James Blessing

James was blessed on September 1, 2013.  There were a lot of people there to support him.  I love my family and I am so grateful for all of them.  We rented out the clubhouse so we could have lunch after the blessing. 

 

 

 

Thanks to everyone who came and for everything you helped with!  We love you all!

Busy, Busy, Busy

I have been so busy I haven't had the time to blog.  I'm so far behind.  We will see how many posts I will be able to do.  Things have been super crazy with having two kids.  I very rarely have any time to myself.  Luckily Ryan still takes a nap (or he will sit in his room during nap time if he isn't tired).  That means the boys are both down for a couple hours at the same time.  Usually instead of being productive during this time, I try to take a nap too, otherwise I struggle to make it through the rest of the day.  School has also started which makes life even crazier.  Occasionally I can get a little work done during the day but most of it gets done once kids are in bed for the night.  Life is crazy, but I wouldn't trade it for anything.

Ben is finally done with school!!  I can't even begin to tell you how nice it is to not have him doing homework every night, or not seeing him until almost 11 at night.  Congratulations Ben!  I am so proud of you and I love you so much!
