In case you wondered....or I want to look back and see what a Sunday was like....

Getting four kids and self out of door and to church by 8:30
Hearing an AMAZING sermon as usual
Watching Bo drop his bread in the communion cup
Hugging on McRae after the nursery workers called that he was crying
and having him lay on my chest with deep sniffles....I will never forget it
red eyed, passy in mouth all spralled out latching on for dear life
I love a little baby so so much
He kept looking up like
Is it really you up there?
Off to a soccer game and watching Bo play and getting Baylen snacks and taking him potty
Off to a hike in the woods with your boy scout
Home to feed McRae a bottle
Off to teach a class...Samantha to church and Bo to Hip Hop
Back to get McRae and Baylen
To go get Samantha and Bo
Dinner
Bath
a few tears
a few laughs
lots of love
lots of books
prayers
and blessings
Rocking Mcrae to sleep with his bottle
Coming back to the den to find Baylen passed out and daddy too
and Piper
Getting an hours worth of stuff down watching Sunday night football.....
and as Samantha says, life never ends
We will start it all again tomorrow
and I am glad life never ends!
Even though we ate that forbidden fruit
and life really stinks sometimes
and its hard
sad
and busy
In the big picture
God has my back
and he loves us
and I am trying so hard to soak it all up
the good the bad and the busy!

stop it McRae
Just stop growing

As pillows were flying and kids were jumping from couch to couch

As the crazyiness filled the house

and there was a kid in each room

I can not get enough days like this....

 I am so blessed
A tiger cub that loves being a tiger cub
A little girl that just went on her first ever youth retreat
A little boy that is so smart he blows my mind
and he knows it
And a cute little baby that melts my heart......

Watch out for Baylens mean face

what we saw when I looked down at Bo's feet on Friday

Please Please let me NEVER forget

How sweet Samantha is and how she is still a kid at heart

How she wants to do good all the time

and even when she does wrong it was not on purpose

and when she gets sassy she is so quick to say she is sorry

how she loves her brothers

how she loves to brush her hair

what braces look like on her

her love for little girl things

like princesses and Disney

but her athletic side 

and love for soccer and football

Bo

your hugs and pure heart

your questions

more questions

and more

deep deep deep 

questions

like the ones that I really do not have an answer for

your excitement

your manners

your ability to never hold a grudge

how you trip over your own feet

how you just roll with everything

shrug your shoulders

its no big deal

your intensity

and energy

and imagination 

from wanting to built a robot out of our recyclables

to all the things you want to be when you grown up

Baylen

the passy that continues to hang from your mouth when you talk

your need everything to be just so

your pillow

your shoes

your blanket

everything

your ability to remember every single detail

how you love love your brother Bo

how you love you sister

and pat Mcrae on the back

how you want to be held all the time

a time will come when you won't

watching you run

with all of your body

your chunkiness

Mcrae

Feeding you a bottle

how your eyebrows lift up like it is so good

how you come up for a breath

how when you fall asleep you conform to me

how you breath when you drink

rocking you alone in the glider

how you hold on with one hand while looking around

seeing your sweet face when you wake from a nap

how you play with your hair when you drink

how you have a deep belly laugh only when your siblings make you laugh

how you crawl kinda on a knee....

your sweet smile that is always present

Some of my favorites....

I have so many things I want to blog about...
