Today a season of my life ends-
and a new season will begin-

For the past year and ten months I've watched a little boy named Brody. I started watching him when he was only two months old, and Ezra was four months old. Today is his last day here. A house with two little boys has definitely had its ups and downs. - regardless- I know Ezra and I will miss that little guy.



Brody's Mom decided it was time for him to venture on to a full on daycare, since I'm taking time off in August with my in-laws coming, and I've got the baby on the way and will need time off then. I was shocked, fearful and worried. All things God does not want us to feel.. but hey, I'm being honest here. I knew when the baby came I didn't want to work full time ... but this was her choice, not mine... and It was scary knowing I wouldn't have my income.

But a new season begins-

God is good and I trust him. I realized my JOB didn't end- my ASSIGNMENT ended . God just has a NEW ASSIGNMENT for me. I had lots of encouragement from my family and friends. Thank God for them! I've got something lined up that I'm pretty excited about. Starting next week I'll be watching children at a local church here.. it's super part time .. like 6 hours a week.. but I'll get to bring my kids and let them socialize with other children, and I'll get to be around other adults. Yay! I know God still has something else for me out there too. I'm trusting him even though I have tons and tons of emotions going through me right now as I'm in a season of transition!

my little artist

This week Ezra did his 1st painting.
He loved it- and concentrated very hard the entire time.





I think his hard work paid off!


(I know I know.. all of the pictures are practically the same. But he's just.so.cute.)

baby baby baby

I found this great swing on Craigslist for only $35.
I'm on the hunt for some other items still-
but waiting until I find something I love at a great price!


Speaking of the baby- I have a cantaloupe sized child growing inside me!

Can you tell?

Just a cute little collage of pictures I took probably close to a year ago!
Just thought I'd share. Have a great Saturday.

What's goin' on?!

* I'm super excited because my Aunt Elaine is beginning to make the baby a quilt! She's making it to match the cowboy room which the boys will share .. and she's even making big brother Ez his very own. Yay! Can't wait to see them!!

* I'm working on opening an etsy shop. Hope to have it ready sometime next week.


* Ezra's been being pretty cute and wanting to play with me and love on me lots more than usual. Guess he knew I needed it!


* I've got lots of sewing projects to do. LOTS. Problem is.. I haven't the SLIGHTEST clue how to sew. SEWWWW I'm going to be calling on my Mama! I'm going to be making curtains.. probably 3 panels.. and then I'm going to take crib bedding I bought and make it magically become bassinet size. SEWWW EXCITING! Haha.. sorry.. gotta do it! It's SEW tempting! ;)

A two year old and a dinosaur

So.. my son is two. Enough said?! Recent days around here have been a bit more work then fun. So I took this little conversation my son had with his toy dinosaur as a little tiny treasure in my crazy day.

Ezra- "What doin' dino?"
Dino- silence
Ezra- "Good? Doin' good? Bein' good?"
Dino- silence
Ezra- "Good."
