I love being a mom to a big family...except that is, when it comes to packing our bags for trips. I even dork out and make lists for each person but I STILL always manage to forget something! URGHHH. The struggle.
Still waiting on that inevitable load of laundry to finish up because lord knows I am always missing a sock or a tshirt that I end up needing. Looks like little sleep to be had tonight!
But hey, we are going to D.C. tomorrow so I can't complain much! And hoping Greg (our foreign exchange student visiting us on his vacation!) will really enjoy it as well!!

Back...Again! (See what I did there?!)
We'll now...safe to say I haven't kept up with this little endeavor.
In my attempts to return to the blogging world, please do not judge me too harshly. Life has gotten in the way, you see.
Since my last post in 2010 (hello, 5 years ago!) I have had 2 more amazing kiddos. I am now a mom to 5. You can pick your jaw up off the floor now. Yes, I am truly that "crazy." And guess what? I will almost certainly, probably have more kids! Feel free to let your jaw drop down again. I'm kind of used to that reaction.
Five years...so much change. So much growth! So much heartache, laughter, tears, joy. Life really is a grand old thing. I'm just going to say it. I am blessed. I don't care how cliche it is. I just really, really have begun to understand that simple little truth, right down to my bones.
I don't have it all figured out. Sometimes, I am a mess. Sometimes I am impatient, angry, frustrated, and annoyed. Life isn't a cookie cutter endeavor. It's more like a Pinterest fail. You know, it really LOOKED easy and fun before I got my hands dirty and realized I didn't know what I was doing! But, hey, we can laugh about it after, right? Right.
So I will attempt to let this blog be a little glimpse into the messy/fun cataloging of my attempts to raise these 5 amazing kids (and however many more God leads me to have) through life. And my attempts to teach them that God somehow makes it all work out for their good.
