I just can't seem to get enough of my little treasures lately... I probably should have been packing but instead I have found myself playing in the yard, laughing, reading books on end, and taking all the pillows off the couch and turning them into a boat in the living room where we have been eating snacks all day everyday...
It has been gorgeous outside...
Reesie is trying desperately to crawl every where... She pushed this ball all over the yard...
I'm lovin this girl more and more each day...
The girls rode their bikes... Hal is getting so good at peddling all by herself...
Ressie still just kinda sits there...
Like their headbands?
Reesie is starting to drink out of a"cup"... I've been giving her water in it throughout the day...
And she's eating table food too!!!!
It has been drop dead gorgeous in our city... So as I was doing some "packing" outside... but instead I filled up the pool and...
we spent the entire afternoon playing and flooding our front yard...
Don't you love these smiles??? They didn't want their picture taken so they do these really funny fake smiles... It makes me smile... :)
And this boy... well... he's been my little buddy lately... I think he has sensed my feelings about the move... He has been a bit on the weepy side and he has been clingy... He is old enough now to talk about what's going on... And he's so inquisitive... He asks me things like, "Can I bring my toys?" "How are we going to get there?" Where I going to sleep?" "I don't want to sleep on the top bunk, I'm scared of the top bunk. Do I have to sleep on the top bunk?"
He's aware that there's going to be a big change, and I feel like it's my responsibility to reassure him that it's going to be more than ok, the Lord is going to do awesome things with our family this next year. Now more than ever, I am aware of the fact that I, as the wife and the mother, set the tone for my family. The Lord is so gracious. And I think that ignoring packing this past week and soaking up this precious boy and his sisters is just what the doctor ordered!
But not to worry... today Aunt Mindy had Reesie all day and Granny and Gramps are having a sleepover tonight with the older kids... So Joey and I (and my precious friend Pam) got almost the entire house packed today! Praise God for family and friends! It makes life a lot more doable! And for that I am GRATEFUL!!!!
