Heavenly Peace

It was short-lived. I’m worn out, but we made it through the day, as we always do.  I just wish I could learn the skills to keep things more level all the time instead of these little valleys surprising me occasionally. 

To help me not feel so bad about complaining about my girls, who I AM aware are really not very high on the challenging scale of toddlers in the real world, I thought I’d show off some of their more peaceful moments lately. 

6/29 Naptime

Love those little fingers in the blanket. Braska used to do the same thing.


7/4 Naptime.  Kinlee seemed to enjoy having the puppy on her head. 


Later on 7/4… Miss K in Mommy’s shades.


7/6 Naptime. (And yes, our headboard is a mattress.)

Sleep tight, my little beauties.

(And if you didn’t see the fun little videos of sisterly interaction on Braska’s blog, go check those out, too.  It’s fun to watch them learn to play together.)

  1. Nothing sweeter than watching them sleep:o) And I have to say, it tickles me to see Miss Kinlee all snuggled up with those soft blankies. Mom to Mom, we all have those days, and I think we are entitled to recognizing the difficulty of them, it makes us better mothers. It may not be the most difficult thing that anyone has ever experienced but it's what we are going through that day and that's worth something. I believe it is one of the many ways that God uses our children to teach us about His love. He loves us more perfectly and more unconditionally than we love our own kids and yet there are still days that we pain Him with our sin. You wouldn't have a day like this if you didn't love them so much!

Oh happy day, Less question mark!

As a follow up to yesterday's post, I got word today that we will NOT be assigned to the new guy, but we will have an experienced coordinator after all. I feel SO much better. I also learned some other info today that made me think I still have some kinks to work out, so I'll be taking care of that this next week. I'll be SO glad when this transition/IEP stuff is behind us. I want to do the very best I can, but there's part of me who wants to just hide and let it all happen without me.

31 for 21: What to say

I have encountered plenty of people who ask "How old is she?" when Braska and I are out together here and there. They always guess her age about 5 months younger than she is, but that's ok, since that's what size she is. I have said several times that I can imagine it will bother me a bit more, although still not a huge deal, when she turns one next month and I see their reaction to that, as she still is in her car seat/carrier when we're in a restaurant or in a store since she doesn't sit up. Today, I met some friends for brunch. The waitress was a nice enough, very young girl, and she started cooing at Braska right away. That's nice. I don't mind, Braska likes the attention, and I'm proud of my cutie. The waitress asked her age, and I told her 11 months. She then said, "But she's not walking yet?" as she noticed that she was up to the table in her car seat/carrier. I just agreed and said, "Not yet." She said she h

Was there a line??

I assume that you went to vote, either today or earlier if possible. I expect that of you, know that straight up. How long did you wait in line?? And throw in the state you voted in, just for fun. I'm really curious if all areas have a big wait or if it's just the more congested ones. I voted Friday absentee/in person, and we waited about 15 mins or so. It moved VERY fast for a big line. There's just one place in our very populated county to do the absentee/in person voting, and it wasn't bad at all for what I thought it might be. If you haven't, GO VOTE people... again, please just know what you're voting for, either way. You may just have to live with your choice. God Bless America!!
