I started a womens community bible study on Thursday mornings! I love it! This past week, i learned to begin writing down spritiual thoughts each day, whether they make sense or not! Eventually, they will begin to come together. I realized i write a lot of thoughts down in this blog....which is a huge source of therapy for me... But i dont always write down spiritual thoughts. I plan to challenge myself to keep track of my spiritual thoughts and moments that I witness Gods presence in my daily life. Also, we started a new study at church called The Story! It's a condensed review of the entire bible in chronological order! I am learning so much! We are still in the second chapter, reading about Genesis! I can relate a lot of my problems with pregnancy to Abraham and Sarah. Then, Issac went on to have twins, Esau and Ishmael. (father abraham has many sons...) Anyway, I am not becoming an expert by any means, just learning more about God's word and building on a foundation.

ahhh...new schedule
As I type, I have two little kiddos crawling (Ella) and rolling (Jake) all around me on the floor. Ella is very interested in the laptop and pushing buttons. Jake is more interested in my undivided attention, as he says "ah goooo" and bats his BIG eyes at me...both are developing their own CUTE personality and language! They know how to get what they want...which is ME! The great thing is they are becoming more interested in each other and toys like the exersaucer (just got 2 more to keep them stationary, btw.) :) I can usually find a way to distract them, for short periods of time. OUr favorite thing to do is anything OUTSIDE like walk, swing, soccer practice, etc.
The past two weeks have flown by...but I think we are getting the hang of the school schedule. It is obvious to me, and everyone around me....I need more help. Somedays, Luke does not get home until 7 or later so it makes my evenings CRAZY! I am trying to find more help. ;)
Let me try to summarize past two weeks. Hannah loves school, she has made sweet new friends. She started ballet/tap and soccer. She gets so excited about both! First soccer game is sept. 17th. Luke had 2 tests run for stomach issues...all is clear, perfect health! Stomach pain was just from an infection that is GONE! Ella had ear infection and got shot. Last week, Ella was not feeling better and Jake felt bad too so we went back to dr for another shot and flu shot! I think we are ALL on the mend! Last week was rough! Over the weekend, we worked around the house, in and out, and we went to canton. This week, I went to Hannahs school to do her family project. I talked to her class all about "Hannah" and showed pics of brother and sis, rockport, her hobbies, etc. (All parents in the class will have their turn). I also had lunch with Hannah on Tuesday! Thursday, I started community bible study. Both babies are able to go with me every week! I think it will be awesome for all of us.
Starting on Saturday, both babies slept all night! We have done really well this week too! I guess I can be thankful for the strict schedule we keep.
THE schedule
6:30 all awake and bottles; Hannah gets dressed slowly, (we pick out clothes the night before)
Fix Hannah hair, etc. Babies play on pallet.
7:30 Hannah and babies bfast (oatmeal, fruit) then Hannah to school
8:00 playtime, walk
Nap time for both babies
9:30 all awake and we run errands....yes grocery store, etc with both babies. They love going!
10:30 bottle
12:00 lunch (2 veggies)
1:00 nap
2:00 bottle,
3:00 pick up Hannah
3:30 homework, playtime
5:00 bottle
Play outside walk, swing, get dinner ready
6:30 dinner FOR ALL
7:00 bath
8:00 babies in bed then Hannah to bed
Do we get off the 'schedule' very much? No not really! Do we go out to dinner, friends house, etc ? Yes, we do, but we stay on schedule! I may bathe the babies early, but they will have their bottles and fall asleep in their carseats if we are at dinner or a friend's house.It works! Do we get babysitters?yes!! Not a lot but sometimes! We love our Lucy, Brittany, and Lupe. :0)
I feel incredibly blessed that I am able to care for these kiddos each and every day! For this, I am thankful! They light up my world!
