Blessings and growings

Yup.  Blessed.  That's what we are.  Each night I tuck my kiddos into bed and remind myself how lucky I am to have a house to call a home, secure jobs and a family that loves me.  Doesn't get much better than that.  And... here's the pic to prove it!

So, what's new you ask???

Well, I'm a bit behind again.  Don't feel bad.  It's not your fault.  I wasn't ignoring the blog.  I'm pretty much ignoring everything.

Callie is a whopping 3.5 months.  She's growing too fast.  I just want to bottle her up and keep her as a happy baby for just a little longer.  She's just the sweetest dang thing I ever laid my eyes on.  Could be because she smiles at me almost every time I look at her.  Plus she's a good sleeper, which means I get to be a good sleeper.  Basically, that makes us all happy.  She's almost rolling over, so by the next time I post, she'll probably be crawling.  Yikes!  OK, maybe I'll post sooner just to make myself feel like I am slowing down her rapid growing.

And then there's my Lilly.  My sweet Lilly.  She too is growing.  Not really, she's still a peanut, but at least intellectually she is growing!  Colors are the new thing.  She's really trying to get them down and asks A LOT about colors.  Also, when Callie cries in the car, Lilly sings her ABCs to calm her down.  Lilly started dance class last week and proudly marched herself right in the studio.  No need for Mama to hold her hand anymore.  She was too "big" for that.  I only got a wave every once in a while.  Independent little miss, just like her mommy.

As for me, I'm back to work.  Blah, blah, blah.  Feels like I never left.  Its tough to find a good balance of work and home.  I for sure, for sure, wouldn't want to be a stay at home mom, but a little more time with the girlies would be nice.  I'd like to suggest a 6 hour work day.  I think that would be fantastic.  Pretty sure that those decision makers wouldn't agree.  I digress.

Jereme's gearing up for hunting season.  Pretty sure I might not see him at all until Christmas.  He's got plans for South Dakota deer hunting.  Goose/duck and pheasant in MN.  Plus he's getting a membership to a game farm.  Oh boy, oh boy!  I better brush up on my wild game cooking.  Wait, maybe he needs to brush up on his.  Yes, I think that is the correct frame of mind :)

Until next time folks!
