Stay Tuned

I'm going to take a little break from blogging. I love to do this and wish I could write just about every day. But then, life happens and I can't always get to the writing and uploading photos. And then I feel bad. I'm going to take the month of November to come up with a better plan for managing all that running a household of five involves as well as making time to enjoy my family and life. I want to be more proactive in training and raising my kids instead of just going through the motions and making it through the day. I also would like to spend time with the Lord again. And I'm afraid all of this means I have to start getting up really early. So, I'll see you again sometime after Thanksgiving. We do have a fun-filled month ahead: Disney on Ice, visits from grandparents and to grandparents, Thanksgiving week at Callaway Gardens with my mom's family to name a few. And I have high expectations after last year's crazy Thanksgiving. At least I know there won't be any pregnancy-related nausea and vomiting.

Before I sign off, here are a few pictures from last Sunday's trip to Oak Mountain. Grady cannot get enough of the farm and animals. It was beautiful weather. We picniced by one of the lakes and had an awesome time together. And we each brought some germs home with us. This week's trip to the pediatrician was a diagnosis of croup for Grady. My diagnosis is that we all have had some form of it this week. We are hanging in there though, and counting our blessings because they are many!
