It's been awhile

I am not sure how time goes by so fast before I remember to write down what has been going on. My days and nights still seem to run together just a little bit, and I don't have much time to sit down at the computer much, but I am visiting Blaine's parents for the moment and both boys are asleep! So with nothing to clean, cook, or do, I get to sit down and write for a bit :)

What a nice few weeks it has been. Noah went and spent a week with Ella and Terry, and I got to spend so much needed alone with with Hudson. It is amazing how much easier being alone with an infant is after you have had a toddler for two years! Not that I did not miss Noah like CRAZY, but I did NOT miss picking up toys every five seconds :)

Being back here with Noah after not seeing him for a bit, has made me realize how hard motherhood is. Well, maybe I should not make a generalization, as I seem to have friends that are always together and it is easy (I wanna know the secret), but it is VERY hard for me. Not even in a bad way, just that it really stretches me, and causes me to live on my face before Jesus-which I would never change. I guess just the way that you are needed 24/7 as a mom, can get draining, but then again, don't we need God that much, and He never tires of us?

"Jesus, please continue to give me the patience, strength, love and passion to be a good mom!"

Oh, and on a fun note, here are a few pics of Noah that the in-laws took when he was here...seemed pretty happy without me :P and then some since we got here!
