Reasonable Resilience

To those of you bugging me to add some pictures or something (clearing throat)...Heidi. Here you are, just a few Noah at 4 1/2 months or if you prefer Bubba And Grace the aspiring actress catching up on some very important reading almost 3 years

I've been looking at this blog for awhile thinking about what exactly it's about. I don't know, but it helps to know it's here when I need to write out something I can't express vocally. Eric got a contract to a church in a town close to my parents and two of his brothers. I don't think we're taking it. I can't decide whether I'm really sad, or if I'm being selfish by wanting to move. We won't stay in Saginaw forever. I have actually come around to liking it here because of the people we know, but I wouldn't mind moving to someplace I feel like I fit in. I told Eric I think we're changing our personalities to make ourselves belong here and I don't think God intended that. There isn't a good reason to move now, but I can't imagine our kids starting school and then moving after they become established. I guess we'll see what happens after Eric's year of school. Until then. I think I'm home

Happy Fathers Day I'm less than a week late!!

Here are my kids Grace, she's a ham and Noah, he's my bubba They both have four names and so far Grace fits hers. We'll see about Noah in a couple of years. I love that they love each other. Grace says aaaawwww everytime she sees her brother and Noah smiles at her everytime she's around and he isn't hungry. My husband is the head of our house and he serves God for a living. Not always in costume. This all makes me happy.

Happy Mothers Day

Grace gets so excited when anyone comes to visit that we have to tell her she has "special friends" coming instead of who it really is. This weekend is Noah's baptism and we have a lot of "special friends" coming. She's so excited she just keeps on saying Grace: "Mommy, I have something to tell you" Me: "Yes?" Grace: "I have special friends coming?" Me: "Yes you do" Grace: "Oh, okay" You can see the wheels turning in her head just contemplating who and when these special friends are going to magically appear and play with her. Needless to say, I am excited about the special friends too! I need to get out more.

So Noah went in for his two week appointment today. Someone had to stay home with Grace because she was sleeping. I got to go with Noah because I carry the milk with me at all times and Eric stayed home. Noah was sleeping until I had to take all of his clothing off and weigh him and measure him. It took the doctor 20 minutes to get into the room in which time I really had to use the bathroom. I left with Noah to use the facilities and Noah screamed the entire time. SCREAMED! Beet red screaming. All the while the doctore was looking at hime Yelling to ask questions. Me: sweating and more than likely leaking from all of the baby cries. I got home and he had fallen asleep in the car. Grace was sleeping Eric was on the computer I had a dentist appointment that I went to Worried about leaving a cranky baby I was antsy to get out of there. An hour later I came home to a silent home. Noah was STILL sleeping, Grace JUST woke up and Eric did the DISHES. Do you ever feel as though you may be bei...
