Home at Last!

I am so excited I could scream! After 13 months of living on my parents basement, we are finally moving into our own house! We found this really cute, 3 bedroom, 2 bath, house for rent. It is so stinkin cute and there are so many possiblities! The outside is a pale yellowish color with white shutters. It has a cute little front porch with a swing! I KNOW!! Our landlord is putting new appliances in the kitchen and a new washer and dryer. They are also fencing in the back yard, which is about 1/2 acre for the boys to play in!. I am so excited! I have already started planning my decorating project. I have 2 twin beds that I am going to paint for the boys, and we are gonna paint our bedroom set as well. It seems the only furniture we need is for the living room. Anyway...we are going to have our own place and I couldn't be more excited!

Life in general

I know...but I am not going to apologize. I mean if you can't understand that life gets in the way when you have kids, then oh well. I have ebbn thinking a lot about life lately. I look at my beautiful children and see what a fun stage they are both in and wonder where the heck the time goes. I mean... weren't they born just yesterday? I remember...I was supposed to be at a 423 worship night on Feb.18, 2005 but instead I was heave ho-ing a baby out. I remember. Now he is coming up on 3 years old and I love him even more today than I did yesterday. Same thing with Hunter. He came so quickly and so easily, but still this little person and now he is walking all over the place and talking all the time.

Why do the changes in life make us sad sometimes? I always thought that growing up was the coolest thing ever, and I couldn't wait to get to those next levels of life. Now, as I see my children growing like weeds I miss those babies who needed me more than anything else. I guess that's how most parents feel when they see their children getting older. You like seeing them grow in their independence but you still wish you could rock them to sleep every night. I just wish as we grew we wouldn't push aside the needingness that we all have as children. Because as a parent it is nice to be needed every once in a while.
