Just a little bit of everything

Well I never thought this new found parenthood of 4 boys would be as easy as pie. It definitely is a challenge. Not being able to spend enough time with my precious Beau is really bothering me. I never have a spare minute, and some would say, "well spend your time in between feedings." What time?! I absolutely barely have thirty minutes in between feedings.

Then there is the parenting part. With Beau I find myself lost at how to discipline him or parent him right now. Mainly because bringing three new babies into his world is A LOT for a 4 year old. Beau is such a sweet, precious, and happy boy. He helps out with the babies all the time and is very protective of the babies. If they cry or spit up, or even lose their paci he comes runnin. Anywho, I'm finding myself parenting through prayer all the time now, which is how God wants us to do right?!

The Food...has been awesome! I can not even say thank you enough to all the sweet ladies in my life that have brought food to us each night since bringing the babies home. It has helped more than you know, and man do I know some really amazing cooks. So thank you from the bottom of my heart. You all are too sweet.

The neighbors...if all of you had neighbors like mine, let me tell ya, you would never wave to move. The G's across the street have checked on us, brought food, and help with other things all the time. Then the T's next door have done the same plus let us use their storm shelter. Then today they both came over and mowed, weedeated, and edged our entire yard. I was speechless at their giving hearts. Very thankful for them, and how they feel like family already.

My friends...well I truly think I have the best ones out there. All of them have been so sweet to me by helping me out on days I would be by myself, cleaning my house, doing my laundry, and bringing yummy food. They all know me quite well and when they show up they just get started on something. None of them will take no for an answer, and I have to admit I am so thankful. Love them all so much.

Me...well this momma is tired all the time. I have actually got to get out a few times, an hour here abs there. Amen to that. I really would love to get these babies out, but they are just not ready, and that might be a little difficult right now. lol. Anywho, I am loving this warm weather, which brings me to my love of being outside. I am so ready to get my hands in the dirt. Ready to start running again. :/ Yeah, that's going to be a challenge right there. Ready to go to the lake, and ready to swim at Gram's.

Okie dokie, it's almost feeding time. Gotta get.

Blessings and thank you so much to everyone for your generosity, prayers, and overall help. It truly has meant a lot.

Pics - first three pics of both neighbors taking care of our yard. Can not thank them enough.
