I'm baaaaaaaacccckkkk!

LOL. No, I haven't abandoned my blog. We moved! We are now back in the Dakotas! South Dakota to be exact! I'm so happy to be back here.

Lots has happened in the past two months. My boys, lightening and thunder both had birthdays! I can't believe they are growing so fast. We are going to start homeschool this year! I'm so excited.

The story about the moving company is a whole post within itself. I may delve further into that at a later date. For now I need to get to bed. I have an early morning tomorow.

Goodnight for now. I'll be back tomorow to update you a bit better.

Great giveaway!!!

Such cute stuff!!! The giveaway is for some really cute personalized bean bags.

Keeping busy

I keep waiting for things to calm down around here, but they just aren't. It seems like we have one thing after another lately. I guess that's what happens as kids get older though. Lightening goes to preschool twice a week, I have a couple comitments a month, Rob's work stuff and then there's the daily tasks that require running around town. LOL. Such is life though.

I'm totaly loving it right now. The kids can get pretty crazy, but it's so fun. Sonshine is a climbing fool. Ever since he figured out how to crawl(around 7 months or so) he's been climbing things. I take him off the dining room table at least 5 times a day!! I don't know what I'm going to do with this kid. He's already trying to figure out how to get up to the top bunk. I think he's going to give me grey hair before I turn 30. LOL.

I also finished Rob's winter hat for next year. It's the first hat I've ever knit!! I'm so excited. I almost woke him up last night to try it on. LOL. I didn't. I was a good girl and waited until this morning, then I made him try it. He loves it!! I'm so happy. I have now started on Thunder's hat for next year.

Well, I better get back to knitting and stop blogging for now. Hope you all have a wonderful day!

Peace!

Wow!

My youngest recently turned ONE! Amazing!

I was thinking tonight at what I would've thought of myself 6 years ago, before a baby was even in my thoughts. I think if someone would've told me that I'd be nursing a 2.5 year old and a 12 month old, I would've laughed at them. I love that I'm doing it now though. I'm so blessed to be able to give both of them this wonderful gift.

I'm just rambeling anyway. Just thought I'd share.

Who cares?

All this news coverage about the octuplets, thier mom, the doctor. Come on. Who cares anymore. It was unethical of the doc to put that many embryos in at once, it was unmoral of the mother to even attempt another pregnancy given her current situation. Pretty simple.

I'm all for large families. I want to have one myself. However, if I were a single mom with NO job, I'd stop at what I have until I was in a better financial situation. I'm not saying one needs to have a surplus of money. I'm just saying that a job would help.

This leads me to another thought on this. I've heard so many people wonder how she gets enough one on one time with all of them. Plain and simple, she doesn't, according to "normal" standards anyway. That's not a bad thing though. We can all create one on one time with our children thoughout the day. We don't have to go somewhere special. (though that can be fun and isn't a bad thing) I can have a moment with my two year old when my other boys are playing in the same room. We can sit and read a book, or just snuggle for a moment. It's all in how you do it. Do you give them eye contact? Do you stop what YOU are doing and focus on them? I'd venture to say that there are many only children who don't get enough attention from their parents. Think about it.


Anyway, even though I don't agree with what this octomom(as she's being called) did, I still think she deserves our prayers. I especially believe that those babies deserve our prayers as they are here, on this earth, and deserve a fair shot.

Change

Change. Change is good. Change is life. We all need change sometimes. It's not the change that I really want to talk about though. It's others accepting our change. We are all on a path in this life. It's not for us to judge others for where they are at in their life. When we change for the better and someone still paints us with the same brush from before. It's defeating to feel this way. One thinks, why go on? Why not just stay the same? Well, I believe that even if nobody else sees it, God does. So it's totaly worth it.
