Checking in so I don't forget!

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!

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!
