Five Things Friday

1. In the last two weeks, I have managed to break the under wire in all but one bra. Interesting.
2. We got our electric bill yesterday and let's just say we could power a small country with the amount we were billed.
3. While driving home from Dallas, I found myself pointing out combines and trains to no one.
4. Stuart has another interview on Monday.
5. My newest nephew is the most delicious little thing ever.

Home

And on that day they offered great sacrifices, rejoicing because God had given them great joy.

Under One Roof

All my boys are home and under one roof

I am so happy to have them back

Even if it means lots and lots of noise

and laundry

and dishes

and choas

Five Things Friday

1. Never mind on Centerville. Who wants to live there anyway? *more on this later
2. Stuart ended up staying in Conroe (with his brother) Thursday night too and as of right now (8:06 pm Friday), he and the boys still aren't back home.
3. I'm C-R-I-P-P-L-E-D with anxiety about our future.
4. I'm ready to just be a SAHM again. This working nights thing is for the birds. Or at least the insane.
5. We get to meet baby Joshua on Monday!

Nehemiah 9:6

You alone are the LORD. You made the skies and the heavens and all the stars. You made the earth and the seas and everything in them. You preserve them all, and the angels of heaven worship you.

Like Tucker...

...like Stuart

{I love these boys!}

Five Things Friday

1. I FINALLY got to see my BFF from Vegas who moved down to Wichita Falls. And she's pregnant (with baby #3 and due in October) and her house is fabulous and I missed her so much.
2. Stuart's in Centerville, TX {right at this moment to be exact} interviewing for a job there. The population of Centerville is 903; so while we would be thankful for a job, it would still be quite a culture shock to downsize that much.
3. We are officially in "get this house fixed and on the market" mode. Lord help us all!
4. My sister's scheduled for her c-section on August 16. Can.Not.Wait.
5. Stuart is DONE with school FOREVER. {so incredibly happy}

Official-ish

Inflatables

Yesterday I tried something new.

In order to beat the heat yet still get the boys out of the house and expend some energy,

we tried out a local inflatable creation.

Jump for Joy

And boy did we jump!

And slide.

And run.

And wear ourselves out.

Or, if you are my boys,

you find the nearest train table and play like you have never seen such a thing before.

But to each is own.

Baby News

{NOT MY BABY NEWS}

Stuart's cousin, Bonni delivered a bouncing baby boy early this morning.

12:23 am to be exact.

He weighed 7 lbs 12 oz and was 19.8 inches long.

Welcome to the world Harold James!
