Ok, so an update on life....
Things that make me smile recently with the kids:
-Payton sleeping past 4:45-5:30am!!!!! Yes, that is right, it took us 19 months, but we are FINALLY seeing a sleeper! Last night Payton went from 8:30pm to 8:30am!! Can I get a "Hallelujah!!!"
-Ethan becoming my "Mr. Smilie!" I just LOVE his smile and melt when he flashes it at me! He is just too darn cute!
-Payton grabbing one of my purses or her little play ones, flinging them over her shoulder like a "big girl," waving and saying "GOOD BYE" and heading for the door. Yes, this happens multiple times in the day. Little does she realize she doesn't get to go anywhere most of the time....haha!
-Ethan is also now "talking" quite a bit. When he is cuddled in my arms and just coos at his mommy, I just can't get enough!!
-Payton in her pigtails!! I just LOVE pigtails on little girls, and Payton's hair is FINALLY able to do them!! She is getting better at LETTING mommy do her hair too, so that is a HUGE help!
-Ethan LOVING his daddy! There are times that I can't get him to settle down, and when his daddy takes him, he just snuggles in and relaxes! (I don't mind this...makes it easier on me at times!)
-Payton and her new-found LOVE of dancing! She really enjoyed it at my brother's wedding a few weeks ago, and now her favorite show is "Dancing with the Stars!" She just looks at her daddy and says..."Dance! Peas! Peas!" She LOVES it and will do it over and over and over....(until Kyle makes me turn the channel because he has had enough...ha!)
Other things that also make me smile:
-The Weather!! I LOVE fall weather! The leaves falling, the cool temps, bonfires, pumpkins, hayrides, and beautiful colors! I LOVE to wrap up in a blanket or dress in jeans and a hoodie, so this weather can STAY!!
-My husband! He is working so hard for his family! He works a full day at school, making a difference in the lives of his students, coaches basketball, and then comes home and helps me around the house. Just yesterday, he walked in from school, started laundry, folded a TON of laundry, did the dishes in the sink, put clothes away, and picked up the house, without me ever asking!! Seriously?? I have the best hubby EVER!
-Our business and Team HOPE! We are SO excited with what is transpiring in our business with our team of committed and hard working people- people that are determined to make a difference in people's lives, all while having a BLAST doing it! Team HOPE stands for Helping Other People Excel, and that is exactly what we GET to do everyday! I LOVE it! We are so excited for the next week and a half, and what we will get to announce at the end of the month! Big things are to come!!!
So, there are so many things to smile about! GOD IS GOOD! He is so faithful and we have seen, especially lately, that, while being SHOWERED in prayer, good things are happening in our lives/family/team/community! We are so blessed!
