Thankful Thursday #95

I'm thankful for these 20 photos. 
These are the best of about 75 taken. For Mother's Day Portrait Innovations ran a special where for less than $10 I got a CD of the photos, plus about 40 prints and a mug. It was such a deal.























What are you thankful for this week?

Mothers Day 2012


from the first kick inside my belly with baby number one

to the current kicks of baby number four

none of this gets old

good, bad, clean, dirty, quiet, loud, easy, hard

all these moments

fill my heart and time like no other occupation or calling could

i am thankful for the gift of motherhood


a few of the outtakes
the winner [just pretend Moses is smiling]
Nation's card from church [4 spin questions]
Solomon's card from church
the kids half of the card [questions and answers with Charles and kids]
flowers from Charles

YMCA Soccer Thus Far...


I realize this is a post for like...maybe my kids grandparents, but even a soccer post is sure to make you giggle a bit. Solomon [3 almost 4] got recruited to Nation's 5/6 year old team one night at practice. Which made our life easier so we don't have to do two practices and two games. Solomon is the youngest, but he's having fun and it's great to watch them play together. They are number 4 & 5. 

Solomon seems to also take on the role of cheerleader [or karate, we can't figure out] while on the field. He's a great goal keeper, and Nation spends the entire 60 minutes chasing the ball and drinking gallons of water in the heat. They're amazing. I could no be more proud of my boys doing their best on for sure the most underdog team on the YMCA youth league right now!

Charles has been assistant coaching every game, and Moses has been happily watching with my from the sidelines.

When Seasons Change


When Seasons Change...

...I'm somewhere in between ready for the last season to be over and "can't wait" for the next season all the while knowing that before I know it...I'll be feeling just the same way about this season as I was the last---ready for the next.

I was born and raised in Texas, which has...basically...one season. Hot. Okay, two seasons, Hot & Humid. Neither which work well with naturally curly frizzy hair. Moving to Georgia my sophomore year in high school was the best thing that ever happen to the locks attached to my head. They throughly enjoy those few months between summer and spring to hold those hot roller-curls and soak up the compliments like bounty paper towels.

Being in Ohio, we did enjoy the snow, but the cold there [and here] I'm over. It's mid May and my heater has been on this week? I'm ready for the warm. Ready to break out the capri's and skirts and rock the Rainbowsir.gif till November, or December. As for my hair, well, it will mainly stay in a pony tail.

As for other season in my life. The season of packing, unpacking, moving, packing, unpacking, traveling, looking to move, packing, moving, unpacking---is---hopefully over. We've been here in our new house for two weeks and I'm looking forward to the next season of---no boxes.

Another season I've been thinking about is, baby bump time. Normally around the time my baby is a year, I get pregnant, and I'd love to be pregnant like...yesterday, but am trying to faithfully finish Weight Watchers. I'm growing tired of this season of no baby in my belly, but looking forward to it maybe this Fall. But then again, looking around at all these boxes [and my pregnant friends] I'm maybe still thankful for that heater on, maybe I'm not quite ready to be lugging that huge belly around up and down these stairs. But maybe I am.

You forget how much work it is!

Seasons, they are a funny thing. They encompass that "grass is greener on the other side" more than anything else in life.
