Eden Is Two

My little girl turned 2 yesterday. I can't believe it has gone so fast! Right now she absolutely loves to color. She is talking more and more, but we can't always understand her. She seems to have her own cute little language. Eden is the sunshine in our lives right now--so cute!

Playdate

Here is a picture of Joshua and I at a recent play date with the Spring Peas baby group we participate in (when we can!). There were some really cute babies there today. Babies are so fun! Joshua is now 1 week shy of 5 months old. He rolls both ways and is grabbing his feet. He babbles and smiles wonderfully. The past 3 nights he has slept 11 hours!!! Weird, but I'm not complaining.

Tonight we went to Jamie's 2nd JV football game. He got to play and was put in 4 times in the 4th quarter. He has been practicing hard and despite some ankle and knee discomfort, he is pushing forward. I am proud of all of the hard work he's been doing. We need to feed that kid so that he bulks up! Here he is in the middle...

This is me cleaning up after dinner. Celeste suggested a fish face. Just a little fun!

Monday

For Today:

Outside my window... A sticky, hot Florida day begins. Lots of sunshine. No hurricane.

I am thinking... I just want to get through today. The boys are very crazy this morning.

I am thankful for... the fact that we are all healthy. We have no viruses, etc., but please do pray for Celeste. Her hair is thinning from being on methotrexate, she is very tired, and she is having some swelling and pain in some joints in her left hand. Also, I am thankful for my home.

From the kitchen... As usual, I fly by the seat of my pants. I think we're having sandwiches tonight. I need to plan the rest of the week--in my spare time!

I am going... to pick up Celeste from college today, then off to the grocery, and I have a request to stop by the library. On Tuesday, I have a ladies' meeting with some new friends I met at baby group when I had Joshua. Also, Jamie has a football game on Thursday night.

I am wearing... still in pj's--tshirt and shorts. Need to get that shower! (At least we got Bible in.)

I am hoping... my husband can find a good job that will support our family until the real estate market comes back.

Around the house... the grass got butchered yesterday. Our lawnmower is broken, so we borrowed a riding one from Stu's parents. It didn't work well, either. So we have a half cut, crazy looking lawn. Kids are watching Sesame Street while they wait for me. They just unloaded the dishwasher. Laundry is piling up... I want to mop the kitchen this week. I need help because I'm so achy all the time.

A picture thought I am sharing...
