What A Day


Oh where to start. It was a long day of continuing to pack and trying to figure out where to put what and how to get the boys moved without completely throwing their life into complete chaos. I mean look at our living room. It's so hard for me to wrap my head around the fact that next week at this time we will be living in a new house and making new memories. I know its a good change, I just dislike change...I am almost like a child that needs time to adjust to anything new. We are most certianly in for a long weekend of last minute confusion and craziness to get us moved in by Tuesday. That being said, the movers are coming Monday, so we really don't have much of a choice...
----------------------------------------------------
So it was cold this morning. I say cold as a COMPLETE Florida girl. 40's is by no means cold to half our country but for us crackers 40's are cold. I knew that it would cool off as the night turned to morning so last night I put socks on the boys. Mason of course pulled his off the moment I put them on but Austin, well... I will just leave you with a picture of what my little guy did with his socks. Apparently, wearing your socks like this is all the rage right now with the toddlers...

---------------------------------------------------
Ok, many of you know what an organizing, neat freak that I am. In an attempt to be able to get things packed, I have sort of let the boys go to town on the playroom. I mean it LITERALLY looks like a hurricane tore through it. Mason also decided that my organizing bins are perfect for lounging and practicing his flash cards. It truly is monkey see, monkey do in this house and since Mason decided to sit in the puzzle bin. Austin had to as well. What I tried to capture in the photos is the fact that Austin had previously taken his diaper off and PEED, yes PEED in the bin full of flash cards and puzzles. I guess that's a start. Maybe my son will be being potty trained in a puzzle bin instead of his Diego potty. Dave says the puzzle bin is good target practice. Leave it to a man to completely GET why Austin peed in the puzzle bin.


-------------------------------------------------
And then there's the markers. I mean really, reading this blog alone, should leave you exhausted, imagine enduring it firsthand. It was a day of nonstop cleaning up one mess after another. All I can say is 7:00 p.m. was a sweet, sweet time tonight. I look forward to being settled in our new house and getting BACK ON OUR STRICT SCHEDULE.


Hugs,
Jenn

Happy One Month Birthday Baby Boy

Today our son turns one month old!  There were days when I was still pregnant with him that we were not sure he would be alive to see this day. God, has blessed us. He is here. He is perfect. He is fighting the biggest fight of his life.  Just as sure as the H (home) word was mentioned to us as a possibility in a couple of weeks yesterday, I in turn, got the phone call at 2 a.m. this morning that his heart is struggling.  His heart is working so hard to keep going. It is a delicate balance. One day everything looks picture perfect and hours later it all changes.  I am working on not looking to far down the road, one day at a time, one hour at a time, one prayer at a time. Today our son turns one month old and the alternative makes me realize that I/we can do this. Even though there will be many tears through out this, many angry days, sad ones and joyful ones. I do believe that God has a plan for us and for our son and as we wait to learn what that plan is, I am finding a patience I ha...

I honestly didn’t realize until today why I have been the weepy mess that I have been these last few weeks. I thought I was tired.  I thought well you have five kids and lots to remember. I am prone to anxiety. I worry to much which is definitely nothing new.  I attributed the constant crying to all things other than the obvious, which after ten years one would think I would have down by now.   It’s February.   It is heart month and I don’t mean cupid.  It is real heart month.   The hearts who are sick, broken, healing, or in heaven… We honor, celebrate, recognize and weep over all things Congenital Heart Defects.  I used to be able to post a lot more about it.  I used to write a lot more about it, but I have found as time goes on that well… I don’t have a ton of time for it, but also I think I’ve been avoiding it as well… because after 10 years… words don't come to me like they used to…there is just no time line and I haven’t...
