So let's do this!

Today is September 11th and I would feel irresponsible if I didn't take a minute to reflect on what this day means to me. I was 22 years old when terrorists decided to change history and cause such grief and havoc on American soil. I was student teaching and just beginning my adult life really. September 11th taught me many adult lessons. I learned about true fear, real hatred, and that none of it mattered because I had to be brave for the students I was teaching.
I pray one day we will all know true peace on earth.

Jonah, he's a crazy rambunctious boy!! I'm pretty sure he will be standing in no time and crawling out of his crib too! He had zero fear and loves pulling himself up! We have some more baby proofing to do in this house. He also has allergies to both milk and peanuts and yet is constantly trying to steal his brother's food and cups. I love his spirit and smile, however. This little guy is going to keep us on our toes!

Do you know what I hate more than anything this time of year? Political ads! I'm so glad we don't have cable and rarely watch live TV because the little I do see of political propaganda is annoying....already...and it's only September.

In just 12 days our little Noah will be 2 years old! I can't believe it! He's come so far in his 2 years here on earth. It's funny, ok and frustrating to watch him become a real life 2 year old. He's great at throwing himself on the ground already and acting as if getting your diaper changed is pretty much the same as torture. Luckily, he also is so smart and I love watching him learn something new every day! He seriously amazes Tom and I. We are enjoying watching him learn new words and conquer new challenges too! It makes those screaming fits worth it....kind of.

This Tuesday I picked up my minivan!!!! I seriously am in love with my minivan. (Other than the hands free prompts...that lady in my radio clearly needs hearing aids!) I love that it is making my life just a little bit easier. I swore I'd never drive a minivan, but man oh man....that was silly of me! I feel pretty cool tooling around town in my minivan each day! Noah loves the big windows to look out and we can't wait to turn him around so he can watch a DVD on long trips! I'm pretty sure this minivan is the greatest thing that has happened to us outside of well you know all the major blessings in life!***6***
This week most of the kids went back to school....I gotta be honest, as much as I love being a SAHM, this time of year makes me miss teaching! I loved getting my room ready and planning and dreaming of a great school year to come. I loved buying new school supplies, the smell of new crayons and freshly sharpened pencils. I really enjoyed this part of my job. Nostalgia....and then I remember a lot of the things I don't miss. But I'm glad one day soon my boys will have their first days at school and we can enjoy new backpacks, crayons, and lunch boxes once again!

I'm ending today with a shameless plug. I'm looking to make some extra money to help with our family budget while still staying at home with my boys. If you know anyone looking for someone for at home day care I am looking to take on a few kids at my house. Part time or full time. Send them my way. I also will be tutoring on Saturday mornings and one or two evenings at our local library. If your child or someone you know needs some homework help or extra tutoring please let me know!
Have a great weekend y'all! It's gonna be a beautiful fall weekend! Get out there and pick some apples, eat some donuts, or buy some mums! Whatever you do enjoy your time with those you love best!
