This is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it!
I was sharing with a friend the other day how God has had to remind me time and time again throughout my life to "Slow down! Stop looking so far ahead into the future that you are unable to enjoy what I have for you TODAY! I made TODAY! It's a gift for you! I want to bless you TODAY! Don't miss out on it! Well, he's been reminding me again, "Don't worry about it, leave the future with me! Appreciate today!"
Some days it's hard to do that, but not today. Today was a good day! We had a fairly relaxing day actually. Titus did some 'pro bono' work and I did a little kid sitting today. (Just Noah and he is super easy, he's quiet and mostly stays under the radar.) Most of the morning these 2 got on quite well.
Cousins ~ Noah is just a few weeks older than Brook
Jesse was gone to school most of the morning...
and then Aunt Linda came back to pick up Noah and stayed for lunch.
Poor Logan, "A baby mom!!" *poke*, *prod* But apparently that's nothing compared to what he gets from Noah.

When everyone was up from naps this afternoon, the whole family headed to the gym. For me that means a good work out, a 20 minute down-time in the sauna and a nice hot shower. No one is banging on the door, running away with my towel, or pulling on the shower curtains.... quite heavenly actually!
Bedtime!
Reading to Billy
Braedon will be turning one next week, he's starting to take little steps already!
Brook showing me how she can climb out of her crib now, *sigh* so far she waits until I get there, but obviously I better start seriously thinking about putting up the toddler bed
Well tonight I get to do officework! (But I'm procastinating and adding a new post instead.) I don't normally like doing paperwork at night, usually I'm just too tired for my brain to function right. But Titus is leading a small group tonight at the church so I may as well do something that needs to get done anyways.
These are the receipts I've worked through so far... So to it I again I go!

I so wish i could meet your family! At least now i can share your days with you and i so love it!
Take care Joyce and hugs to your miracles.
Joyce,
I'm glad to see that Noah wasn't tooooo much of a pain. As far as the receipts are concerned, if you didn't buy so much stuff you wouldn't have to go through that many receipts plus if you don't stockpile them for a year it won't be such a huge task. I'm going to start calling you Linda. :)
Have fun,
Jay
