Lately and a little naptime Rambling

It has been way to lo9ng since I posted. Nothing major going on, lots of littles. Very busy with the kiddos and loving it. I told Brady that sometimes it feels like our little bubble is going to pop. At the risk of sounding cheesy, life is so good right now; sweet, simple and happy. I pray for continued good health and happy hearts. I promise I am not on anything, I have heard how these would be some of the best times of our lives...I guess I am just lamenting a little. Lots of anticipation for this summer. Starting this weekend, a trip with friends to Dallas to watch Dave Mathews. First time to leave Ruby overnight..lots of nervousness and sadness about that. Maggie's recital next weekens, always fun for Brady and I to feel such pride and excitemnt for our first born! Then Ruby's baby dedication and birhtday, my sweet angel is going to be 1! I can't believe it! Then we are off to the beach. Very excited about that too. Plans for the summer, lots of poolside fun with my kiddos. Enjoying free days with Maggie as they are soon to end. Turning THIRTY in June, What!? Brady and My 10 year anniversary, this I can't wait for! Got a big suprise for him, literally big :). Then B's 30th. I decided to homeschool Mimi next year. She will continue Moms'n more with me on Tuesdays, lots of socializing in that class and it is from 8:30 until 2:00 so I feel like she will get the structure, actitity, and consistancy that she needs combined with my instruction at home and playdates with her buddies. She also goes to Sunday school so I feel pretty confident about not sending her to prek3. Working on a few paintings at the moment, excited to finish those. I'll post some pics. Moonlighting at Excel a little this summer for a few acting classes. I always love that keeps me feeling sane,, the students are qick to listen unlike my three little students sleeping upstairs :). Running a lot more lately, fitting into my pre pregnancy clothes is feeling really great. Have a few more months to go but I don't mind wearing a bathing suit anymore. Disclaimer: don't mind is an understatement, I have accepted that some things will never be the same I just have new standards, HA! It is less and less important to me though. I remember so many of my thoughts in my early 20's being consumed with the appearance of things, myself, my life, my family trying so hard to appear spiritual all the while being burdened with a competetive nature. It has been revealed to me so much throughout the past five years of raising my girls the age old saying, "Beauty is fading but true beauty comes from within" I hope that I can teach my girls this and earlier than I have finally started to believe it. Even though I hate the idea of the number 30 just around the corner I love the idea of leaving the shallow kiddie pool and jumping into the deep blue ocean. Lots more thoughts on that later. Not quite to 30 yet ;)
Well, I hear miss Ruby; better tend to my day.
