This past weekend it was time to cut off Jamins mullet..
somehow in my mind I thought if we cut his hair it would "de-babyfy" him. I left it long way longer then I should have because of this.
Now that it's cut (he didn't become a man overnight) I wonder why I didn't do it sooner as he looks much cuter and 'taken care of'.
oh the thoughts we go through as our kiddos growing up...kinda funny!
Sometimes I'd like to freeze moments in time and just sit there taking it all in.
Thanks to my good friend April Martin for capturing this moment on a walk the other day!
It's fun sometimes having someone get the moments that I can't document myself!!
We have had a Rough start to the year, we have been sick for the past 2 weeks. It's nice to say it looks like we are through the darkness and into the light now! I don't enjoy being sick (who does right?!) and I find being sick with a toddler brings even more challenge. It's not only a struggle physically, but mental, and emotional strength must kick into gear...survival of the fittest!! ;) I had to check myself numerous times as I wanted to just run away and escape reality..sleep till the hurts went away...but nooope (that's not What I signed up for) so we powered through dealing with one symptom at a time.
My thing lately has been "keep things in perspective" ..even if I'm feeling low or going through a challenge I remind myself How blessed I am in this life.
It's not always easy turning my "blues into blessings" but I find when I do my mood turns quickly.
A few things I remind myself of..
A God who is always there for me
A wonderful and healthy family
A home that is safe, warm, and beautifully crafted by my talented husband (with more contents then one person needs)
So many loving friendships and people who Care about us...and so much more, food in our bellys, clothes on our backs, cars to drive, etc, etc!
So thankful to be over these sick symptoms, we celebrated by going for a swim on a snowy day....
We are ready to start a new year, with new adventures and great blessings!!!
...not to mention a few blog posts here and there. ;)
