enjoying the process » loving the journey, not just the destination

I love Wednesday nights! James takes all 3 kids to Awana and I get the entire house to myself. I do  have to work, but if I get my work done early- I get to play. I haven’t been able to play yet this year… but hopefully my time will come 🙂 Maybe a little scrapbooking?  At least I get to blog for a few minutes.

We went to the Pumpkin Patch today with our Moms Group from church. This year was the first year I wasn’t frantically looking for one of my children. There’s so much visual stimulation to pull their attention elsewhere.. their little ears just can’t seem to hear mommy’s voice when the giant fire truck is in sight. This year my kids were old enough to wander around with a little less supervision… it was actually a pleasant day at the Pumpkin Patch.

OOPS! My pictures are too big- but I’m too lazy to resize & repost- sorry.

my silly boys 🙂

Happy Fall Everyone!

It’s just Kennedy & me this morning. James took Cade out in the field with him (surveying) and Canyon is in preschool. So…. Kennedy & I are just hanging out. She is so good at entertaining herself. She plays and sings and dances & occasionally asks me a question.  She played with Canyon’s Buzz Lightyear backpack for about 30 minutes then decided to look out the window for daddy. She also blew a train whistle and said, "get on the board!"  It’s so fun having a little girl!

that’s right. That’s my new nickname… sicky McPukes-a-lot. Although I’m not sure if it’s totally appropriate since I’m not actually puking. Sure does feel like I need to though… not sure which one is worse- feeling like it or actually doing it. Oh, in case you hadn’t heard… here’s the reason why.

I know that line is a little light..but I think I was only 3 weeks pregnant when I took this first test.

Yep, that’s right… baby #4.  James & I always said we wanted 6 kids- I’m not sure if we’re still aiming for that goal. I’ll let you know in 6 months.  So, I’ve been away from the computer for a little while (since the beginning of August, really).  We took a trip to Washington, came home & I’ve been sick since. All the things I once loved (my computer, my camera, my coffee, scrapbooking) have become nauseating to me.  I picked up my camera today for the first time since August 10th! Can you believe that? Oh, I guess that’s not true- we took a few photos at church on Sunday- James’ parents came to visit for the week. Well, James is off with the kids at Awana and I’m supposed to be working. I’ll leave this post with a few more photos and no promise for another entry soon.

I know I’m partial, but don’t you think she is the cutest little girl ever?  She makes me smile all day long. Love that face!!
