It's been how long???
Whoa... It's been a while since I've blogged! Life has been a bit, shall we say... busy? We have moved twice in eight weeks with two kids. Downsizing is not for the faint of heart, that's for sure! When will I get through all of the boxes? I don't know!
But over the last several weeks, we have been getting settled. We really like our little house and it's starting to feel like home! I don't think we'll ever live in anything other than a ranch style house!
Last weekend, we went and took lunch to park and had some fun playing!
Joey loved going up the rickety, old slide!
Naomi had fun just running all over the place!

Let me introduce myself.
Hi, my name is Jeannie and I am a slacker! LOL
Well, really... what a winter and spring we had! Let me just say, our immune systems got really, really strong this
winter and spring! So, here I am again, I'll try to be better, I promise!
The most recent excitement we had was my little dude turned four! How in the heck did that happen?
And my little girl is a sassy, silly little thing! She just turned 18 months!
And the other news in my life... we are moving... in the middle of a packing frenzy!
More later... hopefully tomorrow... but we'll see!

We had a nice St. Patrick's Day! It was pretty laid back, though. Since we've been sick for the last week we really didn't do too much today. But, I had some shirts for the kids to wear and I thought they looked pretty darn cute! Of course, they were long sleeved shirts and today was 80 degrees! So, we wore the shirts for a bit in the morning and then changed to some cooler green outfits!

First, It's my anniversary! Preston and I have been married for 9 years! I can't wait to see what God has for us in the next year! He is working so hard in his business. I just keep praying that God will lead him in His way!
So, the last week has been a rough one on us. And honestly, the whole winter has been rough on us! Joey, Naomi and I have had a respiratory bug for the last week. There has been an ever constant sound of coughing and blowing noses. On top of that, Naomi is getting teeth. At least four at once. Poor baby, they look like they hurt so bad!
In the midst of the sickness, we did go to the Imagination Movers concert last weekend. I was right in the middle of feeling the worst, but I didn't want to miss seeing Joey see the "real" Imagination Movers. I wasn't going to miss that for the world! We had such a great time! Naomi was even dancing and clapping along!

Oh, what a fun day we had!
We have been watching the birds in our tree today! We have had all different kinds! Common visitors are black eyed juncos and sparrows. We see them daily. Today though, our feeder was very busy! We had a dove, chestnut sided warblers, house finches (both male and female) and red-winged blackbirds! So much fun! Joey loves the chestnut sided warblers because the back of them are black and white... he calls them "zebra birds".
But even more fun than birds... Naomi started really walking today! She's been taking a few steps here and there, but today, she decided she would walk all the way across the livingroom! So, here she is a few days away from 15 months and she's walking! And... there's more! Naomi got her seventh tooth! She has at least another 3 that are working their way through! Big times for little Naomi! To think... she used to be so little...
And now look at how cute she is!

I'm sitting here with the cutest sleeping little girl in my lap. She's teething and just wants to be close to me. I think I shall oblige. In these moments when she is super clingy, I just remember that she is only going to be this little once and she will grow up way too fast. It's moments like these that I am completely and totally aware that I am not the mom I thought I'd be. I'm a better mom than what I thought I'd be. I have learned to follow my instincts and not apologize for that. I didn't know what attachment parenting was until I was already doing it. Back in the day, I had an online friend that I thought was a little crazy in her parenting style... now I have proudly turned into her! More on my attachment parenting ways to come...
Now, more on my little Naomi... She is changing so much over the last couple weeks. She is picking up new words daily and is so close to walking! This is seriously one of my favorite stages! I absolutely love it!

"In the middle of my little mess, I forget how big I'm blessed." That's a line from Francesca Battistelli's song "This Is The Stuff". First of all, I love the song. It makes me smile when I hear it and sing along! And second, I love that line. It's probably my favorite in the song. I'm not feeling like I'm in the middle of a little mess, but oh, how we forget how big we're blessed! As I look at both of my kids as they nap today... *gasp* at the same time... I remember just how big I'm blessed. I'm so glad that God has seen fit to entrust these two little people to me! I read over Proverbs 31 today (I like to do that as a reminder from time to time) and it challenges me to be a better wife and mother.
A funny story from over the weekend. We were at the dinosaur museum and stopped in the gift shop on the way out. Joey and his cousins picked out these stretchy glow in the dark dinosaurs. Joey picked out a T-Rex. I asked him what he was going to name his T-Rex. He thought about it for a minute and said, "Rainbow." LOL A T-Rex name Rainbow! Such a tough name, huh?
