Good Morning Bloggers!


This morning I am blessed with a beautiful family. I know that I am not any more blessed this morning than I am on any other morning, but I am just taking the time to acknowledge it today. I have a wonderful husband and two beautiful little boys. And for the time being, we have my cousin Jessica living with us.

But I do have a few little requests that need to be prayed for:

1. I really hope that Brady starts sleeping through the night soon. These multiple late night feedings are really starting to take a toll on me. He used to be such a good sleeper, going to bed at 8ish and sleeping until 3 or 4 am then again until 7. Last night, we kept him awake for as long as we could before bed, gave him a bath and put him to sleep with a full tummy at 9:00 pm. He only slept until 1:30 am then up again at 4:30 am. He is not even sleeping for his usual 5 hours increments. I am exhausted because Carson gets up at 6 am!! It has been longer than 3 months since I have had a good night sleep.

2. Steve really needs some good work karma. He has been working really hard with little sleep as well. However, his customers sales are down 50%. He is strictly commission which means his sales and paychecks are down 50%. With a new cabin to pay for at Bass Lake, we are trying our best to make ends meet. We are fortunate to have a savings to pull from and ultimately fortunate that he still has a job all together. He is working hard and with hopes that business will pick up.

3. Little Jessica.... Ok, I know she is not that little but she is living with us for the time being with unclear aspirations. To college or the air force is her question. Pray that the decision becomes clear for her. She is also looking for a job in the meantime. I hope that her persistence will pay off and that she will find an amazing job (hopefully with Red Robin and/or Starbucks!!)

But for now, we are truly blessed with the wonderful family that we have and the roof over our heads. Some days I complain and don't think I can make it through, but seriously, I love my life!!
