A little Perspective can do wonders!

I have been alittle frustrated with my 2 year old. Nothing bad, just normal(drive mama crazy) 2 year old stuff. My family went out for dinner tonight and as I was sitting there there was a family with a boy in a wheelchair. His mama was so sweet and good to him, talking to him the whole time and he would respond by grunting or hollering (but you could tell he was happy and talking to his mama!!) :) As I was eavesdropping on their moment, Pete leaned over to me, grabbing my arm, said love you momma! WOW, what a much needed smack! Here I have been frustated on what he has been doing instead of thankful that he can do it!! In a nice way God reminded me of my special children and that it is my job to train and guide them with those abilities! So God, thank you for my children - for their curiosity, for their special desire to "fix" things, and for their desire and abilities to want to do it themselves!!

The Beach

Just a month ago, we found out that we were going back to the beach this year!! YEAH! 12 people (and Maggie) in a 3 bedroom condo sounds bad, right? WRONG! It was so much fun to have the whole family together! I hope to get some pictures up of the kids playing and swimming, but for now- here is one of all the cousins. I just wish I had gotten one of pumkin-head gumming it! HA!

Lauren's Wedding

Our crazy month of June started with my sister's wedding. It was beautiful with details that matched Lauren and Charlie perfectly! Here we are going into the reception...
(Thanks to Erika and her mom for the picture of Daddy and Lauren!!)

Here We Go...(again)

As I was reading both some of my family members posts and an online journal yesterday, I became inspired to start this up again; so...

My goal is to include both pictures and a journal to keep friends and family updated. Hey-I can try right?!

Here is a snippet into our life...
