Where did the last month go?

I can't believe it's been a month since my last post. Crazy how time flies!!! Life is great! The kids are growing and learning every day. They are both so smart!

Addi's vocabulary, which was already great, has really developed in the last month. She is saying 5 word sentences quite a bit. Tonight she looked at Jared and me and said, "Jesus saves!" We then asked her where Jesus lives and she pointed to her heart. :) Such a sweet girl...and paying attention in Sunday School. She does still have a listening issue (as in she rarely wants to do as she tolds). I was in tears the other night because I just don't know what to do about her behavior. I know she's only two, but still, I wish she'd listen a little more. I know that she will eventually, but one thing is for sure, Jared and I totally don't have this parenting thing by the tail...but I guess that's common and we probably never will. :)

Brogan has added to his vocabulary and, in addition to mama and dada, now says, "Dat" (that), "Bye-Bye" and "No." He stands on his own quite a bit and will use the furniture to cruise around. I'm sure he will be walking before we know it. He has started hitting a little bit and we are hoping it's just a phase that he will soon outgrow. Surprisingly, when he hits his sister, she doesn't hit back. Maybe we should let her deck him one time so he'll learn his lesson. ;) Kidding. :)

We are all enjoying the beautiful weather and being able to spend lots of time outdoors!! It's so nice! We love our family time and just wish we had more of it together.

Anyway, after a WONDERFUL three day weekend, it's back to the grind tomorrow. Unfortunately, my outlook on my job still hasn't changed. It's a job and I'm blessed to have it, but I REALLY want to be at home with my children. Sometimes I completely feel out of God's will, but Jared and I both don't feel like it's God's will for me to quit or cut my hours right now either (thanks to the stupid health insurance aspect). So, we wait and pray that we are hearing God correctly and I am just praying and hoping that my babies aren't completely grown-up before I can spend more time with them. Enough of the woe is me, though.

We are looking forward to the rest of April...including attending a shower for my sweet nephew that is due in a few weeks! :) Can't wait to celebrate!!! :)

Have a blessed week!!
