6 months already....how time flies.

Lj turned 6 months old on Wed or this week and I'm floored that this little milestone has already arrived. I still remember being mildy upset when I couldn't try to conceive him in a particular month due to Joe and I having the flu or even taking 7 (yes 7) tests to learn that he was there. Joe saw the "line" around the 5th test but I wasn't sure till the 7th.

Yesterday Jack told me "Mom, I need some peace and quiet" and also said "Mom, shh baby Lj is sleeping" He's soo darn funny. He's also soo very sweet with his brother. He heard Lj squeaking the other day and said "it's ok baby, I'm here" then promptly bent down and kissed him. I just smiled and told Jack what a GREAT big brother he is. I was just so proud.

Joe is having a bad morning today. He is overworked and under appreciated. It's hard for me because Joe is usually the positive one of our house and it's sad to see him so defeated. He's doing well but he's very stressed and tired. I wrongly thought we had a sitter for this weekend and we were both soo looking forward to the time but thankfully will only have to wait a week to actually have that time. I hope to take time and let him know that he's the best part of our lives, the one who keeps us laughing and the best father for my kids that I could have ever asked God for.


Life itself has been very full and busy. Between the new job which I like mostly.... the new schedule and Jack's new "school", life is very full at this moment. I have been nominated for our churches Parrish council and am considering accepting the offer.... although it would mean more time away from Joe & the kids, I feel like I need to really give it some thought before I respond as I want to make the right choice for me.
