Grateful for the end of a phase.

So my mom used to say (about going through something hard) that

most things don't last forever.

She is right.

But they sure seem to last a really long time.

I am feeling so much better. Not quite myself, but I can get out of bed

and do laundry and dishes and play with my kids.

I feel like it's too good to be true.

And today I went to all 3 hrs of church. (ok, I came home in between and ate.)

But it was a big accomplishment for me.

And it felt oh so good to be there.

We also found out on Friday that we are having another BOY!

You saw that right. That three letter B word!

To say I wasn't slightly disappointed would be a lie.

But it feels right and good and I am really excited!

There is something about knowing the gender that changes the realness of it for me.

So..... enough monologue.

I am going to do some catch up with pictures.

Easton turns 4 Super Hero style!

Aren't they cute?

The cake.

Opening gifts.

When Aunt Callie was here she face painted!

They LOVED it!
