I am still baffled at how fast each day passes and how I can have a million things I want to accomplish, but only one or two get crossed off the list. I am very easily distracted and sometimes discouraged by the amount of things I want to do. I have great ideas and plans in my head and see only a few of them finished through. I want so desperately to blog consistently and keep track of what we are doing, but if I don't post daily, I get behind and then things change faster than I can keep up with and I seem to give up. With that said, our lives have slowed down a little bit again and maybe I can get back to this blog and record the times of our lives:)
The last 3 1/2 months had gone by slowly at first and then somehow they zoomed by. Tony was let go from his job, which resulted in me trying to work more until he found a new job. I didn't realize how much we enjoyed having so much time together, until it was time for him to go back to work Monday. I knew he would get a job eventually, but waiting for the unknown to happen seems to be endless and then all of the sudden it isn't.
I am so grateful for the time we had to ride bikes, go to the library, watch movies, stay up late, and sleep in. It was a blessing in disguise as others told us it would be. I hope that I might be able to remember how important it is to enjoy and appreciate today for what it is and not to dwell on the things that are difficult or challenging. Our summer has been filled with much joy and we must celebrate!

September 2010
September will forever be a busy month, and I am going to have to come to terms with that! Just a few days after we got home from the hospital was Tony's 29th birthday. I wasn't up to planning much, but did try to make it a special day for him. My Aunt Tessie had stayed with us for a few days to help out with the boys and suggested we go take family photos as a gift from her. I was excited and we got some really great photos of our family and the boys, but it wasn't Tony's favorite part of the day. He did, however, get an iPod touch, a delicious turtle ice cream cake, and a pizza dinner with his dad at our house.
Sawyer's 2nd birthday was the middle of September, so I thought we could kill two birds with one stone and have Dawsen's blessing and the birthday party on the same day to accommodate those who might be traveling. My mom & little brother came up to help with the preparations. The blessing went well. (Thanks to all the family & friends who came!) As did S.J.'s birthday party. He loved his "cake" and had no interest in anything but toys in the presents he was given. He got lots of clothes (thank goodness), but would simply throw them out of the way to get to the toys. It was hilarious!
Here are some photos of September.
