"Who are you to judge the life I live? I am not perfect and I don't have to be! Before you start pointing fingers, make sure your hands are clean." Bob Marley

Our Valentines mantel :) 

Madi's new word is "Poo?" "Poo?" "poop?" She picked that up yesterday after I asked her if she pooped (again!). Not sure if I added but she has been saying nose and pointing to her nose for the past week or so.
Brody decided to say bye bye yesterday! I keep telling myself slow and steady wins his race... trust me it's hard most of the time.
Gracie is crawling around but she has realized she doesn't prefer all the extra work and would rather go back to the "easy" way of scooting on her butt. That girl.
I applied for a part time job several weeks ago. I was looking to get out of the house for a couple hours during the week so I could have more of an identity other than mom. Well, the lady called yesterday and after talking about my experience, offered a little more than what I was looking for. It would be recruiting again. I'm not sure but Ricky said I should at least talk with her and see. She was already offering to adjust the hours so it would work with Ricky's work schedule. I'm not sure.. I'm just praying for guidance but at the end of the day, I'm not sure if I can be away from the kids. I kind of like them.... a lot! I just want to make the best decisions for my family but I also realize February marks two years since I went on leave and this October will be two years that I've officially not been employed. Kind of scary when I think about my career and what my future will hold in the work place. A lot to think about. It's also hard because the kids are growing so quickly and I don't want to miss anything in their lives. We have 17 months until Brody and possibly Gracie start school and if it's anything like the past 18 months, it will go way too fast.
Anyway, please keep our family in your prayers. There is so much at stake that I cannot get this wrong.
