Happy Monday

Our sweet Jaiden started school today. He was so nervous, it was really cute to see his emotions. Under it all, he was really very excited, and as he shyly walked in his new classroom, greeted with a warm welcome from Miss Leslie, I could see that he was going to have a wonderful day, and was going to be just fine.

I held back the tears, and gave him a huge hug goodbye. And, like a kid waiting for Christmas, I've been counting down the hours until I get to pick him up. Yes, this momma misses him terribly!

We get our new puppy, Bella tomorrow! The kids have been asking about her daily, and are thrilled that "tomorrow" was the answer today.

I will post pictures as soon as I can. I have so much to share, but I have used up all my free space for photos, so I'm getting everything figured out to use other photo places. I'm NOT good at this stuff, so bear with me...I had to look up the phrase "bear with me" to figure out the correct spelling of the word bear/bare. Very interesting, you should google it if you're bored. =] I understand that I look like a total nerd now, but I really enjoy learning.

I've been working on the boys' room (as far as decor) and I LOVE it. I think I could actually sleep there...if it wasn't so stinky.

I'm still sticking with those goals I made this year. NOT perfectly, but I'm not letting them go either, so it's getting done!

It has been beautiful here, so we have spent our afternoons on walks and bike rides. I am READY for Spring!

I hope you all are having a wonderful day. Some of you may have the day off, so I encourage you to live well every minute you can. I am so very thankful for the life God has given me, and am learning to live it fully with Him teaching me how. He is gracious and faithful in all He does. How can I possibly complain when God has given so much?
