The Bigger Picture

Thank goodness there are times we can focus on the bigger picture in life.

Progress with children can be frustrating. Potty training, for instance, isn't the highlight of my existence. But sometimes you have moments when you realize that your child wearing a diaper until they're twenty is okay if he gets things that matter more in the long run.

For two nights in a row he has said our nightly family prayer. It feels my heart with joy, and I know that he will be okay. I need to be thankful for those important accomplishments and not so upset about the small things he hasn't quite mastered, like not peeing on my couch!

WE'RE MOVING!!!!!!

The concept is beyond crazy. I have moved quite a few times with my family, then for college, then for marriage, but this just feels way different. I'm both anxious and excited. It's the first time we have moved with Josh. Which means we have a bagillion more things to pack! Uggghhh...what's with all the TOYS????

Where....ATLANTA!!!

When....end of October-beginning of November.

Why....Greg got a job at Georgia Pacific. We buy a ton of their products, so I guess it's time they start paying us back :)

We are excited for a fresh start with our little family. Maybe now people might read my blog to see what we are up to!

Night with REBA!!!!

I've always wanted to see Reba in concert. Her music is some of the first country music I listened to with my parents. It was a lot of fun, but somewhat bitter sweet thinking about how much my mom would have enjoyed being there with me :(

Thanks again to Jim for scoring such great seats and backstage passes. I don't know what I will do if I ever have to buy a ticket again. Scary :)

Renda went with me again. It was great to get to do that with her! I have more pics, but my computer seems to not be cooperating with downloading them. Maybe later...

Fall days are here

It has been so nice lately. We have got to play outside and not worry about having a heat stroke! I can't be more proud that Josh finally is using the pedals on his bike!!! He really is becoming a kid and not just a toddler. Bitter sweet :) Now we just need to finish the potty training!

Special visit from friends

My friend Misty from New York came to visit her in-laws over the Labor Day weekend and got to hang out with us for a little while. We took them to Aldridge. Josh and Lorelai were so cute holding hands!

Nightly routine

Josh has gotten into a routine of wanting to build a "mountain" every night. He loves to climb!

Favorite new toy

Uncle Chris won! (Besides Josh's bed, Chris got the best toy for Josh's birthday.)

Moon sand!

It's been weeks since he got this and he still asks daily to go play ''moonsand!"
