The last few weeks have been very good. This experience has been so life changing already... I have felt like I learn just as much or more than Scott does and I am not even the one out selling in the the hot sun all day. I think there are times in our lives when the lord is trying to teach us something and sometimes it takes some major humbling for him to do so. Lets just say I feel like I have been very humbled. Being home all day and being who I am and worrying and fretting all the time about all the little things. In this job it is easy on those bad days to get discouraged and wonder if we will be okay but I have learned that when those moments come that I have a choice. I have a choice to let things get me down and make me stressed and unhappy all day or I have a choice to be positive and happy. This is something that I personally haven't always been great at. This last week I have just been pondering about all the things I love. I have found when you do this, even on a hard day no matter the circumstance, it is almost impossible to allow yourself to be unhappy and always makes you more great full for what you have.
I love that Scott and I are here spending this time together and establishing who we are as a family and what we want as a family.
I love that I have a husband who is always so uplifting and positive... You would never know he had a bad day.. he always says tomorrow is going to be great.
I love that Brynlee is understanding a little more each day she is so fun! When I ask for a kiss 95% of the time she will give me one, even if she has to crawl across the floor to do so.
I love that she made her second sign this week!! (More) I think she is getting frustrated with me! I had fed her dinner and she seemed done so about an hour later when I ate she wanted some of my dinner. I was giving her little bites here and there and when I finished I got up to put all of the mess away. she proceeded to throw an absolute fit throwing herself on the floor.
(she is getting very good at that by the way) so I picked her up and asked her what was wrong. As I looked down her arms were going a hundred miles an hour and she was hitting her hands together! I was so excited I immediately gave her more and then would wait she would sign again and this continued for quite sometime. It's not everyday she gets funeral potatoes! lol she thought they were quite delicious!
I love that we have such supportive family at home!
I could go on and on as I have been full of these thoughts lately, but I truly love my life. I am grateful for this experience and the opportunity it has given me to better myself as a mom. I really do love it, and am having so much fun just focusing on Brynlee and putting all my efforts into teaching her and loving this time we have together, because I often think it won't be to long before she thinks it's not so cool to play with her mom all day long!
Well after that big spiel.... We have had a fun Sunday we went to the Houston Nature Center and walked around. It was so nice to get out and be together. WE saw many turtles and even a snake! We love our Sundays together I think we appreciate the time together so much more now that we only have 1 full day together!
This is at Memorial Park in Houston. It was so fun to go walk the trails.
Scott's phone broke so Bryn now has one of her own. She is so cute she grabs it and holds it up to her ear while I talk to her and we then have a conversation through the phone!
I learned how to make tutus this last week, so I made one for bryn. On Thursday morning when I was changing her clothes while she was naked I put it on her and she looked so cute I had to take some pictures. Here is our goofy girl showing off to the camera!
