Callie


I just love this little girl. The past two days I've had a lot of one on two time with her and Sidney and it's been nice. She is growing so much and time just seems to be flying. She is really starting to mature and some of the problems we've had with her are starting to be better. She is so sweet and so spunky! I love her spirit and I just know God is going to use her for big wonderful things! I love the words she uses right now. She will say "How Tute" for cute, she calls Hannah "Baby Tanna" and one of my fav's is this video. She has always called Hippo's "Purplepie" lol I love it. She can hippopotamus  but still calls them this. Oh how I just want to video tape their entire lives and push the pause button!!

Finding Joy....

I was talking with a dear friend recently about how easy it is to be overcome with the little stresses of everyday life. The little things the things that are there everyday (or almost everyday) On Sunday Kyle, me and the kids were driving to our small group. I said out loud that I would not let the stress of our house being a mess steal my joy that evening. Then I had to really analyze how often I let the stresses of everyday life steal my joy... the answer was A LOT. How clean my home is, how good the kids are acting, how organized life feels at the time, they all dictate in some way how I react during the day, most times the most with my husband. That is sad. (although very true)  So this week I am resolving to find the joy that God has granted me in my life. The joy He  means for me to have even though I allow circumstances to take that away everyday. I'm tired of having to apologize to Kyle for being a brat because "insert stressful circumstance here".  Here goes nothing! It's going to be hard but I refuse to let this season of my life go by and then be sad and regret not enjoying the sweetness that I know for a fact I will miss one day!

Fall.

I'm so excited that Fall is in full swing around here! I just LOVE it. Today was a beautiful upper 60's and sunny day so we took full advantage. After school we headed outside to soak it up until nap time. It was nice and I took the chance to snap some pics of the kids since I haven't been so great with the camera these days. So here is a unloading of pictures!

Sweet Hannah. These were actually taken probably 2 or 3 weeks ago but they were on my memory card and I forgot about them so I wanted to add them.
