If anyone reads this within the next few days, Jared and I could use your prayers. I can't go into details, but an opportunity may present itself that will require a pretty major decision on our part (and no, the decision does not involve a move).
In other news:
Brogan is doing great! Growing like a weed (I think...he still seems pretty small to us), He is starting to sleep a little better at night...praise Jesus! He is also more alert and is smiling...melts my heart. Poor thing doesn't like to be put down though...cries a lot. He also gets hit by his sister...a lot. She better be careful, one day he will probably be bigger than her.
Addi is crazy as ever. :) She is becoming very polite...says, "peese" (please), "tant you" (thank you) and my personal favorite, "beshu" (bless you) when someone sneezes. She loves to help around the house...usually this involves helping us clean a mess she has made, but that's OK. She is very sociable...says, "hi" to everyone she sees at church or in a store or anywhere else we may be. She loves her brother...loves to talk to him, lay beside him, brush his hair, rub his head and hit him. Again, we're working on the hitting part...and the stealing his pacifier part...and the screaming to make him cry part...and the laughing when she makes him cry part. Yes, Addi is a work in progress, but hey, who isn't??
Jared and I are doing good, too. :) We have successfully learned how to carry on a conversation when one or both of the babies are crying. We have also learned how to look at each other in defeat when we realize the conversation must be put on hold because we can't really hear each other. We are enjoying extra time together while I'm on maternity leave. I keep telling Jared this is the way it could always be, but reality is it can't be right now...so I have to suck it up and move on...and go back to work on August 1st. It could be worse...I could be without a job...without children...without a husband, etc. We love our church...so blessed to listen to such an incredible man of God preach every Sunday...and we love the choir...and really like the workers in the nursery...we don't love the parking, but we now have a double stroller so that when we make the trek across the parking lot we still look presentable by the time we reach the church building. Actually, I always did...Jared would carry both kids, I would carry the Bibles...yes, he spoils me. :)
I am super excited that I got my hair cut the other day. It had not been cut for 7 months...yes, that's embarrassing to admit. But it's cut now and I feel like a new woman...amazing how a haircut can do that for you. I am also super excited because I get to go to a Beth Moore conference later this month. I love her teachings; she is an incredible woman. The conference is on a Friday night and Saturday morning. It is in Charlotte, so I'm not going to have to leave the babies overnight. Jared is watching the kids on Friday night and Saturday morning...I'm sure he's thankful he won't have to try to nurse Brogan on Friday night. ;)
I miss my sister and don't like that we live four hours away from each other. I hope she reads this and calls me...and asks if her and her husband can come stay with us on Labor Day weekend like they did last year. That was a ton of fun...we want to do it again. HINT HINT!!
That's all for now. Enjoy your week!
