I use to look at those moms in the grocery store that had the children screaming limp in the basket making quite a
disturbance, and think boy that mom is doing a bad job. Well I now have that kid. Though he is full of tenderness and love, he can throw
temper tantrums like I couldn't have ever imagine.
Embarrassing? Yes!! Humbling? oh Yea! I though being an ER nurse doing CPR on a 300lb man was hard!! Not anymore, it's a lot harder to be a mom 24/7 of a strong willed child. We pray each moment that we don't lose our temper and pray that God will make them not into
juveniles some day.
I coordinated this group of mothers of preschoolers at our church and there has been many times in my two short years of being a parent, that I have considered quiting because of my own struggles in parenting. You name all the things parents have done wrong, I've
probably done it at least twice. I've learned not to make absolute rules for myself in parenting so I don't fully disappoint myself when I break it 2 minutes after I made it. I will trust that God's intervention and grace will fill in for all my mistakes, that Noah and Jacob will grow to love the Lord. Well there is my venting... Pray that we all survive the early years...
There is daring Noah going down the water slide at our community 4th of July events.
Daddy helped him up the first two times then noah said "I do it me-self."
Here they are debating if the slide is such a good idea or not?!
This is how the boys fly around the house.
Here are the boys at the Frisco Library making some noise! Jacob is into mimicking any sound Noah makes, luckily it is quieter than Noah's volume.
Outside the Library Noah was so happy to see a train. He asked to climb it I said he could but he had to do it on his own. I think I will have to reword that rule, in that Jacob (though he can't yet walk) can easily climb up onto the kids table in 30 seconds.
Tyler's Uncle is a Fire Fighter in Plano, TX. He graciously let us come and tour the fire station. Noah even got to put on is gear. Noah and Jacob had a blast!
The four of us trying to smile for a picture in front of the house.
Playing at the park with our new friend Genevieve.
Our wonderful small group helped us do the final packing and cleaning of our Sonora home so we could move to TX. We Miss all of our Small Group.
Our new place in Savannah TX
Noah loves feeding his little brother, whom is now 9 months old. Having two is a delight and a challenge.
Sun is a little bright but you can see how big the boys are getting!
Jacob helping me pack for our big move to Texas. He is so proud that he got himself in the frying pan.
