Life has been a whirlwind of busy times, fun times, and exhausting times!! I feel like it took me 9 whole months of Caiden being around to finally catch my breath and have things on track! The past two months have been filled with so many fun memories and lots of busy times. I expanded the daycare and went from having 6-8 little people here to 13 sometimes 14 little ones each day! This also involved hiring a wonderful assistant that is my right hand girl and keeps me sane during our super busy days! I watched my sweet Peyton enjoy another soccer season in which I was also the team mom for my first time ever! I worked in the kindergarten classroom each Tuesday-It is one of my FAVORITE times of the week! I treasure watching my sweet angel in "her world" I spend 3 hours a week at three different dance classes! Peyton is FANTASTIC in her ballet class and has taken to jazz like a champ, and Reagan was MADE to be a ballerina! She is amazing and seems more like a 6 year old on her toes, not 3! I have watched Reagan blossom into a very intelligent preschooler. I have been enjoying listening to Jordyn link sentences together, identify shapes and colors and sing songs! I have also been soaking up every single second of Caiden's sweet little life! He has 3 teeth, almost 4, can pull to a standing and loves to say "mama"!!! Jasper has been super busy at his job and also with his business so he is around quite a bit less lately which is not fun, but we are so thankful for the way the Lord has provided for us! I really feel like I live the most amazing life ever! It is full of stress, chaos, messiness, loudness and most of all love! My children give me a reason to get up each day even when I don't want to, they can make me laugh and smile when I would rather cry! They complete me!
Lately I have really been having a struggle feeling "done" with pregnancy and babies...I was certain after four I would feel complete, but I think a part of me will always miss being pregnant and having new babies in the house! I really try to soak up every-single-little detail, milestone and event with my family so I can keep that memory in my heart! Every memory I make with them makes my heart smile! When I look at myself and how I continue to change with each month, week, heck even day, I am blown away at how much my children have changed me. I do not even feel like the same person I used to be. I see life so different and have really had to prioritize to make sure my time and my heart is where it belongs. As usual, I am a work in progress BUT...I am very confident that I am right where God wants me to be. So I will continue to grow, change and create memories with my sweet, sweet family! Boy am I thankful for them!
These pictures are completely random BUT, it's just a few of my favorite memories of life lately! It's going so very fast and each day I pray for it to slow down! Until I find a freeze button, I will keep soaking it in and storing it in my mind and keeping it in my heart as best I can! There is something about the FALL season that just makes me so happy, so content and so thankful! Thankful for my family, great friends and for life!
I have so many more things to talk about, pictures to post, ideas and sanity savers to share, crafts to post and recipes everyone will love, BUT for tonight, I am off to prep for 12 little Indians to have a FANTASTIC Thanksgiving Feast tomorrow!! Blessings to you all and I would love to hear, what are YOU thankful for?
