But aren’t we all?  Troy has ended his leave and is now back at work.  The boys and I are doing our homeschool activities while doing family things as well.   Since Troy has been home, he’s fixed the lawn mower, mowed the lawn, hung some art holders, put together a shelf (that has been sitting for about a year in our room), sorted out clothes for donation, took the boys for haircuts, washed my van, washed dishes, folded laundry, made dentist and doctor appointments, taken out the trash, flattened cardboard boxes for our recycling bin, and has been all around pretty darned helpful and considerate.  I am so thankful.  I know sometimes some blogs tend to be all sunshine and rainbows but I have to say I am so thankful he has been able to step in and do these things for us. I had been looking at that shelf in the box and it was like I could hear it taunting me…. are you going to put me together? are you going to put me together? and sadly I’d sigh, maybe later.  Our life is not perfect, we have our share of short tempered impatience that we are working on, but I try to focus on the positive. (what you think about you bring about)

I got the disc of pictures from Tess Monday and I am so in love with these pictures! I can’t wait to get prints hanging on the wall and scrapped too. Thank you thank you thank you to both Tess and Operation Love.  These are a few of my favorite shots:

I really liked all the pictures but didn’t want to overload ya!  My very very favorites though are this one where we are all walking and the one of the four of us in front of the ship. :)  Thank you again Tess, you’re the best! :)

Thanks for stopping by!

Love Love and Blog you Later,
