It finally hit!

When I was pregnant with Sam I really didn't nest very much. I remember one weekend I really nested to get his room ready but outside of that it really never hit. Well he is 3 months old and with getting full nights sleep now I think it is hitting. We joked when I was pregnant that Trae nested more than me! Hey, at least one of us was doing it. Now if I can just figure out how to re-do ds2 room!!! It doesn't just need cleaned or organized it needs a makeover.

Spring

Spring has sprung! And as you can see so has our family. Everyone is growing and doing well. Sam is sleeping so well. What a blessing! He is usually sleeping about 10-11 hours a night without waking. The boys are both so good with him. We couldn't be more blessed. Both of the boys have a unique relationship with Sam that is so fun to watch. Sam delights so much in both of them too! He gives them the sweetest smiles daily. Ahhh, the things that warm a mothers heart.

Books

We love books! We are so glad to see that Sam is delighting in books too. He loved smiling at the animals in this book. He listens to many books that Jacob and I read during the day too.

Worry....

I wouldn't classify myself as a person who spends a lot of time worrying. Yet I have seen lately that I at times am struggling with fear. What if what is happening today overtakes me and goes on and I am ruined....those are some of the thoughts I have. I just listened to a message and he shared a quote that I am going to have to post in my home. I was reminded that I do indeed struggle with worry. I wish it weren't so but I tend to be a big picture person....and that often involves looking past today.

No man ever sank under the burdens of the day. It is when tomorrow's burden is added to the burden of today that the weight is more than a man can bear. George MacDonald

What a difference a few days make....

We found ourselves this week with a heart of gratitude. We are thankful to my mom for sooooo many reasons but this week we found ourselves thanking the good Lord for protecting her. Tuesday afternoon she had the sweetest nap with Sam and the bottom picture is her car on Friday afternoon after she was in a serious car accident. Praise God she is OK. She is sore and having to car shop however she had no serious injuries. My mom is a Godly women who blesses so many and is one of the most incredible women I know. I am so thankful the Lord is letting her stay for a while longer. Now go hug your mama and tell her how much you love her!

A yummy Fort Worth find!

My hubby travels many a hours driving during his day. He might be commuting back and forth to Dallas or traveling the streets of Fort Worth to meet with clients. We both have a fond for yummy finds and recently he brought these home. He is becoming know with his company for taking out of town personnel to great FW food finds. I am thankful he thinks of us and brings us something home sometimes. Sprinkles Cupcakes is our favorite Dallas cupcake shop but we are excited to have a great place closer to home too!

Finally.....

Life has been busy! As you can see Sam is growing! He turned 8 weeks this past week and we are all enjoying this blessing. We often call him sweet Sam! We are finding our new normal and enjoying this season. He is very loved and we have had so much fun with his sweet smiles that arrived a couple of weeks ago. The past few days he is starting to coo and be more verbal. We are trying to keep up with taking pictures. He sleeps better at night than he does during the day which is wonderful! However it does make very busy days especially while Jacob and I are still schooling. Sam will often extend his nap once he is in moms arms or the sling so that helps. As you can see all the brothers are bonding and finding that special spot in their heart for one another. Tis sweet!! I promise I will try and update more often.
