What I'm Thinking Thursday

I'm thinking that I am beyond ready for summer to be over.

I'm thinking that it's funny when I see people circle the parking lot of the gym to get a close spot. You're going to the gym, is walking another 30 steps going to hurt?

I'm thinking that potty training is super fun time consuming, but well worth it ( have you seen the price of diapers)!

I'm thinking if you actaully watch the show ' Toddlers and Tiaras' you have some deep issues and need to seek help immediately! Serioulsy...GO

I'm thinking I know what happened to our turtle

Summer Time

If anyone has spent more than thirty seconds in Texas during the summer, you know it's about as much fun as snorkeling in a volcano...unless you are looking at this



I haven't been doing a good job of keeping up with this, so here are a few updates
- Abby had her 18 month check up last month and it went really well! Mostly because she didn't get any shots, but also because she is finally not screaming the minute we enter the parking lot. She is still in the 95% for height and weight and physically doing everything she should be. She is speaking three to four word sentences and even tells me when she is going potty or needs to go potty.One of my favorite things right now is that Abby prays with us and says "Amen", it really just melts my heart. She walks around the house with my shoes on, my purse and an old cell phone in one hand and keys in the other. I love it!!!
-Dave has been working like a mad man. I don't know how he works all day in this unforgiving heat. To top it off, the second he walks in the door Abby wont let him out of her sight. He really doesn't catch a break, and he never complains about it!
-Dave and I get to go to College Station for a night. He has to work and I get to stay in the hotel and do nothing!!! I know that may sound weird to most people but let me tell you this. I have not been away from my child for more than 8 hours since the day she was born. I love her more than anything, but everyone needs a break. I need one day/night where I am not doing laundry, cooking, cleaning, or changing diapers! Can I get an Amen?!?!
-I am loving my day to day life staying at home. I feel like Abby changes so much every day and I am so thankful that I can stay at home with her and not miss out on it. I feel like God has blessed me in ways I never thought possible and I truly feel like I don't always deserve it. Abby has taught me how precious every day is and that our children really are a gift from God and we need to appreciate the little things.
I will try and get some more pictures on here when I get a chance
***as i was writting this my sweet girl who i thought was down for the night had taken off her pajama pants and then her diaper! thanks honey!!!
