Growing

Isaac will be 2 next month. For the first year and a half of his life he was not a great sleeper.He sleeps through the night now occasionally waking up once or twice but goes right back to sleep.But it never fails that he will wake at 545 every morning. So I get up with him give him a sip of something and sit with him in the chair only for him to go back to sleep. And if you try to lay him back down he wakes up crying.This is an every morning thing.I used to get so frustrated. But then my mindset changed. Now i gladly get up with him and hold him for another hour or so until he wakes up. I got to thinking he want always be this way. One day soon hes gonna sleep in his bed and get up on his own and come walking down the hallway all by himself. He will start playing and be too busy for me to just sit and hold him while he sleeps.So now I just take it all in and hold him while he sleeps.I remember the day that Ezra had slept in his big boy bed and he got up all by himself and I seen him walking down the hallway. It was one of those proud but sad moments.It want be like this for long. They grow up so fast. I love when they learn new things but its always tugs at my heart a little. Because learning new things means they are growing more independent. And independence means they don't need me as much. But I will always be their mommy and no matter how old they get they will always be my baby boys.My prayer is that in these tired frustrating and joyful moments I can imitate and teach Gods love to my boys.

Not alot going on

I haven't wrote in a while but i haven't had much to talk about.Just the same ole stuff. Boys keep me busy and on my toes. Ezra is going through a stage where he doesn't really want to mind. We have started a chore chart with him.For some reason Monday is the worst day for him. Its clean the toy room day. The first Monday he spent 3 hours in there and still didn't have it cleaned.You might think that's harsh but he just would not pick up anything. So after i had had all i could take i sent him to his room and cleaned it myself. Today was pretty much same way except Chris was home so he handled it for me. Ezra would rather have the punishment than clean the room. He has done great every other day of week with his chores. Theres just something about cleaning the toy room on Monday. So if anyone has any helpful advice id like to hear it.Ezra also just went to his first bama game with me and grandparents. He did really well.
Isaac has been doing great. As of  3 weeks ago he no longer takes a pacy. He has learned how to climb up and off couch all by himself. He is communicating a little more.He is a pretty happy boy for the most part.
Chris just got back from Maryland. He went up to work after Hurricane Irene.
I am currently still sore from my broke nose but alot better than i was a couple of weeks ago.
I broke it when we were in Nashville at backyard bible club. A couple of kids were hitting a bocce ball with a tennis racket and i got smacked right between the eyes. my knees buckled and i about passed out. I ended up with a concussion and broke nose. a few days later had to have surgery to straighten it out. There was a couple of days that i couldn't remember anything. Chris took great care of me.
That's the last month or so in a nutshell. We love summer but we are looking forward to cooler nights and college football.
