Catchin up on life....

Well, it's been several weeks since I blogged all my thoughts....lots of thoughts, as usual, so this blog may be a tad longer than normal...but thankfully, nothing too crazy has been going on...just doing life with my amazing family!

Let's see....it was our anniversary, Garrett's birthday & mother's day all in one weekend this month, which was alot, but oh so fun! 5 years of amazing marriage, a 4 yr old son & to be honored as a mama, was some golden nuggets of good memories to hold on to!

Gideon & Garrett are growing like weeds. Gideon (15 mo.) has taken a few nice falls, which every new-walking toddler does. We have a bleeding cut, scrape, face, or lip about once a week now, on average! ha! I don't worry any more, b/c it happens ALL the time. Bound to happen w/ boys anyways! Garrett (4 yrs) is a hoot! He and I have some of the best coversations about bugs, birds, trees, how people grow, God..it's so cool to hear his questions w/ all the curiosities that go along w/ them.

My boys play so well together..it's been cute to see them wrestle, cry, fall & laugh together. Having two boys is awesome, although, I didn't know, as their mother, that it would take so much physical strength to raise them! Let's just say, my back hurts & my brain! ha!

I have been amazed at all God has blessed us with. It's very simple...we love Jesus & He loves us right back...& even more. Our blessings are not material so much, they are eternal. Things you can't "buy" here on earth. That is what I love our our life, as the Lawrence's. We know how "fleeting" things here are on earth, but how eternal our relationships & love for the Father in Heaven are.

Nothing truly matters to me anymore, other than my faith & the faith my husband & children have. Now, how's that for a 'golden nugget' to take with you! :-)

Ok, so it's almost the end of May...which I CANNOT believe is almost over. Summer is here!!! Garrett's last week of preschool is this week...then it's SUMMA TIME! WOHOOOO! I do have a few things planned for us that will be fun to do this summer, but other than that, I plan on having fun with my kids, whatever we end up doing.

All for now I suppose...here are some fun photos of the boys in our tiny pool, in our tiny backyard. We're hopeful for the future of a bigger backyard someday. Someday..I'm ok with that, b/c it's ALL in God's amazing hands!

All my love to your bloggers out there!

Peace,
Jodi
