sunday smiles



Connor blessed me with the FABULOUS smiles on the way to church yesterday. What is it about kids that makes you want to become a cannibal. Seriously he is just so cute I could EAT him up!

2 year old pictures

Yes Micah was two in February but give us a break! We took him to the Corner Market in Conyers to get his two year pictures. Our only mistake was taking them at the fountain first because there were not many pictures taken after that!! Zach realized it's harder taking pictures of your own child. They don't quite sit as still when they're yours. Nevertheless, we got some great pictures of his adorable self. Our intention was to try a picture of the four of us but still hasn't happened. Oh well, we'll keep pluggin' away!












I just LOVE how blue his eyes look with that shirt. Such a stud!

The stool

Meet Micah's new best friend :)

He's always there when he needs him and helps him get things accomplished!!



Seriously Micah has been carting this stool EVERYWHERE! He uses it to sit, stand, spy and get into things he doesn't need to be into. But, it is oh so cute listening to Micah say, "wait, i gotta get my tool."

adjustments

It has been two months since my second precious baby boy came into our lives (in a more physical presence) and things have been a little crazy.

In the past 8 1/2 weeks Connor was born, Micah has become a big brother, Zach started a new job, we have driven to Enterprise twice, Gainesville once, had family up here, and have shown our house twice and I have had to do something I HATE to do...ADJUST to CHANGE!

I love to do lists, schedules, routines, cleanliness, normalcy, home...basically all the things that have not been happening the last two months of my life. Having two boys is amazing. I LOVE them. It's crazy how your heart actually doubles so that both can fit perfectly :) However, all the things that come with raising two boys has jumbled my head so much that I feel upside down and sideways a lot of the time. I literally mean upside down. I'm actually having dreams that I am UPSIDE DOWN! When you add this to the job change, the new car we need to be searching for, and the want/need for more space that has resulted in the dreaded real estate wait so many are dealing with, it gets a little hairy (jan's word)!

It probably doesn't help either that I have been able to sit and listen to all of 1 church service the last two months and my prayer life has dwindled down to nursing times only when I'm half asleep. So far I haven't gone insane yet :) So far I'm dealing, stressing some times and enjoying most times, but still dealing. I'm praying in another month or two I can say the same thing no matter what circumstances have changed, but oh how I want some of them to change*!!

*I just realized in saying that that there is a good chance the ones I don't want to change will and the ones I want to change won't. Why does God do that!??!?!?!?!?!?!

working hard

Life has been so busy the past two months that we've asked Micah to start pitching in.




Micah can help Zach with his work on his brand new laptop!





And help me take care of changing the baby :)

batteries not included

It's a sad day for Sarah :( We can't find the battery charger for my brand new point and shoot camera! There are some SUPER cute pics of Micah and Connor I was going to post but it's kinda hard to download pics with no power!

I'm in Enterprise with the boys for the next 5 days (unless baby moon decides to appear!) and since Zach couldn't come AND doesn't part with 'our' camera easily I will be pictureless for the 4th. I'm hoping to snag my mom's or sis-in-laws to atleast get a cute picture of me and my boys in our red white and blue!
