around here lately

the last two weeks have been very much "how do we survive this well" kind of weeks. hard, hard stuff.

i but have managed to take a few pictures of everyday life. and they need to be here.

discussing their days...

at sawyer's soccer practice. joshua and rebekah writing down plays for a football game. just the 2 of them.

soccer and football are almost over...

checking off his chores

my mornings with these 2 keeps me going.

icing my calf. i HATE resting. {it's an issue. if i didn't hate it, i probably wouldn't be injured!}

joshua's end of football season party. his coach made cupcakes in the shape of a football - super impressive!

waiting for a friend to arrive...they stood there for a good 30 minutes!

writing thank you notes to his soccer coaches

multi-tasking. at the orthodontist getting bottom braces on joshua. feeding them lunch in the hallway so i can get sawyer to kindergarten. AND talking to the guidance counselor on the phone about {yet another} issue lincoln had at school that morning.

his mouth full of braces. he bet his uncle $2 that he would get red and orange for Virginia Tech. he did it! :-)

i do SO love my job. these children. they take me to the end of myself. but i love it. and them.
