All Love

This morning started out rocky. The kind of morning where you try and try and no matter what you do...It just isn't good enough. Two girls were hard to please this morning. I find that to be the hardest part of this whole stay at home thing. While I want to cater to their every need, I also acknowledge the need to teach them patience, independence and being fair.

Our day got better, then it got worse. Oh my. A very trying day. The good news...It ended GREAT! While Daddy headed to a meeting at church, we built circus tents, perfected the perfect airplane stance and watched a puppy play some serious soccer. Sweet smiles and no effort to please. They were just..happy. I know I try too hard sometimes. Making them happy is so simple, really. I am trying to get that. Luckily I have a wonderful husband that reminds me on a regular basis. He is my biggest support. Always there to tell me what a great job I am doing. Making things easier any time he can.

Happiness is when Daddy comes home..


A fun weekend awaits with our dear Ms. Tanya and part of her family. We are so excited!! And just around the corner is a long weekend with my family in Maryland. A new little girl that just joined our family will be the center of attention and we are so blessed to be a part of her Christening. Good Stuff!

Summer

I can't believe it has been over a month since our Florida vacation. It was so much fun to visit the magic of Disney and explore the Orlando area. I will say that I was also very happy to get home.

***********************

We have given Summer a warm welcome around here this past month. From a camping trip to water fun to strawberry patches. Warm sunshine and cool evening breezes. Yes, I am glad to be home... IMG_1032

I found that at first I wanted to "pack it all in" as the saying goes. Trying to fill our days with all the fun things that we didn't get to do during the week while I was working. I came to realize that just being with them is the only thing they need or want. A backyard to run in, a swing set to soar on and water play in any form we can get it. I am so glad I figured that out.

I hope that you are enjoying your summer and that no matter what is you are doing or where you are, it is a fun and full time.

Happy Weekend!
