JULY!

This month I will be celebrating the 3rd anniversary of my 29th birthday. I am okay with this. If I had to say if it was good, bad or ugly, I would would honesty answer as good. Without the bad I would have nothing to compare it to and without the ugly, I would have missed out on all the glorious things that God has brought me through. He has and continues to bring me through and provide me with blessing after blessing.
Maybe one day I will find time to write it down so that my kids could read it as adults as see how Great God is and how wonderful He makes life. Maybe I'll right it for myself. Maybe.
I struggle with finding time for myself and when I do I feel guilty. I think of all the thing I could & should be doing. I hope to find that balance soon.
The kiddos:
T is good and is all boy. He looks like a boy and reminds me daily that he is not a baby any more. At church camp he wanted to play catch with Kevin, but he would not let him. So I told T to tell him that he throws like a girl. T turns to me mortified, "you can't throw girls mama, you'll get in trouble."
E is a handful. She'll be a dancer one day. I have no doubt that she'll be a star. She loves putting on show with singing & dancing. She even stops to clap and laugh at herself.
H is great. Still the best baby I ever had. She likes being a baby. She is such a chunk. Her legs are so big I can't get my fingers to touch. He little arms have rolls that have rolls. Her checks are so squeezable.
I love being a mom and wife. It's the best job I ever signed up for. It is also the hardest. But I love it.
Kevin is okay. It is summer and he is hanging in there. Not much to report, which is a blessing.
Keith is still on the hunt for the J O B, but I know that God is in control and has the perfect job for him. He has had an offer, but nothing official.
We are going on a family camping trip tomorrow. This is all the kids first family camp. My mom and sister are going to join us too. I hope it is good and we can do it more often. We are also going to plan a Yosemite trip in the fall to. I am glad to see my family more often. I like spending time with them. It is also great for the kids. Even if it is only weekends.
I think that I might be over the overwhelmed post-partum feelings. I have stopped taking the 'Happy' pills. I think that we are going to pray about another baby. Maybe not now, but in the future. So we are working on getting healthy. We're taking baby steps toward a life style change and so far so good. It will take time as all good things do.
Take care.
