Battles & Blessings

Battles:

  • Traveling with a 15-month-old.  Enough said.
  • Screaming tantrums preceding naps on Thursday.
  • Getting back into the swing of things, and trying to restore a schedule.
Blessings:

  • Spending a ton of time with family we don't get to see nearly often enough.
  • Having Patrick home almost all week.
  • Time to read.  Heaven.
  • Realizing just how well-behaved Dominic is, again.  He's awesome.
  • A 65 degree day in late December, resulting in an early morning thunderstorm the next day.  Love.
  • Having a son whose worst habit is a resistance to sleep.  Honestly, it could be worse on so many levels.  I just need to remember that.
  • Cookie monster backpacks to carry Miles' supplies - just when the diaper bag was starting to wear thin. (Pictures to follow.  Promise.)
  • Friends who know us well enough to invite themselves over on New Year's Eve.
  • Time to clean and organize.  One day soon, our house may be in order.
  • That babbling toddler who just woke up. :)
