Charmed Life

It takes me about six weeks after my c-sections to feel human, but it takes me six months to feel like myself again. The last few months are a bit of a blur, but as Henry gets bigger and all things level out, I am stopping to count a few of my blessings in my very charmed life.

I love this patient, sweet man who supports me in all my ups and downs. I also love my new hair, literally a weight is off my shoulders!

My dad is getting ready to go north again, and he will be greatly missed. I am so grateful for my parents help and how much they love my children. My kids have the best grandparents (on both sides)

My niece and nephew went without sugar, of their own choice, for four months. We helped Noah break the streak at Oreganos on his birthday with a pizzookie. I am so proud of their willpower.

On a side note, Lukey got his arm stuck in a metal umbrella stand at the restaurant and someone at another table had to tell me, there goes my "mother of the year" award for 2010, better luck next year! Jeffey has the best "bed head"!

I have started a pretty demanding workout scheduele and thanks to my sister and Leah, have stayed on track for three weeks so far. I took this picture one night. The kids enjoy playing while we do the videos and I hadn't been back to see the damage until I tucked the boys in. I haven't felt this great in sooo long.

Ben/Mario is another one of my favorite things! Between all the boys, I get plenty of comedic relief in any given day.

I am in LOVE!!! I could just eat this tiny boy. His sweet smile makes it all worth it. I love watching his little personality develop.

Life is certainly not perfect, I'm tired a lot and lose my patience too much. Our home is rarely spottless and we don't usually make it anywhere on time, but it sure is a fun ride. When we are all playing "ten tricks" on the trampoline together, I wish time could just stand still.
