My Timing is Off...

I have honestly been prepared for Bretton's arrival for weeks. His birth mother and I have been on the same page that he was going to come 2 weeks early, and now we are down to just a few days from his actual due date. :) She is dilated, so we are hoping we get a call very, very soon to head that way!

 

As I was looking back through pictures that I haven't made time to update, I was just thankful that I have been able to have these moments with the kids. If I had my choice of timing, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to have any of these precious moments with L and C...and I'm sure glad I got to. I don't know when I'm going to finally accept and remember that God's timing is always better than what we plan.

 

Collier's birthday was last Monday. We had been celebrating leading up to the day just in case we were gone. Ha! We woke up the morning of and got out the donuts we got just for his special day. He was so frustrated that they had sprinkles on them! He cried and picked off every sprinkle and said he wanted a "clean" donut. Cracked me up.

We've had several fun days at the park. Have you ever seen a little stinker so excited to be on his way to swing?

We made a visit to our local fire station. Collier has really started acting interested in fire trucks and gets so excited any time he sees or hears one. He loved it and was amazed by the lights!

A few cupcakes and bowls of ice cream over several days to feed mama's stress eating habits. :)

Snuggles...

Dates with my girl...

Rapunzel braids...

A day of trying potty training....FAIL.

A total meltdown at Academy Sports because one tough little brother wanted floral rain boots like his sister. So, we left with only one pair and each of them wore one. Ha!

5 year anniversary date with my love! Our real anniversary is Friday....SURELY to goodness we will have a new baby by then!

Early morning snuggles and sleeping in...

It was still so dark in our room that the flash blinded the kiddos. :) Love.

Art projects...

Digging in our dirt pile...that is now sprouting grass! (See by Collier's foot?)

More snuggles and silly faces with my favorite little companions...

And, sweet siblings caught mid-snuggle. They sure do love each other!

 

So, as I look back through all of these moments from the past few weeks, I am so thankful that I was blessed with each of them. Thank you God for these sweet memories and precious days with my 2 constantly moving toddlers...I know life is about to get a lot busier!
