Can't Complain....

I am SO HORRIBLE at keeping with up with my blog these days!

I just wanted to check in really quick to say..."hi!" I hope you all are doing well. Here are a few, quick updates....

My pregnancy is going well. I am a little over 26 weeks along now and I am feeling pretty darn good. The baby kicks a lot and every time he does, I have vowed to thank God for the life that is growing inside of me. I have always thought/known that "life" is a miracle...but this time around, I am more in awe than the times before this! I don't know why (age....maturity?)....but I watch my belly move and I can't quite grasp that there is a little human inside of me. God is truly amazing and I am thankful that He has given me the task of being a mom to THREE boys (okay...almost three)! I wonder what this little guy's personality will be like....I wonder who he will look like.....and I wonder what the Lord's plan is for his life. I am excited to see everything "unfold!"

Homeschooling is going well...and we are almost done with our first year. I really can't believe it. This year has gone by so quickly. There are some things that I have wanted to do with the boys- that I haven't done......but overall, we have accomplished a lot. The boys have finished lots of their curriculum and we are ahead in most subjects. Bryson will be tested next month, and I am a little nervous about that. I know his scores will be a reflection of what he has- or has not- learned this year. Hudson is reading well....and it's so much fun to see the growth from Sept. until now! Bryson loves science and doing experiments and various projects. :) The boys loved their art classes and are now taking piano lessons. Bryson LOVES piano (so far) and enjoys practicing. He has memorized several of his songs and he seems to pick up on some songs just by hearing them. Bryson actually taught his little bro one of their songs...and he did a better job than I did! :)

Josh is working a ton and is running his contracting business (Protex) on his own now! If you need any home remodels...construction....landscaping done- please call him!! :) You can email me for his cell number. Anyhow, Josh is working closer to home now...and that has been nice for family dinner time. These days, Josh does very little photography....but I am hoping that when #3 shows up...he will break out the BIG camera and start shooting away! :) It has been fun to see how the Lord has blessed Josh with many different talents and giftings. He is an "artist" and a contractor! Who would have thought??

These little updates are just to give you a small peek at what we have been up to! I can't complain.....the Lord is good to us. There has been (and there will continue to be) lots of change happening around here. We are excited to meet our little Keaton...and we are also excited for summertime! We love the warmer weather...and we even made it to the beach last week, over our Easter break. I love the longer days...and I love listening to the boys play outside. We have MUCH to be thankful for.... :) I really can't complain!
