Tanner Boy...

Sometimes he drives me insane. He sheds SOOOO much and causes me to have to sweep and vacuum non-stop...but I am thankful he is so relaxed and patient with Brylee! I'm sure she drives him CRAZY!

Time

Most days, I am trying to rush time. I can't wait until nap time, or bed time, or until Craig gets home so that he can do the entertaining. I can't wait until the baby comes so that I can sleep on my stomach again....or until our kids are grown up so that I can sleep in and we can take "real" vacations.

But today, as Brylee and I were jumping on the trampoline and later when we were mixing up cake batter for our "Prison Break" treats, I realized I don't want to rush through life. As I watched Brylee mix up the cake batter and take a big bite every time she stirred, I wanted time to stop. I sometimes get so busy and caught up in the day that I miss out on a lot. I wish time could stop right here.....and stay this way forever.

One day, these days will be gone...and all I will have are pictures and memories. That makes me sad. But I am so lucky and thankful for the life I have so that I can stay home with Brylee and enjoy these simple things. All I can try to do is appreciate every single second.
