Patio life

For the past two days Tom and I installed a patio! Yes. By ourselves with zero know how. Tom didn't have much faith, but I thinking like George Michael, knew you gotta have faith ah, faith, faith! We did it, and it's great! Some minor flaws, but it's ours and that's what matters. We enjoyed some impromptu company today on our new patio plus our knew patio dining set. Then we relaxed with our big kids into the night. #goodlife #supersorefromworking #besthusband

Christian and Brendan

With all he kids in school I'm hanging out with these two a little more.....and Christian is just hangin.

He's caught up in the fun of kitchen drawers. 

Brendan wanted a silly picture. Good ball!

Christian took a selfie!

Apparently Brendan takes selfies too! 

Getting some tickle time with that baby chin!

The butter monster strikes again

Christian is our little butter monster. He's taken quite a liking to this fatty dairy product. He's strikes when you least expect. At least this time he found a plastic spoon instead of his hands. I guess our little monster has gotten a tad more civilized.

The ones I couldn't keep

Alone in my sorrow, I can't help but weep

My heart cries out, My eyes won't dry

These were the ones I couldn't keep

Called home from God to be at rest

Comforted because He knows what's best 

Maybe I'll see them when I'm asleep

Watch them smile, hear them cry 

These were the ones I couldn't keep

Filled with joy that was taken too soon 

Replaced with the ache of an empty womb 

I knew right away, a feeling down deep

I would never kiss your face, or your toes

You were the ones I couldn't keep
