I LOVE MONDAY MORNINGS!

NOt a phrase that is heard often from humans. We have fallen into a sweet morning routine (for the most part). jeff's alarm goes off around 6:00am, he moseys out of bed and into the shower that wakes up andrew bc the pipes are in his closet, andrew comes into bed with me (a habit i swore i would never get into, but actually enjoy) he lays with me so nicely until we decide to read. he has a special bag of books that he looks at while i get to spend some time in the Word, then the noise begins when julia decides to awake. our peaceful bedtime turns....not peaceful. she is getting better-definitely demands that justice according to her is served. I'm reading through Power of a PRaying Parent. It's super-beneficial (would like to write more about that someday). Daddy comes in and kisses us all goodbye. then we either jump right into breakfast or hang a bit or the kids get to watch their show. i'm super into this money saving blog (more on that hopefully later too) so i try to check in on that and hopefully will be making time for blogging during my 28 minutes of a TV break. finally we head upstairs and get changed and ready for the day---which is usually already filled with plans! the morning is a toss up btw bliss and madness!

Yes, Trying Again

So I used to be psycho blog stalker...spending too much time reading others' blogs wishing i logged my family's happenings so well--instead of just doing it! well, extra time has been even more sparce around here since we've decided to move in feb. and i just checked in on others' blogs for the first time since before then and am iching to record my blessed life. Last post i see was in nov. not going to overwhelm myself with trying to catch up...just hope to pick up with today and see how it goes.
