Howdy! I can't believe how much life has passed by. The days are long, the weeks short. And here we are, the first week of school...and the first time I haven't been going back to school since like 1985. I'm a little bit lost, perhaps experiencing an identity crisis.
We've spent the last two months growing rapidly. Self feeding, near crawling, potty training at night. We are learning new things each day, me included. Like, a new car doesn't mean no repairs. Don't leave anything within arm's reach of Bug. A busted brake line is not a quick fix when the part has been discontinued. It will never be easy to see my mom and my dad in the same room but not there together. Change in church leadership is extremely painful and comes with a lot of heartache. There is so much for me to learn.
I said awhile ago that I absolutely WOULD NOT turn into a yoga pants wearing, suburban driving mama. Just last week, we traded in the Honda and got a Yukon. Strike one. I dressed in good clothes to drop Little One at school on her first day. When I got home, Bug went down for her nap and I experienced the first taste of the freedom that school years will bring. Eager to knock things off my to-do list, I grabbed the scouring pad and started with the tub. 20 minutes and a little bit of elbow grease later, I passed a mirror and saw the bleach stain on my good shirt. Enter yoga pants and t-shirts. Strike 2. I eat my words, friends.

Been praying for your sweet family and your church family as well. Can we have coffee/play some morning? H goes to school M, Tu, Th. Love seeing your precious girls! Growing, growing, growing!
Glad to see you posting...embrace the yoga pants! The hubs will be happy b/c that uniform cuts down on the clothing budget. ha!
Sweet, sweet times.
NOOOOOO, no yoga pants and t-shirt wearing!!! Okay, some times it's okay - like cleaning days.
Such sweet pics. Loved seeing y'all! And love u!
I am totally the yoga pants wearing, suburban driving mama. I caved pretty early on too...at least in the yoga pant department. And now we're shopping suburbans. In the summer I wear Nike running shorts. I can't help myself.
I like what you said about not being able to excel at both home and work. So true.
Always enjoying your blog :)
Yoga pants can be pretty sexy... Just get a cute top or two to go with them and throw it on really quickly before the hubs comes home from work. :-) (Go for the spandex yoga pants. Much cuter. Old Navy has great ones.) haha
Enjoy your days. It's a fun journey!
Love you!
