Playing Catch Up!
Hmmm, it seems it has been a while since I last posted. I was so sure I would be able to keep up with the blog, my business and being a mom to two young ones and wife to one darling husband! I guess I was wrong.
I thought I would just give a little update about my life in the past few weeks:
* My kids and I met Connie and her children at the Ogden Nature Center and had a blast. Connie wrote a fabulous post about our little journey through the woods. She is also quite the photographer and snapped this one of me and my little ones…..
One of my favorites ever! What a grand and spectacular world we live in!
* My kids seem to be growing so quickly. It’s almost like they wake up one morning and have grown three inches, learned new words and have acquired new skills instantly! They amaze me to no end! It’s so wonderful to see them loving each other and learning from each other.
*My husband is an avid runner and has entered the Bear Lake Marathon which is only about 2 weeks away. This will be his second marathon and I’m so excited for him. He works so hard training for this, doing his day job and being such an incredible Daddy! Here he is striking a pose while playing water guns with our son….
All in all, things have been fantastic here! I really could not ask for more. Oh and my nearly 2 year old daughter slept through the night for the first time in her own bed this week! Haha, most people think I’m a little crazy for not sleep training her, but it’s just not what is best for us. Some people choose to and, by all means, do it if that is what works best for you. For me though, I love the quiet nursing times in the middle of the night…no distractions, no interruptions, just me and my little girl who is growing oh so quickly.
As for my son, he still likes to fall asleep with his arms wrapped around my neck and it is one of the best parts of my day. It’s one moment when everything is still, quiet and calm. I’m not running around doing dishes, making jewelry, folding clothes, etc. I’m making a lovely and hopefully long lasting memory with him. I’ll miss it so much when he decides he’s too old for that!

You are a awesome Mommy! I’m so please that you like the picture I took because it is one of my favorites!
YAY J for sleeping through the night.
Erick slept in our bed for the first time since he was an infant, this week and I liked having him there. They grow up so fast….
So proud of Stuart and his running! Do you run Monica?

Sounds like you’ve been busy–in a good way! I don’t go in for sleep training either. My 18 month old sleeps in the bed with me. It really is great for nursing. And, it’s just so sweet. They grow up so fast!
Good luck to your hubby!!

My sister and I ran the Bear Lake Marathon last year. It was beautiful, but there are some things to watch out for. Let me know if you have any ?’s, it’s a new race.
