Ten on Tuesday

We have had quite the week here at our house.  I don't know about you, but my kids are constantly going through cycles of testing the limits and last week was one of those weeks.  That on top of Carson catching a stomach bug made for lots of fun. :)   

So many times I can get caught up in the daily trials of my life, but when I really stop to think about all that God has done for me and blessed me with it makes everything else not quite so important.  It is so true when they say that the days are long, but the years are short.  The next thing you know you will blink and another year has passed.

So in no particular order, here are a few things that have filled our days and brought us joy (well, maybe not #9). :)

1. Connor finished his first month at speech and is doing so well!  It is amazing how fast we are seeing changes in his articulation.  We love his therapist, especially when she tells us that it wont be too much longer and he will be good to go!

2.  Preschool is "totally awesome and fun" according to Connor.  It is even better when you get to end the day with happy hour at Sonic.

3.  September Birthday Girls-  Aunt Rachel and Nana both had a birthday on the 7th!  The boys made a trip up to Nana's school to wish her a Happy Birthday.  

4.  Elmo is #1 around here.  We love Elmo stuffed animals, Elmo games, Elmo books, Elmo movies...you get the picture. :)    

5. Proud of my man who was ordained as a deacon at our church this past Sunday.  It was a very special night.  

6. Morning walks usually end in trips to the park.  Love getting some time with Carson by himself while Connor is at school.  It is amazing how much he has to say when "brother" is not around.

7.  Soccer has officially started back up.  There is my little Dragon in the bright orange jersey.  That may have been the closest to the ball he was all game, but boy did he have fun out there!  As far as Connor is concerned, soccer is about running around on a field with all your friends while flashing big smiles and waving to all your admirers on the sidelines.  

8. Look who is the proud new owner of a library card!  Much to his disappointment it does not double as a debit card to "buy all the games I want at the App store."

9. Cole and I have just finished our first week of Insanity.  It is a 60 day work out program and after the first few sessions I quickly realized that the title is very fitting. :)  

10. MOPS started up this past week and we had the best time.  I love this group of ladies! What a blessing they have been to me.  For all you moms of preschoolers out there you should definitely find a local group near you and get plugged in.  You wont regret it!
