BREEZY FIELDS

This was a title I embraced proudly for many years. Now I rarely do, but I really wish I could. God knows our strengths and weaknesses and how to make us grow. Hopefully I am doing the right amount of growing because I don't think I can take on any more. But... when I wrote that title I was referring to the blog and my little family history and how I have been cheating and just posting pictures. I know that I need to write it down because I will be sad later. First, Sadie rescued my cell phone. I was sitting in the living room, nursing Sawyer and Sadie came to me carrying our big flashlight. She announced that she was going to go get my cell phone. I knew she was looking for an excuse to play with the flashlight since "it is not a toy, it needs to have batteries that work when we really need it." But I told her to go ahead. Not thirty seconds later she was back with my phone, no, I don't know how. As Michael says "Sadie Rocks." She really does. ...

Today I had a day filled with a million errands to do. Everything that has been put off while I got the house put together and then while I was in Germany. So... I am relieved to say that today I made it home in time to pick up Ellyn from the bus (I followed it up the hill to our house) and I got Sadie dropped off at ballet with one mile left in my gas tank (according to my computer). I made it to the gas station 2 miles away on zero miles of gas. Did I enjoy any of this- no. It made for one uptight and cranky mama. I'll tell you what makes me happy- Sadie singing songs from Oklahoma at the top of her lungs. Sawyer wobbling down the hall, having escaped from the office I was sitting in this morning, looking back and laughing and never falling. Ellyn's bangs finally being long enough to fit into her piggy buns. The very cute outfit that Jane picked out for herself all on her own this morning (no fashion consult from mom). Seeing Mike's phone number pop up on my caller...

Ellyn Embracing Hay Our Booty

Sorry, we have been so busy. I have not had time to blog at all. I do read them though. Life is going well. Yesterday we went the aquarium and then went to Bubba Gumps. On Monday we went to the pool and if you know how Ellyn is in water it was nice to see her so happy. Mom I do not know if are reading this while you are in Germany but you can read it when you get back. I love you so much. You are patient and loving and you really handle things well. I love you. have fun with dad. Dad I love you too. I miss you both so much. Love, Jane P.S. I love you
