What Happened to Spring?????

A week ago, we were enjoying the sun and playing outside ALL DAY! Shorts, dresses, LOVE!!!

Fast forward and we are suffering from cabin fever again!!! We've been stuck inside for about a week now! It's freezing again! Now it's pants, sweatshirts, slippers.....gotta keep warm!!! Not to mention the heater being ran a BUNCH!! I was so excited to have it warming up so we could get back to a nice cheap electric bill. Well, Mother Nature had a better idea!!!

This is NOT COOL! We want the sunshine back, like NOW!! Thank you......AND SCENE!

Matteas Prayer

"Dear God. Thank you for this awesome day and night. Thank you for my house that plays music and makes noise. Thank you for my bible verses and new songs. Amen.....Oh yea, and thank you for Sis and Jesus. Amen"

Have I mentioned how much I love this girl?

Triple Tuesday

Okay, so, here it is. I know I skipped a couple weeks......I'm not the best at keeping up! But, here we go!!!!

1. I am so saddened by the events in Japan. My heart hurts for all those affected. I wish that I had the means to drop everything and go help with relief efforts. But, I've been doing what I know I can from here. I have been keeping them in my thoughts and prayers daily. I have also been counting my blessings to have my family next to me, safe and sound. These events have reminded me what is important in life, and what isn't. I am so fortunate to have such amazing friends and family in my life!

2. I am SO going back and forth on wanting another baby or not!!! One day, I feel ready, and longing for a little man (hopefully) to cuddle and squeeze! The next day, I am completely unsure. I think, things are okay the way they are. But, I know, that we are never truly READY for baby, whether it be your first or third! So, we have decided to let God decide if we will be blessed with another little angel. He is the only one who really knows what is best for us! So, maybe we will, maybe we won't. I will be happy either way. I have two beautiful angels in my life!!! It would be a bonus if we were to have another!!

3. I can't wait to go to sleep and wake up tomorrow! Suppose to be in the 70s the next three days!!! Yay!!! Now, if mother nature could just decide which way she was going to swing. This back and forth is driving me nutso!!! Not to mention, my poor husband has been suffering a terrible case of allergies!! I feel so bad for him!! He is so congested!! Barely breathing, eyes watering, swelling.....it's not a pretty sight!!

There ya go!! I'm going with Amber and saying EVERYONE should do a Triple Tangent Tuesday!! It'll be fun!! You can be as random as you like!!!

Oh, these Girls!!

There are days I want to pull my hair out. I'm not joking here!!! Sometimes, this job of Motherhood can be exausting! Day and night, I am in charge of these little beings. The teething one year old, who can't seem to break that molar. Or, the defiant three year old who is testing her boundaries. I would like to say that I am Supermom.....but I'm only human! There are days that they get the best of me.

The good news is, there are by far more rewards for taking on this role. When Mattea climbs up on my lap, puts her arms around me tight, and tells me how much she loves me. Cecelia, with her little pigeon toed walk, is at my feet looking up at me with her big smile! When I hear them both playing in the playroom TOGETHER! Mattea, trying very hard to be patient with her little sister, knowing she doesn't quite understand it all yet.

These are the days I cling to. The days I look back on when we are having an "off" day. Reminding me that it's not always crying and dirty butts! It's unconditonal love FOR them and FROM them.

I can't wait to see them grow up together. To see them be best friends (and at times.....bicker like enemies! I have a sister, I know!) I want to see how they look out for eachother, laugh together, and drive Mommy crazy together. Of course I'm not pushing for them to grow up too fast. I learn more every day that we need to cherish their youthfullness.

I thank God every day for this challenging job called Motherhood. I really wouldn't have it any other way! He has blessed our family so incredibly. I know that because of Him and through Him, we are whole. I thank Him for letting me watch faith grow in a tiny little soul, just learning of His love.

These girls are my happiness, sadness, joy, and comfort. I love them with all my heart. I don't know who I would be without them.
