i am beyond sleep deprived at this point. it's quite possible i might fall asleep writing this. this has been an incredible whirlwind of a weekend! i had six photo sessions in three days! yes, can you believe that many people trusted me to take their photos? so awesome. i'm thankful for all of my clients. but i know this can take a toll on my husband who allows me to follow this passion of mine. the women in my small group met tonight for dinner and i knew if i asked mark to watch the kids for a couple more hours that he might reach his breaking point. so they welcomed blake to the girl's dinner. i'm thankful for the support and encouragement of these godly women in my life. of course he fussed, which he rarely does. we make it home and he is all smiles. i think he missed me too this weekend. i lay him on the changing table and after i'm done changing him i get in his face. he loves when you just look at him and smile. so, we were playing and his hands were flailing around like a baby and he hit be in the face. i said whack (in an obnoxious baby voice i'm sure) and he laughed. he laughed for the first time. second best sound i've ever heard him make (after his first cry of course when he came out. oh there is nothing like the sound of a baby crying for the first time). i'm thankful for my happy kids and laughter that fills our house daily. so, avery and blake are ready for bed lying in their sleep sacks playing and avery is laughing because blake keeps touching her. again, flailing his arms around and grabbing her hair. i rock blake and mark and i tag team and swap kids. i lay in bed with avery and we say our prayers. her goes something like this. God is good. thank you for my own fork, thank you for own spoon, thank you for own broccoli, thank you for own pizza, amen." i'm thankful God loves avery more than i do. and i'm thankful to be called mom by my cute kids!
