Music for my Soul
Music transcends through every day barriers. Language has no hold on the melodic rhythm that speaks to tongues of all languages. I love seeing my little one so involved in the art that moves all souls.

Take Your Time
The holidays are a joyous time of the year for my household. We get to spend time together decorating the home for the season and we enjoy each others company. The only thing that makes me sad about the holidays is that there seems to be a hustle and bustle about the season and if we are not careful the new year arrives and we are tired from the nonstop 6 weeks we just went through.
As the year comes to an and I reflect back at the year as a whole. I feel so blessed. My Lord and Savior Jesus Christ has been beyond giving to my family this year.
Johnathan is double digits. I cannot believe how fast time has gone by. He is independent and loving. Yes, he is also tough and stubborn, but that is only a battle at home. I hope he continues to question and explore. He will be influential if he uses the gifts the Lord has given him. I pray for guidance and inspiration. I know God will use Johnathan greatly for His works.
My baby Noah. He has been making me sad lately! What gives him the right to just grow up? Yesterday he sat up in the tub for his bath. He also straightened his legs in the walker and moved half an inch. This morning he scooted himself all the way to Kevin in the living room and escaped from his Bumbo seat. Why!? Why can't you stay a baby, Noah?
Can someone please tell my boys to slow down? Please take your time to grow up! While they flourish in heapfuls, I will stop myself in the hustle and bustle of the season and just enjoy them.

6 months and Christmas Pictures
I cannot believe how much my little one has grown these past few months. In four days he will turn 7 months old! Time waits for no one...sigh. Well my little busy body is the nosiest of my two kiddos. He wants to be in everyone's business and does not mind prolonging a feeding to sit up and listen to others speak. I think I have an early talker again; wish me luck!
Just last week he started to put weight on his knees. Noah is getting on all fours, and although he is not crawling yet he is doing the Army crawl to get around and he definitely has rolling around perfected. At the start of Noah's 6th month we started to introduce solids during dinner time. So far we have tried rice and oatmeal cereal, avocado, sweet potato, sweet peas, and apples. We are working on the solids but Noah enjoys his milk better than his solids; we are eating about 4 baby spoons worth of food before he clams up and refuses another bite.
On the fourth of December Noah finally found out how great his feet are for chewing and has kept himself busy soaking up pairs and pairs of socks. Also, those wonderful hands of his have helped him rattle his toys, pull up his blanket, and hold a sippy cup to drink water and freshly juiced apples! We are just thriving and he is doing so much on his own, but I will stop my list here!
I took these picture this morning to get half of my kiddos ready completed for our Christmas cards. Babies march to their own beat and taking pictures can be tasking! Well these are some of the shots; now I have to chose one. Can I send collages out this year? Oh boy...

Four days shy of four months.
So much time has past since my last blog. I have been back and forth with posting and have had a struggle with the idea of sharing with everyone. I guess I have really enjoyed the time I am spending with Noah and although I know someone out there would really like an update, I just wanted to be selfish.
Noah will turn 4 months soon. I just cannot express how sad I am that time is passing quickly by with no remorse on who it leaves behind. It feels like it was just yesterday that we brought him home from the hospital. He was little and fragile. Now he is learning about the world around him and flourishing everyday. Just the last 3 days has been an adventure for him. He has learned to roll over from his back to his stomach and he spends all day perfecting his new skill. His hands are amazing to him, he has discovered them and now swats at his toys, grabs everything close to him with a death grip, and chews on them with no end in sight. He coos and attempts to reply when spoken to. He looks attentively at the movement and the mechanics of the mouth when someone is speaking to him. It is as if he would utter the exact same words if he could. I love watching him grow and learn.
My handsome Johnathan has begun the new school year on a high note. He has been chosen as the classroom ambassador, student counsel representative, and his classroom go to tech person. He is really excited about all his roles and I am happy that he wants to be involved in his school and wants to help other students succeed in the classroom. I am honored to have such a proactive child to call my own. His test scores from last year's standardized testing have returned and Johnathan has scored exceptionally well. He will recognized at an awards banquet later this month. I am proud of him and all his accomplishments!
As for me. I have been tired and dragging to find my footing. I have spent just about the last 5 years running nonstop. I was determined to get a college degree and be an active parent in my son's school life. I juggled many hats and for those that know me, understand that just making it is not my normal attitude. I couldn't just make it, I wanted to apply all my efforts to reap as much academic achievement has possible. I ran myself to the ground. I am tired. Exhausted.
But I am also extremely glad how everything worked out.
