Sooooo....it's been a while.

I keep having all of these wonderful ideas on different things to blog about. Everything from potty training tails to deep thoughts of my own. ; ) I can't even sit down to blog without feeling overwhelmed by all that I could share!! Right now I'm simply enjoying a quiet moment before bed, thankful for air conditioning! I forgot how humid it can get here (nothing like the south) but my word, the air just feels thick after being in Montana and Wyoming.

The boys are amazing. Rytan just turned three on the sixth. That child is nothing but joy and giggles. Occasional freak out, sure, but that just happens when he's tired. I can hardly believe it has already been three years since he entered our lives. It is amazing to watch him with his brothers, he absolutely adores his big brother and wants to do everything (and I really do mean everything) that Ryne does. He's pretty sure he's perfectly capable to do all things that are presented before him. Fortunately he still loves to snuggle, he will grab my face with both hands and tell me I'm his favorite (in that moment) and then give me a huge kiss.

Ryne is so excited about life!! Constantly ready for a new adventure, whoever is doing SOMEthing, he's sure he needs to tag along and help. He loves running around the yard, riding his bike, jumping in and out of the little pool, riding the little ATV. Daddy has taken the big boys fishing a couple of times this summer and they are hooked! There have been two nights this summer that the boys have chatted in their room after going to bed, every other night Ryan or I will take them in and read a book, pray with them and we do not hear a peep! Ryne also likes to tell people that his plan is to have two more babies...in case you hear this! Please know it is NOT true. But, we are incredibly thankful that he loves his brothers so much he could go for two more.

Rygby is three months! He's growing and changing every day, seriously, he is. He's a smiley, happy go lucky guy! Until someone other than mommy holds him...not entirely true but he is definitely a mama's boy! I love it. He wakes up incredibly happy in the morning, chatty as all get out and smiles. He greets his brothers with big smiles and his whole body flails around with excitement.

Being a parent absolutely comes with it's struggles but I'm so thankful for these beautiful boys and the gift of being mommy. Every day I'm blown away by them and God's love and grace for all of us!!!!

Ryan is doing really well, finally over his terrible, awful summer cold. Yay allergies making everything worse! June had most everyone sick and me running around like a crazy person unable to make sense of the days because we have no routine! I, apparently, thrive on routine and without it have almost no idea what day it is or what is going on in our lives.

I want to leave you with a verse that I have found incredibly encouraging over the last couple of weeks! I hope it blesses you the same way it has me.

The Lord will fight for you, and you have only to be silent.
Exodus 14:14

Be encouraged sweet friends! Rest in His goodness and faithfulness. Let His grace and peace wash over you.
