My husband emailed me this morning from work and asked if there was anything that I wanted to do this weekend. I replied back with this: "Fly to a remote island and sit on a sandy beach sipping cold beverages while listening to the waves lap."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Before I get into this too far, I will state that I love my boys dearly. They bring an immense amount of joy to our home and make so many things FUN. I feel lucky to stay home with them and nurture them as they grow and learn about the world around them. However, typically by Friday, the week has worn on long enough. I often envision myself strapping on my running shoes so that when Justin arrives home from work at 5:00 or the dreaded 5:30 (what is it with that extra 30 minutes that just about sends me over the edge?) I can catapult myself out the door and leave everything and everyone behind.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Since becoming a parent, I realize how selfish I can be. Weekends are not like they used to be. Before I would enjoy sleeping in, going for a run or bike ride, possibly go to a store or two and leisurely take it all in. If it were a rainy day around the holidays I might cozy under a blanket and enjoy a Lifetime movie or four. There was free reading and looking through magazines for new decorating ideas. Oh and meeting friends at a coffee shop and talking for hours. You see, after long weeks, sometimes I daydream about those days and even long for them. Then a whiny voice or stinky diaper smell wafts by and I'm shaken back to reality that THAT AIN'T HAPPENIN' THIS WEEKEND!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's not that I suddenly don't like my kids or am not thankful for our current life situation, I think I just long for some respite, some solace, a step away.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Aren't we lucky that God doesn't feel that way about His relationship with us? In Joshua 13:5 it reads, "...Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you." He is always yearning for us to turn to Him, to spend time with Him. Even when I whine and when my thoughts or words have a stench, He still longs to hold me in the palm of His hand. He never flies to a remote island for vacation. He's always here. This God who loves us so much that He sent His only Son to endure a painful death so that we could live. And yet, many choose not to live for Him.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Friend, are you living for the Lord? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The events of the world today would lead me to believe that He will be returning soon. It's never too late to give your life to Him, to make better choices with how you spend your time or your weekend. Don't delay! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End. Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city. Outside are the dogs, those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood. I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star." -Revelation 22:12-16</div>

I was at a friend's house recently and on her porch she had a beautiful display of "flowers" in several small glass jars. I commented how beautiful they were and she laughed, squeezed my arm and said, "I collected those <i>weeds</i> out of a ditch on a drive home yesterday." Did you catch that? Weeds.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Later that afternoon when the boys were napping, I went a few feet up the gravel road alongside our home and cut a few of my own weeds and assembled them into my own glass jars.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Have you ever felt like a weed among the flowers, friends? You go on a play date and the other kids are way more well mannered than your own. You visit a friends home and she decorates and cleans so much better than you. You go to a potluck and want to hide your dessert because next to the others, it just doesn't measure up. You meant not to think ill thoughts of that woman you keep seeing at the grocery store that looks like she just crawled out of bed and didn't give personal hygiene a thought. Weeds.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHnnUnjIjSR-DjvhRoNbXhxrIxhhD9gObYUUfCIZe-EFaW-3vXn79qA2dLpJf9nfW2NPwxTN2wgUQQwHD4kFDzfey4YP1wUewW1MCB_whtsF5xXLHGhvPeApG3ajYcG6wQ5LpWCw/s1600/IMG_2267.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHnnUnjIjSR-DjvhRoNbXhxrIxhhD9gObYUUfCIZe-EFaW-3vXn79qA2dLpJf9nfW2NPwxTN2wgUQQwHD4kFDzfey4YP1wUewW1MCB_whtsF5xXLHGhvPeApG3ajYcG6wQ5LpWCw/s1600/IMG_2267.JPG" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But you know what? God even makes weeds beautiful. <i>Weeds.</i> We are imperfect people living in a sinful world. We think imperfect thoughts, do imperfect things, and struggle to stretch out for the sunrise and drink in the goodness of God's glorious riches and live. Truly live.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The next opportunity you get, take a long stroll down a gravel road and look and see the beautiful <i>weeds</i>. And remember, you were created in God's image. He wants you to flourish like a flower.</div>

I have a love-hate relationship with summer. Amazing lightning bugs to end the day after the mosquito bites have gotten big, red, and itchy. Plump, tasty garden produce after hours of toil to get rid of the pesky weeds. Happy, sweaty, sandy boys who need baths every night. Love-hate.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This season that is sandwiched between spring and fall. This season that often drags on in its dog days or seems to fast forward when the temps dip keeping us out of the pool. This season that hosts my birthday and adds another wrinkle to my face. Love-hate.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I was a kid, I loved summer; lived for summer. School was out, my feet were on the softball diamond, our family enjoyed fires on our patio watching the stars above. Not a care in the world. Now, I carry sweaty boys who skin their knees, endure whining when it's time to leave the pool, skip the campfire most nights because I'm too tired to watch the stars. Love-hate.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As a mom of young kids I feel my soul is in the season of summer. Many days feel stagnant and humid and nothing seems to want to grow. Days of no breeze and only thunderclouds in the distance. Days when the mosquito is feasting. But amidst these barren, dry days are days of refreshment. Days of rain and cool breezes and icy lemonade in a glass that runneth over. Love-hate.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How thankful I am that just as with any season, this season too shall pass. And that in the dead of winter I'll long for summer once again.</div>

Greyson's "I AM Prayer:"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am...a man of God, I am a King and a Priest. I am loved by God and loved by my family. God has a plan for me, a future for me, a hope for me...and it's in Him. I will do great things because He strengthens me. His promises live in me and I am His creative work. In Jesus name, Amen.</div>

This year's cake was a car cake. After baking it, we found that the details were pretty cute and hated to frost it and lose the detail. So, we placed a bowl of frosting next to it with a sign that read "Paint Detail."</div>

The cubby on top I purchased from a friend (Thanks, Nicole!). It holds loads of cards and other essential mailing items. The chair was purchased from a barn sale-already the orange color.

Kale has a firm grasp on the Easter story and has really taken to the Resurrection Eggs this year. I think it will be cool in a few years when he can lead Grey through the story of the cross.</div>

We managed to get ready and out the door to be at church early for Papa so he could get prepared to give his message. He retold the story of the events leading up to the cross and then focused on the veil being torn and how the separation between God and man was no more. I've even got a cool piece of purple fabric to put in Greyson's baby book, that Justin utilized as an illustration during his message.</div>

These boys who are brothers. My prayer is that they will adore each other as much down the road as they do now. That they will confide in one another when they'll no longer confide in me.

<div style="text-align: center;">
The day had begun as any other. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary. Mama took Kale to the library, picked up some milk and headed home. There had been a few pains here and there, but having had contractions for several weeks, I didn't think much of it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Around lunchtime, I realized I should be watching the clock and paying attention to the growing pains. Made myself egg salad, sat down to eat, and continued to watch. Took Kale upstairs to read and had a hard time sitting still. I told Kale, "I think I might have to go to the hospital today to have this baby!"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
After getting Kale laid down, I sat in the living room with my pen and paper and kept track of contractions. I realized this might be the real deal. I called Justin and my mom to let them know to be on alert but that I'd call them back as I wasn't fully sure. Having been induced with an almost 2 week overdue Kale, I wasn't sure what to expect. Here I was on January 23, not due until the 27th; I was in disbelief this could be it!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
An hour later, I called Justin and Mom back and said "you need to come." Justin arrived at 4:30PM from work. I was sitting in our entryway on a large exercise ball laboring while Kale sat next to me on the bench playing his guitar and singing loudly. I asked Justin to relocate him and quick. My mom arrived at 5PM and we were out the door. Before Justin got in the car, he gave our dog, Cedar, a treat.

On the car ride to the hospital, I was calculating my contractions to be 3-4 minutes apart. I was asking Justin to speed. We arrived to the hospital at 5:30PM. They took me to triage and the nurse asked if I could pee in a cup (that's her on the right in the above pic). When she realized I couldn't talk to her, she immediately put me on the table to get the monitors on and to check me. I was so worried she'd say I was dilated to 4cm or something smaller. Justin later said he was worried she'd say I was in false labor. I was at 8cm!!!</div>

They took me to my room and the doctor was shortly behind. At 6PM they checked me again and I was at 9cm and instructed to let them know when I was ready to push. No IV, asking health questions to Justin while I was in labor to which I had to correct a few of his answers! By 6:20PM I was pushing and after five pushes, our second son was born!</div>

Many people say he looks like Kale did as a baby and we certainly see the similarities. Pretty cool that they'll have each other as brothers.</div>

We enjoyed our first night in the hospital alone. They first person we got to tell the news to was Kale. When I told him "It's a boy!" he said "Oh, okay!" and immediately asked what we named him. When I told him "Greyson" he gave the same response. The second night, Justin went home to stay with Kale and my Mom and to get a good nights rest. The hospital room was much quieter this night without Justin and without as many nurse interruptions, but I enjoyed my quiet time getting to know my newest son. I also had some weepy times thinking that I'd never have the same alone time with Kale again and wondering how our world would be different. God gently reminded me to be still.</div>

Our first family photo (minus Cedar). Kale wasn't too interested in the baby. The hospital room, hallway and break room all had much more allure! Kale has adapted well to Grey, though. He loves his "baby Grey" and often wants to check on him, help "carry him upstairs", etc. It has gone so much more smoothly than we were anticipating.</div>

As I mentioned in an earlier post, our attic has been "operational" and in use since the end of December. All that is left to do is install the banister on the stairs and raise the door that leads up to the space to meet code. Here's what we have so far. I'm enjoying picking up artwork and other fun decor as I find them rather than rush to find everything at once. A work in progress! The first picture shows the area as you first come up the steps. Found that artwork on clearance at Kohls and fell in love with it. It shows a man and woman, arm in arm, walking through a rainy city scape.</div>

I decided on the colors of aqua/teal blues and oranges. Found two different bedside stands at an antiques/repurpose store. The one on the right is an old crate. We've only bonked our heads on the ceiling a few times. No helmets required just yet!</div>

The sitting area is probably my favorite spot of the space. With a new baby in the house, I nurse here quite often. It's been fun to watch the snow fly from up high! The awesome chair and ottoman were purchased at IKEA and the artwork here we found on clearance at Menards. Yes, Menards has artwork that is beautiful. Who knew?? In case you can't make out the picture, it's a river with trees in autumn. It reminds me of canoeing on the river with my family when I was growing up.</div>

Justin also built and installed the bookcase in the sitting area. It covers up the "stink pipe"! Clever, huh? :)</div>

More cubbies and drawers are in the closet area that leads into the bathroom. Justin is fully moved in. I, on the other hand, only have a few drawers moved. Haven't had a lot of time to take care of that just yet!</div>

Having had a natural birth, the tub has already gotten a lot of use as I'm pretty diligent about getting my doctor recommended 2-3 baths a day! It's a 6 foot soaker tub for my long legs! The antique "step stool" was purchased at the same location we found the workbench for the vanity.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Justin decided to leave the cubbies open in the bathroom shower area. I was fortunate to find these laundry basket hampers at Target. They are plastic but have the look of a basket. LOVE. THEM. Judging the middle basket, looks like I need to do laundry. Again. We did install a floorboard heater to help out in the shower area. It has come in handy this winter.</div>

The shower tucks in behind the old chimney which provides a little bit of privacy as well. I told Justin when I shower, I feel like I'm in a luxury hotel. That made him smile.</div>

Justin did a great majority of the work and spent most every weekend working on it from April through December. Single ladies: a note of advice. Marry a handyman. 'Nough said. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In all seriousness though, a single "thank you" is not enough to tell my husband, though I know that's all he needs. This space is a wonderful getaway within our own home. With our newborn, it's been nice to have him up there with us for night feedings and keep his cries hushed so big brother can sleep through the night. I can escape up there for quiet baths or to read my daily devotion. It is a quiet, calming space that I am so grateful for. We are truly blessed to enjoy it now that it's nearly finished. Thank you, Justin!!! And thanks to so many who have helped us along the way from our dads and their carpentry work to neighbors and friends hauling lumber up for us. Feeling blessed.</div>

This blog entry is all about our vanity. I had dreamed about an old worktable serving as our vanity. I'd made a couple of phone calls to area junk/antique/craft stores and located this one.</div>

We found a product to give it an antique cracked look. You simply paint your base coat and allow it to dry and then apply a top antique white coat that cracks exposing the base coat underneath. Then for the top, we applied another product to coat and seal it from water. We initially thought putting tape around the edges would be beneficial so it would not run over the sides but decided against that before we applied it. Thankful that we did.</div>

And the final finished product! We plan to put baskets underneath the sinks. Anytime I'm in a store with baskets, I'm looking, but haven't found what I have in my mind just yet (or they are not in my price range)! We're enjoying a fully operational bathroom (and have been since end of December...the blog posts have just been a little sparse!)</div>

I ended up with just 4 sessions of physical therapy for my sacroiliac joint pain. The PT had recommended a maternity belt as well which has done wonders. My main issue now is lack of sleep. I am up throughout the night and cannot get comfortable. I've tried our bed, guest room bed, baby room Lazyboy and the floor. Just call me the wanderer. And wouldn't you know, I normally can't sleep well at naptime either. Anyone have good under eye concealer recommendations?!</div>

Much has transpired on our attic project since our last post. We worked on trim. Corner pieces were primed and painted in addition to all the trim work, of course. We tackled the corner pieces on a Saturday morning/afternoon.</div>

It was another fun Halloween. First off, Papa had taken a couple of days off of work to work on the attic project so he was home with us all day on Halloween. Kale and I made a homemade pizza for supper (pizza is becoming our holiday tradition for many holidays, it seems...) and used pepperoni pieces to make a jack-o-lantern face on top of the cheese. Kale thought that was pretty cool!</div>

The original costume plan was a cow, picked up at a second hand store. Due to my growing pregnant belly, I was going to dress as a pumpkin and Justin as a farmer to complete a "farm theme." However, Kale tried the costume on a few weeks prior to the big day and we found that the size 4 cow was too tight and Kale did not like it one bit. The day was saved with a cape my mom had made Kale for his birthday. We easily turned him into "King Kale."</div>

He wore a pair of pants and sweatshirt already in his closet and I bought a .99 cent plastic tablecloth that I cut a piece out of and stapled around his waist to make the "sash."

Our electrician was here on Tuesday and completed his work. Below is the shower area with light/vent installed. You'll notice the old chimney running right up along side of it. If anyone has tips for cleaning brick, we'd appreciate them! (another item on the to-do list).</div>

About three weeks after the morning sickness had passed, I was unfortunate to pick up a digestive virus from my hubs. Nine days of awful diarrhea. Due to the pregnancy, the doctor wanted to ensure I was not dehydrated and to check my electrolytes and such so I had to do more blood work, urine samples and stool samples. Talk about awful! Praise God it was simply a virus and baby seems to be doing well. Praying the remainder of the 2nd and 3rd trimesters are uneventful.</div>

After a lengthy process, our drywaller finished last week Friday. On Saturday, we had a great paint crew of D's parents and a couple from our small group. We were able to get all the primer on and one coat of sky high blue (fitting or what??) in the bedroom area and mindful grey in the bathroom. On Sunday, Justin and I did a second coat on everything. The lighting really changes things up at different times of the day. At some points, the blue looks white and the grey looks tan. But, we are happy with how the colors have turned out overall.</div>

Hard to believe summer has come and gone but we are already half-way through September. It's been a great summer with Kale. I really enjoyed his age this summer as he was able to do quite a bit on his own. Perfect timing as this mama wasn't feeling her best while pregnant! I had planned one event for Kale for each of the summer months. In June, he took swim lessons for two weeks.</div>

Initially Kale was not so sure about going into the pool on his own. I had done parent/child lessons with him when he was one year old (AND had done water aerobics in this pool while pregnant with Kale!), but this was his first crack going solo. Eventually he really liked lessons and looked forward to going every day. Here he is below with his swim instructors. He happily jumped into their arms in the water, loved going down the slide, would put his face in, but wasn't a huge fan of going under the water. After the first initial try of that, on all subsequent tries he would first have to verify with the instructor that he didn't have to go under before he'd jump into their arms.</div>

In July, I enrolled Kale in a recreation program called "Tot Lot" at a local Rec Center. No pics to show for that, but he LOVED it. They got to play games, do a few crafts, and other fun activities. He went for just four days for 2.5 hours and mama had free time. Doing a little dance right now remembering that free time!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Also in July, Kale experienced fireworks for the first time!</div>

The pic below is my best attempt at a family photo at the fireworks. Makes me giggle. Kale enjoyed the fireworks and the snacks that we brought with. Toward the end, he did decide the booms were too loud, but he was content to cuddle while I covered his ears so it was a win-win.</div>

In August I enrolled Kale in Camp Creativity at a local arts center in town. Let's just say that Kale did not want to tap into his creative side. You'll notice in the pic below the large orange paper he's holding. These were envelopes the kids had laying out in the hallway and each day when parents would pick them up, we got to see what crafts and art they had done for the day. All the other orange papers would be covered with things but Kale would just have one picture that he'd "sort of" colored. The teachers said he was content using scissors the whole time. So, rather than create, he liked to destroy apparently. Oh well...</div>

You'll notice in the pic below my little boy in the yellow sitting on the bench by himself for story hour. Didn't want to be creative and apparently wanted to be antisocial as well. This camp was scheduled for five days, but by days 3 and 4, Kale was not wanting to go. He'd lay down in the hallway outside his room and basically refuse to go in. By that 4th day, I had already decided there would not be a 5th. So long Camp Creativity!</div>
