I want to remember...

...how Micah lifts up my shirt over my belly, points to my protruding belly button and asks if that's the baby's face

...how Eden concentrates when she's sounding out words to read

...that when Micah throws a full blown tantrum how he changes when you scoop him up and snuggle him and tell him how much you love him

...how Eden craves showers

...how Micah talks about his baby sibling as a girl and how he wants to be a big brother

...how Eden comes up with crazy creative situations either on paper or through acting things out

...how much I adore them and love them so much it hurts

Excuses

I'm so bad at blogging.
I guess I kinda thought that by this time of year, I'd be back on track.
Perhaps now that I've admitted it, I will be.
There's just so much to do, only little time to relax.
I guess that's just life happening.
 I need to write a post about homeschooling Eden. Two words: love it.
I'm being serious. Perhaps it was my expectations that have been exceeded, or just
watching her little brain busy at work, I don't know, but it fascinates me and it's fun.
 Micah and Eden have been best little buds lately. She gets in these little play modes where she treats him like her baby and they just laugh and laugh and laugh. 
Sometimes I'm just on the other side of the wall doing nothing but listening.
This is how I hoped it would be. I know kids go through all these stages and this one may leave before coming back again, but I'm gonna love it while it's here.
 She's so creative in everything she does. Give her a blanket, she'll make you a home; a book, she'll make up a story; tell her a story, she'll draw it out on paper. It's  just everything she does and I adore her so much.
Micah, I think if I had to pick one word to describe him, it'd be 'joy'. He's happy when it's inappropriate, happy at meal times, happy the minute he wakes up, and the minute he goes to bed. I think he's happiest though, when he's with Eden. Those two together, I tell you, it's just bliss watching them.
Here's to keeping up more this fall!
