Over the past week two old friends have had new baby boys. I have been following each of them on Facebook and reminiscing on that sweet time right after our own babies were born. And it started to make me a little sad because that period of time is over for us. However, as God would have it that feeling didn't last long. Rather than staying in that state of mind, my focus shifted immediately to the present and all the amazing things that are going on for us right now.
-Our sweet girl is about to turn 2 in just a few weeks. We are planning a small family party and trip to Build A Bear to celebrate. She is healthy and happy.
-Emory is prepping for Kindergarten this Fall. He is doing great in summer camp. He is a healthy, happy, boy.
-Nick completed his first year of his apprenticeship program with a ...wait for for...97% for the year!! The big boss sent his congratulations via text this week. It was also performance review time and that came a unexpected to pay raise. WHOOP!
-We have become increasingly intentional about our marriage and not letting things fester. We are both stepping up to meet the needs of one another and have stopped letting minor set backs brings us WAY back.
- As for me, I am learning to take care of myself a little better as life has settled down and my family hsa gotten into a rhythm. And that feels pretty great.
-And last but certainly but certainly not least we are going to the beach in 2 weeks! I cannot wait because life is just better at the beach. :o)
All in all life is pretty awesome. It a challenge for me not to play the comparison game or let my mind wonder to the place of thinking it would be better "if only."
