Life is going by so fast


It has been about a month since I last posted anything. Yet it feels like two weeks. A lot has happened. I finished another summer, and started another fall with the YMCA. Presley started walking...then running within a week. I stopped nursing the last feeding I was hanging onto. Did you hear me say that??? Hey, I have always been known for transperency, good or bad. I am feeling so overwhelemed with how fast life is going, how much work is taking from me, how quickly Presley went from baby to toddler that I feel like I can't breathe at times. Then I realize how selfish I am being and snap out of it...


So I need to get back to the basics. The reality is that when I realize that I am grounded in Jesus, none of this matters. Jobs come and go, children grow up and leave to build their own...but Jesus is my constant.


Amen.


Pictures for your enjoyment =)

Hi Kate - I cannot believe this is the little baby that was just born yesterday. And what a cute little ham.

I know what you mean about being "overwhelmed" and thank you for your your kind note, words of encouragement and generous offer of help.

I think we're good to go this week but if I need to take you up on that, it's nice to know there are options.

Blessings to you and your family.
