Landon:
He did a week of nights this week. Went in at 5:00pm and came home around 7:00am. Sounds exhausting. But he likes what he is doing. I'm so grateful for that. He is training for a marathon now, so he'd sleep during the day, wake up and go running, come home get ready and then play with the boys. Three of the five nights he left I was in tears. HAHAHA. I'm such a baby. Nights are the hardest with Ty--so Landon leaving and then me having two more hours to fill in 10 degree weather, while its pitch black in a 850sq/ft home.... not the easiest. But its temporary and also its really not that bad. We have everything we need and more. So much more. We are blessed. But I still cry sometimes okaY?
Anyway i'm proud of Landon's hard work and i'm happy to support him in every good endeavor--even if it means i'm a mess sometimes. He does so much for us, like waking up early one afternoon to take us sledding, and he is the one person who knows every part of me. I couldn't do life without him, and I wouldn't want to. I love him and like him... a lot. Oh and we went on the BEST date last night. It was one for the books--and is actually already detailed in my journal hahaha!
Becca:
I've been listening to this awesome podcast called "God Centered Mom." I want to be more intentional on controlling my emotions as a mom and this has really helped me. I had some huge break throughs this week and I just hope I can continue to be the mom God wants me to be. I can't do it without Christ though.
I loved taking the boys sledding a few times. I also had a girls night at my house with some resident wives that was really fun. We went to another resident families house tonight (the Dorniks) and I just am so inspired by people and their goodness. I ran a lot this week and it feels good to run and not train right now. Also I love running and then walking in the snow. Its the best!!
Jaxson:
Loved sledding. Loved playing with his friend Tanner at the jump and bounce. He also got to play with the Felsted boys which is always fun. He colored a million pages. He had a little christmas program and was such a good singer. I always tell Jax that he has to remember four words no matter what happens in his life, "Mom loves Jax always." One night when I was particularly tired and landon was gone and I had burnt dinner and ty was screaming we sat at the table and I must have look spent cause Jax said "Mommy!!! remember THESE four words... Jax loves mom always." I cried happy tears for a while!
Tyler:
Must have been teething all week because his screaming was rough. I could eat him up while he is dancing and excited and just toss him out when he's hungry and tired and teething. So hard. I realize how terrible of a sentence that was. But alas, I feel that way sometimes. This stage has not been my favorite--but i love him lots and like him too, so thats good :).
Oh and there is a mouse that really wants to move in. Come back in 6 months and its yours little guy. SIX MONTHS!!! Whoa. Freaking out.
