Ah ... the sound of quiet. I am amazed at how God has perfectly timed the change of seasons. Just when the hot days of summer start to get old (or your air conditioner breaks?), the air starts to change and it's time for Fall sports - football, volleyball, soccer. The afternoons and evenings are starting to get cooler and it's nice to have the windows open, to smell the fresh cut grass or the rain we've been having.
So as nice as this weather is (73 degree temps during the day, low 60s at night & damp), it's also the catalyst for allergies and at our house, it's hitting hard. DJ's got all that junk built up and it's making him cough like crazy. He woke us up Tuesday morning literally coughing himself sick, so he took a sick day and stayed home. He stayed bed and watched ETV and colored and napped, and today was just about good as new. There's just something to be said for having a day of rest.
Miss Elly Belly is cutting her top front teeth, babbling like crazy and has us on our toes as we await her first steps ... yup, at just over 8 months, she's been pulling up for weeks, cruising, standing without holding on to anything and trying to stand up in the middle of a room. It's kind of crazy. Part of me can't wait for her to do all of the things that she's trying so hard to do (walk, talk, eat real food, keep up with her boys!) and there's another part of me that isn't ready to make the leap into toddler-hood. It just seems that her baby days have flown by.
So, this was just a catch-up blog. No soap boxes, no preachy moments ... just the everyday. The most precious of them all - getting to love my kids, comfort them, snuggle them, watch them learn and grow ... Hope you all are getting to do the same.
Oh! And a little welcome to my two newest cousins ... congrats Angie & family and Louis & family - can't wait to meet your sweet girls!
