The good. The bad. The ugly.

Boy, it officially feels like summer when I write the date and realize that it’s July 1st.  July??? Seriously??? When did this happen?

I have a confession.  Often times I find myself neglecting the boys of small playtime pleasures due to the mess that I will be left cleaning as a result.  Today was an exception.  They played outside.  It poured rain so hard that they couldn’t hear me calling their names from the front porch. I didn’t stand a chance with Jacob in a front pack and no umbrella and they knew it!  They had a blast and I couldn’t have been happier with my decision to let go for once. Life is amazing when it includes a little puddle jumping time.

We don’t need clocks in our house. Since 3 weeks old poor little man Jake has a total meltdown.  Total.  As in no one can hear over his screaming.  He my breaks my heart {and our ears.}   I am hopeful that we are like many who experience some relief around 3 months because I just cant stand not being able to help…. At all. We assume it’s colic. Real tears, heart felt whimpers and coughing/choking fits.  Welcome to our nigh time routine.  The poor little guy could be sound asleep to wake at 7 pm screaming.  I’m surprised the neighbors haven’t called DSS and for as rough as the nights are, our days are joyful.  Filled with genuine full faced grins. So if I haven’t been blogging, this is why.  My old lady hips are busy doing deep knee bends to lessen his discomfort.  Oh how I can not wait to have Mike home again at night.  We’re down to weeks of work left on the house… and counting…. Can you tell I am ready??!!?? Sorry to be a downer, I’ll blame it on the rain!

Here are a few pictures that I neglected to share earlier.
