I’m Blessed

Sorry for the slowdown in posts lately.  I skipped a few last week.  I’m sure you’ve figured out that the lack of posting has to do with things I can’t post about (aka pictures of my secret project) and/or things getting incredibly busy around here.

I try not to be too busy to not do this part, though.  For this morning I am thankful for my new little nephew, Leif, born last week.  I can’t wait to hold him, although I think it will probably be some months.  I was blessed to celebrate birthdays with  my mother-in-law, and another niece and nephew this last weekend.  Family is good.

The main thing I’m thankful for is that my kids have been hanging in there with the craziness for the most part.  All the running around, and I think also related to some diaper rash, Solveig hasn’t been sleeping the best lately, thus I haven’t been sleeping the best lately.  Days have been really hard for me, and the older kids have really been helping out…most of the time.

I love finally making it to the stage of parenting where asking your child to do a chore is actually helpful.  For so many years they want to help, and there’s nothing they can do.

I’m blessed that even though my to-do list is busting at the seams, it’s all with stuff I love to do.  It doesn’t get much better than that.

If you want to share too, here’s the drill:
-Write a blog post about how God has blessed you.
-Put the link to that post below.
-Be sure to link back to this blog in your post.
-and/or leave a comment.  Comments are super cool too.
