We literally spent all week outside! Splashing in the driveway, playing in the leaves, picking up sticks, having fun with our playgroup, going to the park and spending time up north!
I am a wife of almost 9 years. I have a boy who will be 6 this summer and heading to Kindergarten this fall! I have a sweet little girl who just turned 3. We just got the shock of a lifetime when we learned we are having one more miracle baby who is helping to heal the hurt after learning of my Mom's diagnosis with ALS in the late fall of 2013. I am taking each new day as it comes, abdundantly aware of the grace and mercy that is shown to me from above. I work 4 a.m. to 9 a.m. and then come home to my kids. It's neither easy nor always fun but it's such a blessing and always an adventure. I have always loved to write and have found a love of photography shortly after my son was born in 2008. I shoot with a Canon 60D and primarily with my 50 mm 1.4.
I have been pretty into parenting books lately and it's been an incredible ride so far. There is so much out there but I have gone to the church library and been so happy and impressed with what I have read thus far. I highly recommend "Dare to Discipline" By James Dobson and oddly enough the Duggar story. No, I don't want 18 children but their theories and the way they run their household is nothing short of amazing. They are a testament to living to hear the voice of God himself and then following his instruction.
I also recently finished Magic Hour by Kristin Hannah and it was (i know I say this every book of hers) one of my favorites! She is coming out with a new sequel to Firefly Lane, my all-time favorite book called "Fly Away" and I am so excited to get my hands on it!
I am still carrying around (everywhere) with me The Shack. I am utterly terrified of starting it and find an excuse everytime I get a second not to start it. (It's dark out, I only have 5 minutes, I'm home alone.) It's ridiculous and I know it but now I have totally psyched myself out! Soon, soon, I keep saying.
Lastly, have you read "The Host" by Stephanie Meyer? It's coming out in the theaters soon and it's a must read! It was a bit sci-fi for me but I couldn't put it down and it looks like a really good movie!
