Tonight I am feeling full. Full of joy and contentment. I am thankful that I feel this way even with the busyness of school getting ready to start and all the changes that are coming our way. It's sort of like a little paradigm shift. I am feeling lighter. More able to let the small things go...to not worry as much. More capable of enjoying. Why? Maybe it's just growth. Maybe it's the fish oil I've been taking. The break from the heat. Maybe my new job in Owasso that I am going to love. The joy of creativity. The good Lord. All of it.
Ok, somebody please remind me of this post in about a month when I type my I'm-so-tired-I-can-barely-stand-it-post. Tired from getting up at 5am, teaching 6 classes full of about 30 sixth graders each, plus keeping my own 3 children alive. Wow! It's gonna be awesome people :) No really. It is.
Here are a few special moments from the past week or so.
Addy's first painting experience! Can you see the look of satisfaction and pride on her face?
My baby boy lost his first tooth. Freaked me out at first. We're pretty sure he swallowed it while eating a biscuit. He cried because he was worried he wouldn't get money from the tooth fairy if he didn't have his tooth. I told him she'd understand. Question, in the events that baby teeth are not swallowed, what am I supposed to do with them? Who has jar of their teeth in their closet? Creepy.
Three happy babies after I soaked them with the water hose one evening after a long day. Spontaneity can be so therapeutic.
Tonight I set the table with things I never get out. Grandmother's table cloth, my vintage garage sale dishes.
This one is random. Can someone please just write the perfect caption for this? Yes, that is a baby Jesus in the back seat.

Remind me to show you my jar of teeth the next time you're over.
Kidding.
I love this post. It's so motivating. I love that full feeling that you're talking about, too. Enjoy the contentment, and don't worry about things that have yet to come ;)
I would write a caption to your last photo but I can't stop laughing long enough to! By the way, the picture of Wilder's first lost tooth looks just like Blake but with blonde hair. In fact I think there is a pic of Blake somewhere that is almost the exact same pose. Weird!
I'm glad you are excited about this upcoming year and the new things you will experience! I'm happy you are content and full! Miss you guys! Love you.
p.s. I will get back to you on the last photo.
Hi Shelly,
You know the big neighborhood garage is the 2nd Saturday in September....get your shopping bags ready and come see me. I'm not selling this year, just shopping.
I love the vintage mug. And, Gwyn's artwork is super. Makes me happy when I click on your page.
