On the Verge...

I know. I have been very horrible these last few weeks. My blogging has been non existent along with my housework, crafting, and even mothering (to a certain extent). There has been a lot going on, about which I will expound upon later. We are now in full discipline mode with Abram. He is at the age (10 months!) where he knows what he is doing and he can understand things that we say, but he's difficult to correct because he is very strong willed. I have some friends whose baby girl was so cautious and gentle when she was an infant. I was holding her one time when she was about a year and she was looking at my necklace, but wouldn't touch it. She kept looking at her mom and at me. Finally her mom asked if it was ok if she touched my necklace. Of course it was fine. So she told Siena: "You can touch Anaka's necklace. Be gentle." And this little hand softly took the necklace and looked at it and looked at it and then put it back down. I remember thinkin...

The boys. Wow. I feel like I haven't blogged in awhile. I'm pretty sure it's been upwards of a week, but I'm too lazy to check. We've been busy and when I'm not busy, I'm lazy. Do you ever find that? It's like the busier I am, the more I'm likely to do absolutely nothing in my down time. I'd rather be moderately active all of the time - in principle - but I know it just doesn't work like that. Abram has been sleeping a lot actually, but his nap times, for me, have consisted of pricing garage sale items, making garage sale signs, reading the Word, doing the elliptical, and showering... and sometimes trying to take a nap myself. Those don't usually work out, though, because I end up just being able to fall asleep right when he wakes up. Oh well. So I don't know if it's something I've done or if he would have just settled into this routine regardless, but the last two weeks have been gloriously consistent for the Babram. ...
