Easter 2011

We had a wonderful Easter today. I haven't been feeling great this weekend so it was a little hard getting up and ready for church, but thankfully I had my parents to help!

Jack did great in the church nursery. He hadn't been doing well at Watermark which is sad because I like it there. I was really worried he would be upset when we got to First Baptist this morning and one of us did cry but it wasn't him..........I think I had a little separation anxiety! When I came to pick him up he was in the corner trying to figure out how the swings turn on. He's so independent and probably going to be an engineer!!

We decided to have an egg hunt since it was going to storm and mommy wasn't feeling well. I just scattered the eggs around and let him go to see what he would do...he knew exactly how to get them and put them in his basket! He's so smart. We had another hunt for Gigi when she got home from church.

We did bubbles and played in the backyard most of the day. It never rained thank goodness!

All in all it was a wonderful day and most importantly Jack learned how much his Jesus loves him. I told him Jesus loves him even more than mommy, which is a whole lot!

This is real love. It is not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins. 1 John 4:10

Fall is here!

It is cool today. That means boots and leggings and sweaters! I love fall. I love the colors, Halloween, cool weather, pumpkin spice latte, costumes, parties, and school during fall. The kids at school are excited and have procedures down. We can start learning more and not worry about how to walk in a line or tie shoes. Well, lets be honest those are on-going lessons...

Jack is ready for fall because all of his 12 mth clothes are long-sleeve and he is ready to move to 12 mth! He is getting sooo big! He has 2 new teeth poking in. That must be why he was such a dear this week...He is saying 'momma' all the time now. Yesterday he looked at me and said 'mom' , 'mom', 'mommy'. I live for the weekends when I get to see him all day.

I also like fall because it means Brittany Hartman will be baking yummy stuff for us!!!

My mind is blank.... which is good.

I really have nothing to say which is rare. It's a good thing because I tend to over-think and over-analyze and worry ALL the time. I am really working on enjoying things and being present and LETTING GO. I am very happy. My life is far from perfect and some situations worry me at times and scare me at times, fear of the unknown can consume one. However, I could spend all my days worrying about something that hasn't happened, or spend this day loving my sweet baby Jack. I have finally chosen the latter one. Things will work out for the best as long as I am faithful and patient. Besides, how can you worry about things when this face is looking at you?
