"Mommy - Somebody Needs You"

I found this moving blog post <http://yourbestnestindy.com/2014/02/27/mommy-somebody-needs-you> over the weekend and really enjoyed it. I am sharing it here so I can go back to it when I am feeling tired and frustrated. 

"God made me their mom. It is a position I yearned for long before I would ever understand it."

My duty, privilege, and honor.

Poor Tallulah.

My poor little bloggy. Two parents re-entering the home after a knee replacement and starting a new job can keep a gal busy. I have missed blogging so I'm catching you up with the reader's digest version of the last few weeks.

1. Mom and Dad are back home, Dad got the all-clear to drive (it is usually about a month or so after knee surgery), and his knee is looking pretty good. Phew.

2. I started a new job! And I really love, love, love the community. I am getting used to the day-to-day with a to-list that is already a mile long. I am thankful I have the experience from BU and NU or else I would be completely lost. 

3. Sam is as lovable and funny and amazing as always.

4. He is also OBSESSED with Gerber cereal bars and eats about three in a sitting. It is getting out of hand.

5. Seriously, out of hand. The other day for breakfast he ate 3 pancakes, 2 cereal bars, grapes, a breakfast pouch, some Chex, and then a fig newton.

6. We celebrated cousin Josie's baby shower this weekend - all that baby girl stuff got me wishing and dreaming! We are excited to welcome baby girl J at the end of this month.

7. I am SO happy February is done. I am ready for spring. For warmer temps. For no more SNOW.

8. With the warmer weather I am anxious to do some spring-cleaning and get a few more pieces to accent our home. I was just saying to G that I feel "settled" now, so let's go to Homegoods!


9. I love this print and have carried it with me over the past month. Hope and faith for the future.

There you are. Consider yourself caught up!
