melissa came over with the kids for a play date, but we ended up rearranging our living room instead. it looks so beautiful! i love having a friend with the same style and vision! now we need to work on the bedroom and kitchen...

the kids got to play with a lot of their friends at cascade park this morning...
levi took a 3 hour nap, which gave bene daye and i a chance to read lots and lots of library books.

danette went into labor (for real!) tonight and heather and i got to be there for bristol's birth! utterly amazing. it was an honor to be there and the entire experience rekindled my desire to be a doula.

today bene daye had her spring recital with the glenwood dance team! the weather was BEAUTIFUL and almost all of our family and friends came out to support her.

even though demetrius and i were very ill today, heather met us at the doctor at 8:30am and took bene daye and levi to her house. we were seen by the doctor, got our meds and ginger ale, went home and slept ALL day! it was just enough time to rest and feel a bit better...
scotty brought a yummy dinner, which meant i didn't have to cook...
picked up the children, everybody got a bath and we were all in bed by 8pm...

joy may be full...

so...
it's been almost two years since my last post.
life just kind of happened.
while i love the idea of writing deep, witty, inspiring posts, i must admit that as a stay at home mom it is hard to find joy EVERY single day. when you are crunching cheerios into the floor with every step...when your little one uses your beige, suede furniture for his canvas...when you can't take a shower...when your husband comes home from a hard day and you haven't even thought about what's for dinner...when you forget to put sunscreen on your kids...when you're out and need to change a diaper only to realize that you left the diaper bag hanging by the front door...when this...when that...i could go on and on!
but one day, sooner than i care to imagine, there will be no more cheerios to clean up, no more never-ending mounds of little laundry, and no more belly laughs running through the house. there will be no more tea parties to attend or jumping on the trampoline or good night prayers or kissing their scrapes...
i am determined to find joy in the little gifts, the tiny blessings in each day. even on my worst of days, i am realizing that there are beautiful, tiny blessings that, in reality, are much greater than any discouragement, misery or frustration that my flesh wants to dwell in.
so...here are the things i am thankful for in june...
