Okay, so I may have sort of borrowed the title from Jon & Kate...but please know, I'm no longer a fan...but that's another blog post all on its own!
Time to do a little catching up on the ol' blog...I've thought about it lots of times, and have many things I want to share...but my lack of creativity and time keeps me from posting regular updates. I read so many clever blogs and am inspired by the content...but I usually feel rather ordinary after reading them and my insecurity gets the best of me. Not long ago I read this post by a friend of a friend and could so relate. But, it's time, and creative or not...I'm going to update you on our life and what we've been up to the past couple of months. Starting with Aldyn's 2nd birthday...
We had a wonderful day...I believe God answered some pathetic little prayers of mine (also another topic for a post all its own).... It was 70* and beautiful so that morning I decided to throw together an imromptu get-together at the park for some of her little friends. Emerson slept most of the morning, so Aldyn and I had some special time together. We painted her nails, made some cupcakes, and I just got to enjoy her! My parents were in town so we got to have lunch with them and they helped with Emme while Aldyn and I were at the park...it was one of those days where things just seemed to work out without planning...I enjoyed it so much!
That weekend we had a family party, and everyone was able to come! It was a little crazy, and I let my neurotic self get a little too wrapped up in the details...but the party itself was great. Just having all our family in one place at one time was so neat. Aldyn adores each one of her cousins, aunts, uncles and grandparents, so for her, having them all here, and getting a few presents...all in the same day...what more could a two-year-old ask for?
Aldyn is such a blessing...a little blessing who is challenging us more and more each day :) I've never heard anyone say that parenting a toddler is easy...and if I did, I would know they were lying. It's tough! One more reason to pray...and trust...and pray...and trust! I do know that He won't lead us astray. And whoever said "It takes a village to raise a child" was absolutely right...I realize that more all the time. I'm so thankful for our "village" of family and friends who love us and our kids...and seem to always be there just when we need them.
A few pictures from the occasion:
(and once again it seems that I'm impaired when it comes to moving pics on blogger, so I'm not even going to mess with it...enjoy them in random order!)
Aldyn's party fell during March Madness :)
