Perspective

It’s amazing how the fear of loosing everything can change how you look at your life and family. The messy kitchen doesn’t seem like such a big deal. Chasing Alex around the house, keeping him out trouble, doesn’t seem like such a hard chore. I’m busy almost every moment Alex is awake. There always seems to be a dozen things that need to be done. Every day I note the big projects that absolutely have to get done, projects that I haven’t inested any time in. There is so much that I have been getting stressed about. Those things are real, and they will stress me out from time to time. That’s ok. I just need to stand back now and then and remember how lucky I am to have this family. I also need to remember to take lots of pictures and write every day. Because the cute things my kids do will just be faded memories and the are growing up so very fast. I wish I had a blog long ago for Allison growing up. At least we have video of some of our more interesting adventures. I love this family of mine.

He rolled over!

Ok.. this may not be the first time he rolled over.. but this time I know he did not have help.. I put him down on the floor on his tummy.. he rolled onto his back right away.. then Allison and I spent about 10 minutes using toys just out of reach to encourage him to roll over on to his tummy! cool! [thumb:81:l] pic test
