Getting closer to the finish line with part four!
I highly recommend this project to anyone who is really struggling or feeling overwhelmed with motherhood (or maybe just life!). So many days, when TJ is having a meltdown or the boys bicker after school or dinner isn’t ready until way too late because I just didn’t have any energy to make it, I reach the brink of overwhelm and bitterness. It’s in those moments where I pray for God to please please please show me the good and without fail, He does. It’s usually later on when I least expect it, but it’s there: a gorgeous sunset, a line in a book, belly laughs at the table, even just really noticing how beautiful my kid is. That one, everyday moment strengthens me and helps me to keep going. God is faithful.
This installment of photos is from October 20 to November 6:
He’s not a cuddler, so it meant so much for him to curl up next to me | Love the soothing sound of rain | Our friends just adopted a cat and TJ was obsessed! | There’s no where I’d rather be than hanging out with Mark | Helium-filled balloons make the best party favors! Hours of fun | This girl and all of her stuff, just to drive her brothers to school | So thankful for our book club’s gentle encouragement to keep my nose in a book and not on my phone | She just looked so beautiful today | 34 weeks
We keep popping into the boys’ room to look at their finished closet! | You never know what you’ll find with TJ and his crazy antics | On my drive to the OB, I was stuck in traffic, but couldn’t stop staring at the beautiful view | J painted his pumpkin this year and made a mouse | The leaves on this tree are such a vivid red, so gorgeous! | “Watch out for my laser beans, mama!” | That sky…so incredible | Teaching TJ how to play Angry Birds and being so patient when he doesn’t catch on to the whole sharing part | So thankful for the time spent with J, reading his weekly library book together. His belly laugh is contagious
