I Am.....

Abby one year ago 18 months in Colorado Springs @ The Focus on the Family Institute I have been thinking a lot lately about who I am. I've had lots of quiet over the last 10 days - my two loudest children are with their Daddy in Oregon and sweet Abby and I are here. Abby demands a lot of attention when awake, but she sleeps a lot, so I had quiet hours to work and think. Here are  random thoughts rattling around in my mind: I am: ... about to be a single parent for 10 days while my husband serves in Vietnam. ... concerned about John's ankle and his ability to walk in a foreign country and deal with the pain. Gabe at 2 weeks. ... a work from home mother who has identity issues - to those around me I am a mom, to those at work I'm an employee, to my company I am valued and gifted, to my family I feel inadequate. It is much easier to work in a promising job that earns a nice paycheck and has lots of people who make important requests, than raise godly children ...

Meet My New Nephew: Jonah Mateo

I went to see my sister for a few days while John and the boys were away. I had a great time cuddling Jonah, entertaining two kiddo's under 2 1/2 and spending quality time with my sister. It was nice to just bring Abby, it was way more relaxed and restful. I did a photo shoot with my Nephew, my sister had some great pose ideas so they really turned out well. I hope she likes them!
