HOLY COW!!!! This is my second to last blog! I am feeling the emotion of being done now. Tomorrow is going to be hard! This was something I have looked forward to doing every day for a year. It doesn't mean I will stop doing it on paper, but this blog WILL be done tomorrow. No doing day 366 or something silly like that. I committed to a year and I am sticking to it, no more, no less.
Today was a long day with lots of activities, because Summer time needs to be busy or we get bored, then whiny, then no happy moments lol.
So we started off our morning going to the vet for miss Ginger. She has gained 5 pounds in 3 weeks! That's our girl! She is getting bigger everyday and it makes me sad that the puppy stage doesn't last very long. We still have so much to teach her and lots of love at this stage to give and pictures to take! It really does go by fast!
After the vet, I took the boys to our local water park. They had THE best time splashing, playing with friends, swimming, and smiling! They have both come such a long way in their swimming skills this summer and Connor was going UNDER the water crawling to a pool toy over and over! It freaked me out at times, but then he would pop his head up out of the water and smile a great big smile...melted my heart! While there, we played with my moms group friends and there were some people from church too. It is so nice to get to know people from church a bit more this summer! I am so thankful to be able to go up to people and know who they are and talk with them about life a little bit. Connor was getting tired after playing for an hour and a half so it was time to head home for naps.
When we got home, Connor went down for a nap and Joel went out to water the plants. He has become the best helper and more responsible this summer and I am so thankful for that! I can't believe in just a couple of weeks, he is going to be in first grade! He has grown so much and continues to amaze me with how smart he is!
Off to work I went today....I only worked for 30 minutes so I got to get home and spend some time with Ginger and David and the boys before I went to my MOPS mom's night out. The moms met up at a place nearby which was really nice because there was a quick drive there and a quick drive home! It was nice to see familiar faces and meet some new moms who are coming into MOPS this year. I can't wait until October and MOPS begins! I am so excited about being a table leader this year and leading the women in prayer and being there for the other moms. I hope to meet some more moms with boys my kid's age as well! Joel and Connor have so much fun playing with other boys (there are SO many girls in our neighborhood and they like playing with them, but boys just play differently!)
It was a great night out and I am so happy to come home and blog! Someone asked me tonight if the happy moments are going to stop because the happy moment blog will be over...for sure...NO! I am so grateful to have learned this past year how to stop and TRULY soak in the happy moments. I savor each one and save some of them for not so happy moment times that come. There have been days on this blog when the whole day was nothing but stress and exhaustion, but there were little slivers of moments that I thought, "ah hah! I will save this to post later on!" So good night dear readers. Until tomorrow and the end of a years journey and challenge!
