crazy...

I tell you what, April was crazy! I have felt like there's a ton going on, and at the same time like I have done nothing at all but just maintain. I guess I should get used to that seeing that we are a pretty busy house right now.

So, I apologize to all of you that feel neglected...it's not just you. It's everyone. I am sorry, I have been the world's worst friend. And now I am using my blog to apologize? What??? That's crazy nonsense! {{{BOO}}}

But I have 4 incredible reasons/excuses for my neglect. My heart could not be more in love with my job as wife and mommy. And so, this is where my time and attention have been.

The best dad ever reading to the kids before bed. Notice he didn't even get a chance to change clothes!

And because I want you all to see just a little of what's been keeping me...here they are!

Lil' bit and her bubbles! She's so easy, she even enjoys her toes when she has no toys. I know you are thinking that all kids do this, but she's my first to enjoy her feet!

My funny guy loving his new hair style. Do all toddlers LOVE chewing gum or is it that I am the only one crazy enough to give it to my kids???

The boys and their science experiment. No lie, that's what Owen told me this bag O' water was...and it needed to be refrigerated for 4 "dayses". I love my life!

My incredible husband bought Sadie and I flowers just because he loves us. I LOVE tulips!

Owen and Baylor cheesing it up on the swing set. They sure do have fun together! What a blessing to have such wonderful neighbors!

I am in serious denial of Owen's age. Although I should be expecting it, he tells me he's 4 everyday (he's still 3 months shy!) . That face just makes me melt!Sadie's first wagon ride. I know, I know...she's 8 months old and only now getting in a wagon. Cooper feeding Sadie baby food. He did such a good job for his age, but all I could do was giggle watching her head wobble trying to chase his ever-moving spoon. Again, I can't tell you how much I laugh in a day!

Another huge blessing this week was that I was able to see the kids birth mom's this week. What an answered prayer to have relationships with these incredible women! Even more cool is their love not only for these children we share, but for our family. I can not share pictures although I know they would bring you all to tears.

Please pray for these women and all who have lost children over Mother's Day. This incredible holiday is so intensely painful for so many women, whether they are not able to carry children, are waiting for a child through adoption, have lost a child, or have placed a child...it's more than I could ever begin to imagine. My prayers are with you all on Sunday!
