First Day of First Grade

My sweet little baby going to first grade. I also started my new job today and we rushed out the door so we had to stop and take pictures in a neighbors yard. Brooklyn was excited and showed no signs of nerves. I'm thankful that she was happy to go because it helped me not be anxious!

Breslin Pearl

Today is August 17, 2015. Brooklyn started first grade today and she loved it. Tonight will be the fourth night you have slept in your crib. The first night you slept three hours and woke up every three hours almost to the minute. The second night you woke up every 3 1/2 hours and last night you slept five hours and then four. I'm so thankful we kind of finally have a little routine for you and Sissy. You have been rolling from your tummy to your back but I have not seen you roll from your back to your tummy.

You're starting to really love little toys that you can easily grasp with your hands. We also got you a few teething toys because that has been a big issue lately.

I feel like you're amber necklace has been working as far as making you more comfortable in the evenings and also just making mommy more aware of your teething and it reminds me to be patient and compassionate for those irritable times that I just can't make you happy.

Brooklyn is so proud to be your big sister!

Weekend before school starts

Made Amber necklaces for Kim's bday and she made earrings. We had so much fun. Could a stayed for hours..oh wait, we did.

Sissy loves walks but her eyes are so sensitive. Need some smaller glasses mommy!

A new chapter

So, I'm starting a new job working in an area of integrative medicine. Daddy will keep Bressie til 3 then mommy will get both the girls so daddy can go to work. We feel this is the path God has called us to take for now.

Love my girlies

Tubby tubby. Getting lots of mommys yummy milky

Hard to pick one cute expression Breslin; you are so photogenic!

No AC

Our ac went out and thankfully we could stay with mom. Girls fell asleep easily over there! However, Breslin didn't stay asleep!

Why you no sleep?

It has been a rough few days. I don't know if it's teething or a growth spurt but your naps and feedings are all over the place! Tried to lay you down twice today and this is what you did when I came to check on you right after you were screaming...I said, "Why you no sleep?" And you just smiled and smiled.

Back in the Gym

There's a lot of power in my feet on a treadmill. Freedom, sanity, peace, a purpose. Exercise= time to myself. I need it and I hope I can make it a priority. Time alone gives me time to also worship God and see his love for me. I've been overwhelmed with depression and I refuse to submit to medication when this is all the medication I need.

24min on treadmill (hey, every minute counts) 20 minute pace and just over 1 mile. Compared to where I was a year ago it's sickening. Compared to where I was yesterday, it's a major accomplishment.

Did 4 sets of 8-12 reps of legs, 10 min abshttp://sworkit.com/ and 5 min stretching...not gonna lie, a little afraid of my soreness tomorrow.

Happy happy

Yes, these are all almost the same picture but I love every single expression!

Breslins Necklace

Wanted to try an amber necklace. There's a lot of conflicting information and it's mostly been word of mouth that I've heard they work. Either way, it is super adorable!
