Recent Happenings

Well, we've had quite the excitement happening around our place. Excitement that I'd rather not have!! My cute hubby crashed on his motorcycle last Wednesday....needless to say, it's been a little stressful around here. BUT he is doing good, just got a little banged up.
Left leg/knee...MAJOR road rash. He also sprained his right ankle pretty bad.... He is VERY good at wearing his helmet and riding jacket...which is what saved him obviously. The guy who witnessed the crash said he flew about 75 feet and did around 15 flips...ouch....He is recovering well and getting LOTS of attention...hahahahahaha.....I am doing better as well, can anyone say panic attack???!!!!

In other news...Abby finally lost both front teeth! wahoo!!!

Think and Wonder...Wonder and Think

Hmmmm...life with 4 kids....has been an adjustment. And I'm still adjusting. I have my ups and downs. Rylie is a cutie and we all love her. I have enjoyed being able to breastfeed her. It's been a whole new experience for me. We have been learning together. My oldest girls only got breastfed for a few weeks and Walker I didn't at all. I am so happy that it's worked out this time for me to do this. It's been a completely different experience...one I will be sad to give up when the time comes. I sometimes sit here and think....holy crap...I have four kids. I HAVE FOUR KIDS!!! What have I done? what was I thinking????!!!! Me, Miss Niss...handling four kids and everything else?

I feel very unprepared some days for being a mom. Well, unprepared doesn't seem like the right word.

There are things I miss because there just isn't enough time in the day...or I am just too exhausted. One of those things is my husband. Some days I feel like we don't even get a chance to talk to each other. I am with the baby....he is helping with the other kids...dinner...baths for them...baths for us...bed...and by the time I get the cute little girl down to sleep--there went the whole night.

It will get better...I am looking forward to it. Can time stand still just for an hour??

I'm thinking maybe I need to make more of an effort....

I am running again and that feels wonderful...it helps me to release some stress, frustrations...helps me to clear my mind and be with my thoughts for a little while atleast. I feel like I am on my way to getting myself back...I get lost in the midst of everything sometimes...forget who I am and who I'm striving to become. Embrace myself...embrace life...embrace my kids...embrace my Nathan...remember what it's all about.

Enjoy the process, be happy and LOVE every minute....

Just 'cuz....

Look at those cute CHEEKS!!!

And like Father, like Son!!!!
