All things Beautiful

I don't know where that title came from frankly and I have no idea where this post is going. I am just typing....Eli is still asleep, bless his heart. It has been a long few days for him (and Chris and I) as far as taking care of a toddler that has been sick. He is extremely over sensitive when things aren't going well on his inside. It's hard for us to know the best way to handle these times are. It becomes exhausting to a degree, but then we are reminded that this is part of being parents. You take the good and the bad...and the exhausting times...because you realize it's all overwhelmingly worth it at the end of the day.
So anyhow, the delayed blog post has been hard for me. I discussed the dilemma with Chris about the desire to share so much of my heart through the blog...but at the same time being able to figure out what might potentially be used for other things (such as a book....which somedays looks like a small wish instead of God given passion). So, I have been trying to figure out where to go from here. Chris suggested to maybe just share a little less of my heart and a little more about what is going on in family life...which I thought was probably a good idea for a little while...just because I have lacked doing that and therefore, forget what things have been going on with us. So, for now...this work in progress might shift just a little until I can figure out a better way to organize it all!
Bare with me! So with that said...let's try to catch up on family stuff...
Chris celebrated his 31st this month, which was a sweet reminder to me of who the Lord allows me to go through life with on a daily basis. It was a good celebration with friends and family. We also celebrated Mom Keith's birthday which was a good time in fellowship as well. We took a family vacation, which I blogged about that was a good time of rest for the most part. It is a little eery to go to a beach that was so empty, but overall it was a good trip for us. Eli is growing so fast and still loves preschool...though it seems like he hasn't been much this month due to a fall break and his sickness..I am praying that he will be able to go Thursday. This past weekend we ventured to Nashville, which resulted in Eli getting pretty sick at night while we were there, but it was a successful trip for us because I got to see my sister's fun new place (loved it) and Chris got to spend some quality time in nature mowing the land...so, it was a success overall...just wish we were able to bring a well child home instead of a sick one...bless his little heart.
Chris got a wii for his birthday which Eli loves to play....he loves step aerobics...this cracks us up! That is all I can think of on the home front. Hopefully, there will be more to come this week....stay tuned!!
