new day and happy pictures

Today is a new day. I got 4.5 hours of consecutive sleep and I feel like a new women (for today). Eli had eggs for breakfast. We make animal sugar cookies together and while they were baking he learned to write the number one - which he was so excited about he called and left Mike a message. I have meat defrosting to make Mike his favorite meal - taco "salad". My mother-in-law is coming over tomorrow so I can go to the BMV and do with my car what I should have done 50 days ago, I might even dust while she is here. The baby pooped 3 times today after a week of horrid constipation. I showered myself, gave the baby a bath, and gave Eli a haircut - the cookies were his reward for sitting through it.

It is almost 5pm and I am cleaning the kitchen while Eli plays with the dog in the backyard and Isaac watches me.

It is now 7:50 and Mike had to leave for a meeting, but Isaac is already asleep and Eli is almost ready for bed. Dinner is cleaned up - yes, I fed them dinner tonight.

Today was a better day, it normally is after a big breakdown. God says he will not give us more then we can handle, and I am confident he knew that yesterday I was just about there.

Now to make it even better here are some pictures from the last few weeks.

*NOTE* - Eli has his underwear on inside out and still is not dressed (he was dressed at one point but he rarely comes out of the bathroom with them still on) - I said it was a new day not a perfect one.
