Life Changes

So I'm sick with a sinus infection and Baby O had to travel with me to CVS Minute Clinic this morning because Marcus had to sleep from working 3rd shift. I got there at 9:00, as soon as they opened, and was still 2nd in line. As I sat there, praying that my baby keeps on smiling and giggling at the sick girl beside us (while I was also praying that whatever she had wasn't too contagious...) I realized that my life has changed in so many ways. There are no more get up and go trips unless Owen approves, no more sleeping in until 9:00 am, no more going to bed at 9:00 pm, no more sit and chat dinners with my husband, no more clean house, no more time to just sit and read (unless he's asleep), no more far away vacation trips (at least for a little while)... BUT I have the sweetest, cutest, funniest little man in the whole wide world and I think that's a pretty good trade off!

Life Lesson #8: God always knows what he's doing, even when we don't understand!

You're Never Too Far Away!

   At work last week a fellow mommy was talking about how her daughter is learning to walk. Then, another teacher with older children said "It's only the beginning. It seems like from the moment their born they're trying to get away from you!"
  That comment made me think and I realized it's true! They learn how to roll away, crawl away, walk away, go out with friends to get away, go off to college away....and it made me a little more appreciative of the small moments Owen and I have together and I realized another life lesson...


Life Lesson #7: Never let your babies get too far away, no matter how hard they try (or how old they get)!
