I find myself more and more using the phrase, " I just don't have any time." I used to always feel that everyone had time, they just needed to prioritize their life. But it seems that it's not that one has to prioritize, but often times it's their top priorities that are taking up all their time!
March was so incredibly crazy for us, I look back at it now and think how did I ever get through it all? Van was sick for about 24 out of the 31 days in March. It started with fever and ear infection, then followed by a fever of 103 for about 5 days, followed by a rash (which turned out to be roseola), followed by another rash, which we are 99% sure was chicken pox. Add in ballet classes, Mom's groups, scheduled play dates, and bible studies. Phew what a month! We celebrated my 30th in March as well as Van's 1st birthday. Lilly and Van's Paw Paw and his wife came up from Texas the last week in March for a visit too. It was the first time they were meeting Van.We all had such a good time that week. The kids loved it and Lilly had such a blast with her Paw Paw.
It seems that now that we have turned the corner of Van's first year he and Lilly are growing up at a super speed each day. Lilly is most definitely ready for Kindergarten this fall. She is constantly surprising Anthony and me with how smart she is, especially her logical thinking. She truly is a sponge and you never know what sinks in and what doesn't with kids. We were having breakfast the other morning and out of no where she says, "Mom I know I disobey sometimes, but there is two reasons why I do that. One, I was born a sinner, we are all born sinners. And two, I just forget sometimes to obey." I asked her where she learned or who she heard that from about being born a sinner, already knowing that I had said that to her several times in her life, but maybe she was learning that in Sunday school or something. She said, "well YOU mom, of course. Don't you remember teaching me that?" lol It makes me so proud to see those things stick with her. I have one very special girl on my hands, one that I thank the Lord for everyday.
Van is doing something new all the time now. He is starting to say little words and he LOVES to mimic anyone. He will cough after you cough, laugh after you laugh, blow on hot food after you do, any and all you do he does. It is really funny. He has especially taken to holding out both hands in front of him (zombie style) and making a 'monster' sound. lol He is such a typical boy and I am amazed at how different it is from girls to boys. He is getting very close to walking these days too, I love it!
I found this draft and am just gonna publish it now..even though its been 3 years. ha !! So, the dates could be off when published, but clearly it was written a while ago. oops
