Balancing Bliss

almost a teenager...

that is what i am in motherhood...

sometimes it feels like this;

and sometimes it feels a bit like this;

HE LIVES....

 it was a beautiful Easter Sunday .... we really tried to lighten the week before with reasons of why we celebrate this day and you could feel that in our home...

then there was 4 kids on easter candy part of the day too...

the only photo i got of all 4 of them...

lots of sissy time, pretty dresses, hunting and hiding eggs..

lots of 'new food' for the baby to try...

and some memories made of the last year having a baby bunny in our house.... sniff

snow days...

love my mr.blu...

who turned 10 this week... i can't believe i met him a decade ago.. he is such a part of me, i feel as though i have known him forever...

nothing better than....

HOME............................

as happy as i am to run away from this place at times, returning is an exhaling moment of grace...

it feels kind of like this...

( nothing better than is keeping me blogging.. i'm coming into a better place than i have been in some time and hope to be back to blogging more of happy moments in our lives again very soon)

nothing better than ....

a weekend away with the man you love...

nothing better than....

sharing the love...

after being sick for so long during the holidays and unable to give, which is the best part of Christmas, i was able to make treats for 9 neighbors and 3 church families... it felt so good to share the Love of Christ.. or vanilla beans scones... which ever.. smile..

i also made heart lunches for kids and made vanilla bean sugar jars for the teachers.. that read "thanks for being so sweet to my child" ... it was a GOOD day..

nothing better than....

being as clean as you can be in this world... for a short time... and hopefully learning how to be fresh and new for the Lord often...

luci was baptized this weekend... beautiful girl, beautiful day.... more pics of that to come..

nothing better than....

i just love that each baby has a different way to say goodnight...

( we all know mina has a different way of staying goodnight too but that is getting better.. a year later... ahem.. another post for another time..)

she still takes a bottle before we read goodnight moon... she then waves to her siblings one by one, the 'pup-pups', the 'meows', the bedroom doors down the hall.... she waves goodnight to her butterflies and her pink 'mina bird' on her mobile i made her... then i play this musical light show on her ceiling... she gets her 'baby' and hugs it tight.. loves both of her blankies... and waves bye bye to me too....  sweetest...

 

nothing better than...

the comfort of your husbands presence in the home....

or his potato soup!
