Christmas
JOY.
In the moments of chaos.
In the moments of sadness.
In the moments of confusion.
In the moments of uncertainty.
In the moments of pain.
In the moments of fear.
In the moments of peace.
In the moments of happiness.
In the moments of love.
In the moments of life that so easily slip away. I am learning this
year to choose joy in all moments. That is after all why the baby Jesus
came. The meaning of the message. He came to bring JOY; to be our JOY.
Merry Christmas!

Color Run 2012
I signed up for the Color Run during the summer....while I was still pregnant and in the stage where I was feeling well and still exercising three times a week......didn't think it through well....but this morning I dragged my butt out of bed at 5:30, got ready and packed up my newborn to drive to St. Pete for the run!
Crazy idea! I just delivered a baby last month, don't get a lot of sleep, and haven't lost enough baby weight yet for such adventures....but alas, I did it. The Color Run has been conquered, not that it was a real "runners" event, more just a fun experience. But I did run for a few parts!
Now please excuse me while I go crawl into a hole and cry as my legs burn and my muscles revolt in protest!

Sad day....
Some days are heavy....when evil in the world trumps the good in your little world.
Like leaving Bible Study and griping to a friend about crabby cashiers at the craft store just to learn that an evil man went into his mother's kindergarten class to murder her and all the innocent children in her room!
I will hold my babies tighter today. Be grateful for the screaming baby, mischievous toddler and pushy preschooler because today they are safe in my arms....and there are mommies who can no longer say that :/
Lord help us! We need more Jesus.

One month with our newest man!!! It goes too fast :/
Lincoln checked in at 12.2 pounds and 24 inches. (That was a 2 lb and 2 in gain in 2 weeks!)
Off the charts for weight and height and 69% for head.

Busy Days...Sleepless nights
As you can tell from my recent blog silence the last few weeks with a preschooler, a toddler and a newborn have been a little crazy. But in the midst of the crazy, I find myself sneaking silent moments when I am utterly amazed at the blessings around me!
So our days have been filled with.....
Birthday Party at CEC....
First Sunday at church and with Mia.....
Soccer Season Completion. Go RED DRAGONS!!!!
Fresh babies in Turkey Clothing....
Thanksgiving Pageant at preschool.....
Black Friday Shopping initiation :) (He was a great shopper!)
Enjoying Daddy's birthday ice cream cake....
Lots and lots of laundry!!!! Good thing I have a helper :)
Not really potty training...more like potty escaping...the monster likes to play in toilets! Gross....we use a lot of bleach :(
CFA Snacks with friends after school!
Brothers snuggling in bed :) (This makes me heart soooooooo happy!)
Visiting Santa (I CAN NOT believe that Liam WANTED to do this!!!!)
Starbucks date with mama.....hot chocolate folks...not coffee. But the boys felt super special drinking it!
Way too much fun eating a snack in the box with all the 31 Purse goodies.....
Waiting for cookies to come out of the oven......amazing what entertains them!
Wasting money at the mall on junk rides with Nena....that makes for a lot of giggles!
Sleeping in the swing.....whatever works right.....we will eventually move into a crib....I HOPE!
