Balancing Act

Wow! It has been over a year since I last posted. It has been a tremendous whirlwind of a year! Barrett is now 15 months and just started walking (like frankenstein baby, I might add)! He is such a sweet boy! I cut his beautiful curls off this week. The key word here is beautiful. He got called a girl a couple of times so it was time for them to go. Holden is absolutely adorable and so smart! He is a sponge and it is just awesome to watch him grow. I think I am going to use my blog to help me to remember the moments in life that I forget. It is hard to remember yesterday, much less a year ago when Holden was at this stage that Barrett is entering. I just don't want to forget that in the process of trying to balance everything out...job, kids, running the house, social and personal needs that I have a wonderful, healthy family. These are the blessings in the balance.

Here are the moments this week I want to remember:
Barrett walking like Frankenstein and riding his little car by himself. Holden pushing Barrett or Barrett walking behind Holden on the car and squeeling in pure delight of the fun he is having. I had to get that on video. Barrett climbing up on anything he can...mostly on top of the table. Holden is sleeping in his 'big boy bed' with some comforting from Mom and Dad laying with him till he is sleeping sweetly and soundly. Holden grabbing my purse and bringing it to me because he wants to go shopping (OUCH!). Barrett pouring out an entire box of Cheerios on the den floor so he can play in them. Holden learning/singing from church 'If you are happy and you know it!" It just keeps getting better!!


Bye for now...I will post more here as they arise.
