Fall has officially hit (well at least in my opinion), we had our first "snow" fall today, at least above 6000 feet did. We got a bit of wet snow, but nothing stuck. Hannah was so excited to see the "rain" coming down and she so badly wanted to go out and play in it, naked by the way. That girl and her naked time :) I love the changes of the seasons, it makes me so giddy and excited for the endless possible baking and cooking options. I don't tend to use the oven a lot in the summer time, as it heats up the house. But fall and winter, I could bake every night of the week. That is if I knew it would not wake the children directly above the kitchen. Luckily Hannah enjoys being in the kitchen with me, so when Felicity is taking a morning nap, we get our baking fix (usually something she can taste right after it comes out of the oven). Today however we made our first batch of homemade lentil soup, Hannah kept saying that she was so excited and loved lentils, she did not eat one single bite tonight though. I guess we will have to see if she likes it tomorrow.
The weather today made me want to go thru my closet and put away all the summer attire and put the warm fall clothes in their place, I got so excited for a whole "new" wardrobe, but alas the little ones needed me more, maybe I will be able to get to that tomorrow. I had both girls by myself for most of the day today and it was hard. I know what you must be saying, "you have them both everyday", and yes that is true, but I really do look forward to the weekends with Andrew and for the girls to spend time with him. He was so gracious and went and helped my brother Nathan with his kitchen remodel (Nate has helped us out a lot, so I know we owed him). I tend to get worked up over the weekends in hopes that we can get all the projects done that I was piling up over the week and as the time ticks by, I find myself annoyed and overwhelmed that we did not get anything done. Lord give me the patience to be still, to cherish this time, this free time I have with my husband and kids. I am tired so I think I will head to bed, Oh how I hope Felicity sleeps better tonight (I told myself that I would give her till Monday and if she was not sleeping better then we would try a different approach). She is just much further along that where Hannah was at 6 months, this one literally stand, that is right pulls herself up and stand, in her crib and yells until we come in the room. Oh how I yearn for the day she can learn to sit back down on her own.
I know I am doing a lot of complaining and venting, I was just telling Andrew tonight before he went to adoration, that I think if I knew these would be our only kids we would handle and address all of these thing differently I know I personally would cherish these moments more (or at least I hope I would). I pray that these are not our last and that we are just learning and gathering wisdom for the many more to come.
Good night sweet ones, rest well
Love Your Mom
