So many posts are written in my head but they just dont seem to end up here. I wanted to write a big Christmas post. I wanted to write a post about my sweet baby's half-birthday. I wanted to write a day-in-our-homeschool post. None of these have made it out of my head and onto the keyboard. Such is life.
And life is good. It is busy and happy and crazy and wonderful. The boys are growing up so fast. Aiden is 6 months old and I get a lump in my throat thinking about how fast these sweet baby days pass by.
The little boys (this is how I refer to Nate, Cam, & Ben) seem so grown up to me now. It seemed like our life was totally consumed by the logistics of having 3 children 11 months apart. It simply dictated everything about how we planned our days, where we went, how we decorated our home- just everything. We would gert frustrated when family expected too much of us or mae rude comments b/c they just didnt "know what this is like. Bust Shane and I have both talked lately about how those days seemed to have passed us by. A huge part of our family life is gone in the blink of an eye. Sure we still have 5 children, but we dont have three babies or three toddlers anymore. It's bittersweet.
Brendan is doing so well at home. He is learning and thriving and it is such a blessing to be able to shape his character everyday. Shane has been making sure to study Scripture with him daily again (we had just gotten 'too busy for too long') and we are seeing glimpses of the little boy who hungered for the Word and loved to highlight his Bible like a grown up.
Yes, life is good.
