Life Lately

I feel like I go through blog spurts....I am actually proud of myself for not consuming all of my time on the computer. However, I wish I could say it was because of better things, but darn it! I've just been to lazy and tired :)  Actually, I've been crocheting a lot. A LOT. I've just launched my own little "mini business" called Baboo Baby. You can find me on Etsy and I have a FB page www.facebook.com/baboobaby. I have just recently noticed there is another Baboo Baby on FB (don't know why they let me create the page if the name was already taken) and I am the page with the yellow sign :) NOT the home and garden page! I have also been reading like crazy about different discipline techniques using the Bible so that has been a new interest. I've finally realized that I needed some Christian guidance so these books have helped reference a LOT in the Bible that I've always wondered how to preach it to my kids. I felt at the end of the ropes with Miss WC....this last book is called Don't Make Me Count to Three and it's wonderful. It actually gives examples of how to discipline your kids using scripture. So far, it's effective. Now I just kind of feel overwhelmed. Thankfully, I'm not supposed to be perfect and I have been given a lot of grace!

 

 

Check it out! Totally worth the money! All nine dollars of it :)

Chris has started a new position at his work. He's the new Executive Officer for the Commander. Which means long hours but at least he's keeping busy! Chris has also been a rockstar at physical therapy! He told me last week he was able to shoot some hoops with his therapist. Which hasn't happened in almost 2 years. Huge accomplishment! 

We've launched a new small group within our church with another family that meets at our house on Sunday nights, so we've been busy praying and planning for that. This is an exciting thing because our other small group wasn't so small anymore. We miss all of our friends from the other small group, but we're looking forward to what God will be doing with this group!

WC is keeping busy with playdates, Mother's Day Out, and Gymnastics. She is such a social butterfly. Just the other day I asked why she was cleaning and she told me, "I'm cleaning for my friends come ober (over). To play...". This was news to me. I hadn't invited anyone! Ha! She is always surprising Chris and me with silly sayings and she repeats everything we say...She loves to call me dude which is kind of funny now, but it's on the line of being disrespectful. Chris and I are learning about boundaries with WC and what to let her do because everything is a challenge. We are starting to reap what we sow with her though.....lately she's been using her manners without being prompted. It's just taken so darn long!

Natalie is just happy being Natalie :) She loves to play and any kind of social interaction. She loves dogs and little babies (I think she forgets she is one!) and everything that sister does is HILARIOUS. She's going to be walking soon.....she is cruising from one piece of furniture to the next! Nat's a great eater too. She eats with such force that I have to really keep an eye on her. Everything just tastes so good! Which I can relate too.....

All in all, everything is great :) I am so blessed!
