The difference between Nate and Drew

Well one difference of many...

Tonight for their personal prayers Andrew's went something like this:

"Dear Heavenly Father, thank for Daddy, and Mommy, and Dahlia (a friend from church), for Maggie, for Daddy, for my pillow, and blanket and thank for Daddy, and Maggie, and Daddy to be home to play with me and Nate. In the name of Jesus Christ Amen."

Nate's went like this:

"Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for this day and this food. Thank you for big ideas and big imaginations. In the name of Jesus Christ Amen."

My motivation

And this is why I will keep going.

I'm in awe...

I'm in awe of my son Drew. It's been what, a week, and he's totally potty trained. He's pooped on the potty twice now and has had no accidents in three days.

I'm in awe of my sweet husband who gives so much to the kids and to me. Thank you sweetheart for everything you do. And thank you for Lisa. ;)

I'm in awe of a working body. I may be overweight, but my body can still do hard exercise and it feels wonderful. (Sidenote: I've decided to start chronicling this weight loss journey and if anyone is interested in seeing my really boring, probably no point but for me blog, just let me know...)

I'm in awe of Maggie who slept 13 hours the other night and then the next two nights got up twice to eat. ;)

I'm in awe of a Savior who loves me unconditionally and hasn't give up on me yet.

Big Boy Drew

What have we been up to you ask? Well...




We've been working on helping Drew be a big boy. And I have to say, despite going stir crazy being at home all day, every day, it's been worth it. Drew is doing really, really well. We're so proud of you big boy!
