How guilty should I feel?

Because I don't feel guilty at all! I haven't written in MONTHS and it has been nice. Freeing actually. But, much has happened,

*This little man turned 2.
*This guy has been my husband for 6 years. I'll have to tell you what I gave him for our anniversary present another time. You'll laugh.
Some random thoughts...

*The leaves on my trees are starting to change colors.

*I have been insanely busy with many craft shows this fall.

*Still running and training for the Tulsa Run, less than a month away and then I think I'll back off running a bit when it is over. Our coach for our running group is the coach for Jenks Varsity girls and she is serious!

*MOPS has started up again and I am really enjoying being on the steering team this year.

*Loving our church and all the people that I am finally letting my barriers down to get to know.
*Our daughter is growing up so fast.

*It sure isn't as fun when the oldest child grows out of their naps. I miss that guaranteed QUIET. She does pretty good and at least stays in her room and occupies her time pretty quietly, but it's not the same as the quiet that comes from sleep.

*Isaac has learned to open doors and this little door-opener does not want to stay in bed...at all...anymore at bed time. He'll try coming out multiple times as soon as we set him in bed, then try again at midnight, 3am, 5am, too early am. Silly dude!

*I've been amazed at emerging friendships and changing friendships lately. Kinda cool how God puts people in your lives for a season and how some of those change into a lifetime or stop when that season is over.

*I'm glad God is in control, because I think I would go nutso trying to understand why so many different things happen to us...good and bad.

*Jason quit the big corporate rat race to work from home. We made our formal dining room into his office and I share a little space on the other side of his desk for my craftys.
*Jason pained our breakfast nook (only table we EVER ate at, and another reason we don't miss our formal dining room as such) and I re-upholstered the chairs. Love it! Take a gander at those seats. That material is magnificent and was on sale at Hobby Lobby. Not just on sale on CLEARANCE!

*It has been so fun this summer with this little familia. It's just gonna keep getting better.
