Life is really good. I look around me everyday and feel overwhelmingly blessed.
I have beautiful, happy, healthy, smarty, funny children.
I have a funny, handsome, good, hardworking husband.
I have a dog that's soooooo much better than the last one.
We have a beautiful home.
We live in a wonderful neighborhood.
I kind of love Oklahoma.
We love our Church and the friends we have made there.
The Lord has truly blessed me.....and I'm grateful.
Of course things aren't always roses and sunshine, and I hope I don't let off a false sense of perfection, because things certainly aren't perfect.
However I'm still grateful.
Paige is all of a sudden the funniest little toddler. She's talking more and more everyday and the things that come out of her mouth make me bust out laughing all day long. I love spending my days with her....now. If you had asked me a month or so ago about Paige I might have tried to give her away. She spent a solid 5 months being AWFUL. She screamed that high pitched-want to claw your ears out so you can't hear it anymore-scream all.day.long.
It was a hard 5 months.
But we seem to have turned a corner and left the she devil behind. Thank goodness.
Hallie is awesome. That's really all I can say.
I like hanging out with her!
If I was 7, I would want to be her friend.
She's kind, and funny, and smart, and thoughtful.
Chase is also awesome. He is super smart and really funny.
He started winking at me last week and it makes my day when he does it.
He's going to be a lady killer.
He's also the neatest little boy I've ever seen.
I watched him this morning after he got socks out of his top drawer, he noticed some of the drawers on his dresser weren't all the way closed. So he closed them all.
This might not seem like that big of a deal...unless you saw Hallie's dresser which looks like it has been ransacked. He makes his bed every morning (without being asked) and his bedroom is always spotless. I'm thinking there might be a little OCD there, but if it means a clean room....
I'm cool with it. :)
He's just a pleasure to have around.
Sometimes Paige gets outside naked. She's got such a cute naked bum and gigantic belly button, I can't bring myself to clothe her. She's going to hate this picture when she grows up. :)
I guess after living in Germany I feel like my blog is going to always seem boring compared to the adventures of the past 4 years. I'm so so happy though, and I'll keep blogging the day to day.
In other news:
Matt came home last week and told me that he is pretty much going to be gone for the next 8 out of 12 months. Blurg.
I start crying when I think about it too much.
He's looking at a 6 month deployment coming up and a 2 month training before that.
THIS is the part of the military that's lame.
Although we have managed to dodge the long deployment bullet for the past 6 years.
I guess it's our turn.
To make me feel better you can all send me packages during his deployment to perk me up.
Isn't that a good idea?
I like chocolate.
