Fall Updates

Caught in the monsoon!

I could have never imagined how busy life would get in just six short years of marriage. I honestly don't know where the weeks go. Between commuting to school for Ben and soon Jeff, and Brian gone a ton for school and work, it seems like there is never enough time or sleep. I love this picture because it reminds what is most important to me. It isn't easy having Brian gone, not on him or me, but I feel like we are doing such good things for our family right now. I can honestly say that I can feel myself growing, maturing maybe and it is kind of cool. I still complain a lot and sulk from time to time, but I am really happy. I fear so much that I will forget this time in my life. It just feels like it goes so fast. Following are some updates of the boys of the things I want to remember when they are grown. There are so many moments each day that I am playing with them on the floor, chasing them around the couch or singing silly songs in the car that I am just amazed that they are mine (at least for now). I am overwhelmed at how individual they are and how they work together and blend to make my life so full. I love my camera, but just wish there was even a better way to bottle their innocence and excitement for life and show them later when life is more complicated. I am so grateful for the sacrifice it requires to be a mother and how that shapes me. I am grateful for the patience and selflisness I learn each day.
