Things 1 and 2


Here we have the loves of my life...arms loving wrapped around each other amid a pile of dipes fresh from the line.  LoL!  I have a feeling I should enjoy these moments while they last.  I am an only child, but I grew up around enough kids with siblings to know that things are not always as such!  For the time being, however, I will revel in the moments when my oldest son randomly wraps his arms around his brother...or when the little one stares at the bigger in admiration.  All too soon they will be chasing each other around and Luke will be whining about how Daniel is always in his way.  Kids.

And I'm seriously wanting them to go as Thing 1 and Thing 2 for Halloween this year. Too cute!

Playing Catch...Up.

YAY!  Hubs has Daniel and I have some free time!

Today's topic...PPD and how I hate it.

LoL!
I had it bad with Luke and would have this time too if Landon had not stepped in.  My anxiety was sooo bad around week 6 that I seriously considered meds.  I just couldnt take it any more!  I didnt even know what I was anxious about.  I felt all shaky inside and just...out of it.  LOTS of praying later, here I am happier and more on fire for the Lord than ever!  Come to find out it was just a nice case of exhaustion!  I tend to think I'm super mom.  Not so much.  One person can only do so much, and I'm learning to turn the rest of it over to God.  It's His job to worry, not mine!  My job is to love on and care for these babies He has given me!

We went to Wal-mart today and got Daniel and Bumbo.  So far he LOVES it...but has only been in it once.  He loves to be able to look at everything...and thinks he can walk.  Last night he was even rotating in little baby  circles where he was laying.  Not much longer!  He also laughed for the first time last night after his bath!  He was super splashy and Landon had video taped his bath...he JUST put it up when Daniel squealed and giggled a big ole belly laugh!  I almost cried!  It was such a beautiful sound!  Of course we HAD to grab the camera...but all we got were little giggles after that.  STILL!  It was great!

Tonight I am going to a friends house who is destashing her cloth diapers to make room for some new (she is pregnant again!).  I'm so excited!  Landon has pretty much turned me loose to get what ever I want.  When we found out we were pregnant she gave us a few when she learned we were using cloth so we KNOW she takes great care of her dipes and will cut us a deal.  She's my only friend near by who uses cloth so we get together when we can. 


Luke's first T-ball game was Sunday and he did AMAZING!  He actually hit 2 pitches (they pitch 3 balls and then grab the Tee if the kids need it), Fouled one, and fielded a ball to first base.  I was so proud, and he had a ton of fun!  It's great to see him getting out and doing stuff with other kids.  I love it!  He's been so great with Daniel too.  He's always happy to lay and talk to Daniel when he starts fussing if I'm not fast enough for him.  LoL!

We also got the garden in last night.  Punkins, cantaloup, watermelon, 2 rows of squash, 6 tomato plants, herbs, 2 rows of beets, and 7-8 rows of green beans.  I'm hoping to make the majority of Daniel's baby food from what we grow.  Save money and I KNOW what is in it!  What I dont grow I plan on just running what ever we are eating that meal through a food processor for him.  No need for jars in our house!  LoL!

Well, I think that catches us all up.  LoL!  Thanks for taking the time to read all that.

Dipes on the Line

FINALLY! Our clothes line is done! It has, obviously, been a crazy 3 months. I wish I could blog as much as I did when I was pregnant, but I rarely get on anymore. Daniel is doing great and growing like a weed. He is 12 weeks old and has gained 4 pounds. Luke is a wonderful big brother! Daniel loves him so much too!

We are currently working on putting in the garden, but the dipes on the line have by far been the best part of summer so far. Daniel loves being outside so he goes out with me and lays in the shade while I play with clothes. LoL! We also bought a family membership to the zoo so we can take the boys whenever now. SO excited for that too!

Please pray for Landon and I as we are in the process of taking over the youth group at our church. The church has a history of poor attendance to both services and the youth groups...I would like to get more area kids involved and hope to pull thier parents into church by their attendance. Tomorrow we are also dedicating Daniel, that's always something to pray about!

I hope you are all doing well!
