Only 15 more years...

Gabe will be 3 on Thursday.  I only get 18 years with him...and 3 are over.  Makes me want to step up my mommying.

And Ell is 10 months:  crawling, saying "uh oh" "dada" "mama" and once he said "thank you".  He nods his head and has clapped his hands a couple of times.  It's going too fast!

Busy Holiday season in full swing,  3 Thanksgivings last weekend, Gabe's party last night, probably celebrating with my family this weekend, church programs, then celebrating my birthday and Christmas with Jacob's families.  A little thing we like to call the "divorce shuffle".  We love being with all of our families...the best thing.

Life is so good.  I am so blessed.  The Lord is everywhere, loving us and showing us that He's watching and listening and he cares so much about us.  Do you know Him?  Do you know how much He loves you?

Today I am a music teacher again.  We are watching a movie...anticlimactic.  But it's still so fun to be around the kids...Jr high is awesome.

Heading to see mom this weekend.  Should be a beautiful drive and I always look forward to the company.  8 uninterrupted hours each way with my best friend and handsome husband.  The leaves are turning for fall...it will be beautiful!  Hopefully we'll hike on Saturday.

I also love showing off my kids.  Mom hasn't seen them since June.  And I think they are super cute.  FUN Weekend!

Our house showed this morning.  Praying...

The Older Man

Jake turned 30.  We had a super date...eating out kid free in Manhattan.  I think we look pretty good for 30.  I mean...I'm not 30 yet.  But he is!

Summer Rocks!
