Life
I really have a lot I’m itching to write about but am struggling to find an hour or even just half an hour to get it done. We are settling into a school/fall routine and are starting to figure things out.
I still can’t believe that between three different schools with different starting and ending times, ballet, speech, and gymnastics, there is no logistical impossibility. I can get people to where they need to be on time. Football starts up this week which may blow all of that right out of the water…….we shall see!
I can’t believe I have a six month old. Nor can I believe how sweet she is. Because half our day is spent in the car, poor thing falls asleep in her seat, is rudely awakened by my unbuckling her sweet, chubby body, only to be put in her bed to finish her nap. She kindly rolls over, gets her thumb and gets to sleeping.
God’s grace is everywhere I look. This year’s teachers, a new school that is an absolute gift, friends, provision, and peace.
Some excerpts from tonight’s dinner table conversation:
“Mom, when we go to heaven, will be children again? Or will we stay old?”
“THIS is not a forever place. Heaven is the forever place.”
“I do NOT want to be the first one of us to get married ’cause I don’t want to kiss on the lips.”
“What is the purpose of a house? To give you shelter. To keep you dry and warm or cool. So any house that does that is a nice house and one to be thankful for.”
Sleep well.

What a sweet and lovely little baby! God knew just who you needed, didn’t He?
awww….such little sweet conversation tacked on the end. Your baby’s picture just makes me want to pick her up and squaWEEEEEEze her.
Glad you got a little chance to post.
I’ve missed you!
Happy Tuesday!
i can’t believe your baby is SIX months already. that’s crazy!! she is such a beauty – looks so much like you, especially through the eyes.
i was just looking this morning at the girls ballet registrations – and thinking how in just another wk or so we’re going to be kicked in full gear to all the mad running and driving all over to get everyone where they need to be~ and with new baby in tow.. hopefully.
i know what you mean about just feeling God’s grace everywhere though.. those times when you really should be screaming, and yet you feel strangely peaceful. yup. no other explanation. 
always enjoy an update from ya and hearing what you guys are doing.
have a great day there~ xo
…i was thinking of Ashley the other day… random memories from life w/ the Olsen girls at Heritage.
tell her i say hi and give her a big hug from me next time you see her~
