fullness

well.....BJ is now 30 years old, Sadie is close to being 4 and has started preschool, and Asher is more independent everyday and is communicating really well. Where does all the time go???

I have my good days and my bad days juggling all the housework, meal planning, calendar maintaining, working out, on staff with Act 1 choreographing for 'You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown', church activities, keeping up socially, and trying to be a good mama and wife- geez! Without the grace of God, I would be a total mess!

We just had all of our family in this weekend to celebrate BJ's birthday, and it is so wonderful being surrounded by our loving and supportive family. I love KC, but there are days when I miss being able to just hop in the car and go to a family dinner or catch a movie with the girls. But moments like this past weekend where we eat together, go to the pumpkin patch, play outside, and laugh together over silly stuff fills my heart.

Of course my hubby and kids make my heart full as well- Sadie is showing us how thoughtful she is by sharing toys with her brother and thinking of him when she grabs a snack for him too and not just herself (of course there are moments of yelling and shoving and grabbing, but hey we try to really praise and focus on the good stuff). Asher has the most expressive little face and social personality!! Tonight he wanted me to get on the floor with him and play tractor so he is looking at me and pointing to the floor going 'hit! hit! hit!'. BJ is so awesome at playing with the kids and trying to help me out around the house----I am SO blessed and thankful for this life God has given me:)
