I"m Back!

I survived the year. My youngest Cara is now one. She's such a delight. It was a crazy year but I survived it. Only through God's grace... having four kids all under the age of 6 is really hard. There were many times I felt like I was going to go crazy. But I survived it and I feel like I can breath a bit. Life is extremely busy but it's a good busy. I move with a purpose and I feel very blessed. It's funny how you just let certain things go and you accept what you think would put you in more bondage but it just sets you free. Free to do God's will... no matter how small it may seem to others ... I finally see that I am planting seeds, I am tending to plants that I hope and pray one day will be amazing, beautiful and most glorious plants.

My church had 30 days of morning prayer. I woke up every day except Sundays at 6 am and went to pray with other members of my church. I was so tired but I really was efficient. moving quickly and getting so much done. Now that it's over I've been meaning to run during that time before my kids wake up, but I have failed miserably. I feel so lazy and not motivated to do anything. Ugh! I must get out of this funk. I got loads of wash to do and I got loads of wash to fold and put away. I hate folding laundry and putting it away. If only, I could have a house maid...

Jonah still is not talking very much so I'm going to have to call Early intervention. I heard great things about this free service so, I'm going to call. I've been trying to put it off because I was just hoping my now he'd be talking up a storm. He's grunting and pointing. And he gets so frustrated when we can't understand him. I'm trying to patient and wait for him to sound things out but Emma feel so bad for him that she'll translate for him. he'll be saying stuff and I'll say I can't understand you...use your words. And he'll start crying out of frustration and Emma will come up and say, "mommy, he's saying.... this " I know, I would tell her I told her I just want him to use his words. And Emma said that it upsets him. She's such the protective sister.

I'll hope to document more things... so fun having 4 little ones...
