The Sappy Gooey Stuff

Please accept my apologies. This entry is going to be sweet, too sweet. If you are not in the mood for a woman high on the good things in life... skip this one.  I can't turn this kind of happy off. At least not right now.

I lead a fulfilling life.

I couldn't imagine a better way to be spending my days then being married to my best friend. He understands me. Andrew spends his days doing anything he can to make me happy. And most days he is very successful. I love him more now than before. And at the end of each day, I am excited to see what tomorrow will bring.

My three kids are little bursts of sunshine on my day. Of course there are the days when all I want to do is spend five minutes alone in the bathroom. But I just have to remind myself that this time will be over before I know it.

Paige is a constant comedian; she  loves making people laugh. Her timing is getting better too. I love listening to the ideas she comes up with. Paige's cuddles are never-ending. I love her problem solving skills. And she is observant, almost to a fault.

Elizabeth has more love than she knows what to do with. She says, "I love you" countless times each day. She is so set in her ideas and ways. Headstrong, I know that will be a good thing when it comes to peer pressure later on. Right now, all I can think about is how much fun I am going to have fighting with her in the coming years.

Landon is already showing his mischievous side. If there is trouble to get into he will find it. His independence is remarkable. He loves the backyard. Mostly he loves dirt and water... and what it makes when you mix them together. I find it amazing how dirty he can get in a matter of minutes.

I hope all of that raving about my family hasn't scared you away yet. If it has, you will have missed the very best part of what is happening right now....

We have spent this summer enjoying our life together. Spending every free moment as a family. Finding the most special thing we could afford to do and stopping to do it. Swimming, garage sale shopping, taking family walks, picnics, blackberry picking.... Most things were so simple. And I hope the memories we have made this summer can last a lifetime.

This was the best summer ever.

And best of all.... I am pregnant.
