The point I am trying to make is that please don't ever think that what you see happening here is always our everyday! We face real struggles! (First world, YES, but struggles to us!) Over the next few months, we will make some key decisions that will impact the girls and all of us (even Cat!) over the next few years. All along the way, we are so, so praying for the slightest wink from God and trying to remember that His plan is much, much better than any plan this super planner, controlling Momma can begin to contrive.
So while I think I wondered around praying and thinking in a fog for most of the month, we did get a few pictures and a few moments of savoring this sweet season of life!
* DM started dance. It was a rough start, as transition to the unknown is hard, but she is warming up to it.
Really not so sure on the first day!
But we did survive and even got a sticker!
By the second week, we were almost smiling leaving class.
*DM moved up to a new class at school. The morning drop-offs have brought many tears as she tries to transition to her big girl room, but they quickly disappear! She has also moved out of the nursery at church and on to Kidz Zone.
* With all the rain, our pools have remained a bit chilly so we've swam very little this summer. We've had LOTS of park play dates instead.
* Football season is here! We may find ourselves grateful to have the baby to distract us from it in the end, but for now, there is no telling DM that UGA is off to a rocky start!
* And #2 is 3 weeks away from being dismissed by the perinatal specialist! In the end, I have loved going. The appointments are always quite efficient, and anyone who knows me can guess how much waiting on a doctor annoys me. I never wait more than 10 minutes to see the doctor, have always received very thorough, scientific explanations and every statistic has been broken down to how it can be applied to our situation.
