Something I crave a lot....

Does it have to be food? Cause the only thing that qualifies as food that I ever crave is Diet Dr. Pepper. And I think you all know about that.
But I do crave a really clean house.
Oh, I get a clean house every morning when I do my morning rounds, picking things up, making beds, doing laundry, vacumming, dishes (this all after i have gone to bed the night before with a clean house). And I even get a really clean house the one time a week when sheets are washed, bathrooms scrubbed, floors also scrubbed and everything dusted.
But I want my really clean house to last ALL day long and maybe into the next day also.
Ten minutes after I have cleaned the bathroom, a little three year old decides to use the toilet and it's all over after that.
the little three year old I'm talking about...

I am with you on the clean house thing. I usually scrub my house at night after the kids are in bed so it at least stays clean for 8 hours until they wake up in the morning!

I know how you feel. I swear my kids follow me around and recreate the same messes I JUST cleaned up.

Especially little boys at the potty. I think Brian pretends the bathroom's on fire.

Growing up

My babies are growing up and having their own babies.  That looks just like them.   I love that the adorable-ness is being passed on. Don't they just look so much alike? Seeing Weston reminds me of when Emily was a baby. Easy going, knows what he wants, smiles A LOT, and loves having fun!

Prayers

We have just received news that earlier today my sister Amy and her family have been in a car accident. Tim and the five kids are okay, although banged up, but Amy is in the ICU. They hit hail while driving and the car rolled 3 times and Amy was ejected from the car. All we know so far is that she has broken ribs and  punctured lungs. Please, please please pray for her and her family. Thank you.

"What is joy if it is not written and what is love if it is not shared..."

Where does one start after coming back from an absence of 3 months? Life is not the same now as it was back in April. For better and for worse. Now days, we are much more laid back. We sit around a lot, never getting in the car unless Trevor is driving; we watch Psych and Cake Boss and Good Luck Charlie all day long, interspersed with house work that takes twice as long as it used to. Back in May, Trevor and I went to the Bahamas and spent long days in the sun, holding hands and wandering the island. It was a full week of missing the kids but enjoying our time together. We came away more aware of how much we love being home as a family and while trips away are good, we'd rather be home together. Of course, starting Monday of each week, we start looking forward to Friday night when we get a precious 4 hours out together with no kids... This past year, at least since Joshua started first grade, has been the toughest year of my life and I don't say that lightly. I've strugg...
