Sprinklers and a Shower

Sullivan and daddy had a fun time playing in the sprinklers in our front yard! Ha ha! She was soaked in her clothes, but why not! It is so hot around here. She loved this special treat with her daddy!









I think Ryan started out just fixing a sprinkler or washing the dog and then he gave in! It was a photo opportunity I couldn't pass up!
Wendy, Cory, Jen, me and Katie at Cory's going away/baby shower get together. Aww... she'll be leaving to Australia soon and then having a baby in Decmeber! She's brave! We will all miss her very much. It was great to see the girls all together again.

WORK WORK WORK

So, I am back to work three days a week. The hardest part is being away from Sullivan and Ryan all day. Ryan is also back at football... all the time... so our little family is going through a big adjustment right now! When I leave in the morning Sullivan is so good, she says, "Bye Mommy, I stay Nana's... mama Bye bye, otay!?". Ahh, it's so cute and much better than last year, she would just cry and cry! When I get home she says, "Hieeeee Mommy!" (Usually). It's so great that she is well adjusted, but then we get home and try to think about dinner and bedtime and all that... Ugh... I am happy though. I get to be off for the next 5 days with Labor Day on Monday! I do really appreciate the opportunity I have to work only 3 days a week and be home with Sulli more than a traditional school would allow. God is blessing our family even though things seem to be so chaotic. We are well cared for! :)

These verses really encourage and remind me of God's perfect will and his provision. I trust that he has already determined what will come of my crazy little life and he knows best.

Matthew 6

33 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
34 "Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble."

Sullivan is now TWO years old... sob sob

We are so happy to have a happy and healthy 2 year old girl... but it's sad how fast the time goes by. She is so smart and fun, she smiles every morning and says, "Mommy!!" when she sees me! It makes me feel so good. She still isn't potty trained, or even close really, but we are trying our best. She got lots of fun things from friends and family and we are soooo grateful to have such a strong support group. SHe is loved and that feels really good.

Home from Alaska

Alaska was fun! Sullivan really enjoyed being the "princess" on the Princess Cruise Ship. We were on that ship for 10 nights... wow. It's nice to be home, but the vacation was great! The weather was pretty nice. Alaska, as I guessed, was cold, but comfortable. My favorite parts were visiting the Alaskan Husky Summer Camp and riding the Railroad up to the Yukon Territory out of Skagway. Victoria, B.C. was cute too! Cruising is a great way to travel!
