ot be type A about his job search and the potential “move” it might imply I am trying my best to leave this one to a higher power. ( not like I have another choice really ? Right?)
For now I will say his success in this Endeavour could be bitter sweet.
Wade! 4 months old on 3-26! He’s just beginning to want to stand while being supported. Very strong lil roller and scooter though! Also doing really well at not wanting to EAT all night long. I’m not sure if he’s an easy baby or if we just know what we’re doing this time around. ( a little more anyway).
No No No

Wade is wonderful!
Let the Picture Parade begin!. I am going to work on my blogging skills thanks to a reminder from a long distance pal!
Here is Wade and all of his fabulous lil parts!
Start of Spring
Where are we?
Good question
We are in grand chaos!
Wyatt turned 2 this past Sunday. Such a fantastic time to reflect on the changes we’ve experienced over the last 2 years. Also a time to be overwhelmed when I think about what is to come.
Wade turns 4 months this week. The development of an infant is nothing short of amazing. I really want to capture and savor every new discovery with both my lil guys!
It seems overnight Wyatt learned all of the words for his body parts ( eye, nose, ears, toes, belly, etc) and we also discovered that he HATES the song “ Happy Birthday”. He will way-lay you as you try to sing it!
Eric is approaching the light at the end of the tunnel at BSU. After several semesters of “trudging” and TRUDGING through the academic hoopla he is approaching the end. Although he has come across some really enlightening professors and instructors the folks he’s had to choose for mentors within his department have been a little less than exciting ( or helpful). So he and I ( the power team of Brains and Bronze) have fully engaged in the job search. What an exhausting task it is!
So far so good. He has a tremendous amount of experience and completing only strengthen his vita!
So we’ll see what unfolds next!
