It seems as though on the days that I am feeling lazy and not wanting to do anything, those are the days my boys are CRAZY!!!! Austin has been in to "Mine" or "My Turn" lately. It is not easy to explain to an 18 month old, why it is his brothers turn for something. For the most part, Mason has been extremely good with this. He usually lets Austin have the toy, but some times (rightfully so) he tends to just screem back at him. Today seems to be one of those days.

I never realized how much more quickly Austin would want to do things because his brother is doing them. For instance. We have a little booster chair that we can still strap Austin in at the dinner table. OH NO, not any more. Austin has to sit in a big chair. And by sit, I mean stand up because he can't reach the table otherwise. :)

Also on my heart today is so many people in the Tiemeyer family! My grandpa was recently hospitalized again with dizziness among other things. He is currently in a rehab facility but struggling with depression. My grandma has alzeimers which he had confessed has gotten much worse in the week and a half leading up to him being hospitalized. He is worried that she will not be able to live back with him at their apartment and will have to stay in the alzeimers unit she is currently staying in. My cousin Jill is having another iodine treatment today for her thyroid cancer that she was diagnosed with about a year or so ago. She is such a strong women. I am so proud to call her family!! My cousin Rebecca has been having some health issues and all the tests that have been run have come back negative. So, this Friday, she is having surgery to see if they can figure out what is going on. My cousin Todd is getting snipped this Friday! I think we should all send him a bag of frozen peas!! lol

God is so good and I know he is with each of these people through all these difficult times! Today's verse on my computer is Psalm 100:2 "Worship the Lord with gladness; come before him with joyful songs"

Today the sun is shining and I thank God for all the wonderful things in my life. I have a great husband (with whom I tend to take for granted) two beautiful boys, and the greatest family in the world. I have to admit that lately I have been needing some boosts in my personal relationship with God. I find myself forgetting the simple facts of things that I learned so long ago. I pray that God will reveal himself to me in ways I have not yet seen but also remind me of all the things I already know about him!
