Setting it up

Trying to get everything just right on my blog will probably take a few tries before I am satisfied. The title and background will probably change a few more times. I tend to be picky. Michael is thankful I am not one of his customers. Of course, I am no where near as bad as some of them. :-)
Keegan is much better today, just allergies and maybe a slight virus DR. said. Either way, he is in much happier state. Thank the Lord, because yesteday seemed to never end. When he finally took a late nap, he woke up a different boy.
Right now he is napping, so Here I am...I found a few quotes today I really liked. Here is one of them...

Facing a mirror you see merely your own countenance; facing your child you finally understand how everyone else has seen you.

Isnt that the truth?

Family


I read this quote recently and felt it sums it up quite well.

The family. We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together. ~Erma Bombeck

Good Intentions...delayed :-)

Well, I got off to a very slow start. Here I am a year and a half later. I guess I know myself quite well. :-)
The last year and a half has brought so much into our lives-a new church we started, and another brand new baby boy, just 16 months after Keegan. He was born on Christmas Eve, and we named him Dawson Michael. He is absolutely gorgeous and now we have an even 4. 2 girls, 2 boys. They are a handful and some days, I feel quite overwhelmed, but I am so very thankful to the Lord that he has entrusted me with each of them. They all have their own uniqueness and every day I learn to appreciate something new about them.
Today is one of those days though! Yikes! Keegan has been miserable for about the last week and I am taking him into the DR at 3:30 pm. I have no idea what is making him so unhappy, so hopefully we will get to the bottom of it. We woke up late (after a long Sunday at church) so Ashlyyn got off to a late start. My AM grumpies and her dawdling, Not a good mix.
She is at school now and Keegan is trying to nap but crying every now and then. Mikayla is sitting next to me telling me "You are so mean!" because I am not letting her type, and Dawson is sleeping like a sweet little baby. For now. Pretty soon it will be lunch time and time to get Ashlynn and then to the DR. Some days feel like they never end.
