NMM

all this past week, i have been on scheduled vacation. i have not been in pj's more times than not. i have not let my all of our laundry pile up. i have not just barely gotten by with dinner ideas. we certainly did not eat 99 cent coney dogs b/c i didn't feel like cooking yesterday. i certainly did not use the excuse that the top of my foot feels broken so i am just gonna lay here on the couch and watch TV. what is your NMM? link it to mckmama's site. this is therauputic!!!

heaviest of hearts

over this weekend, i went to check on Gavin Owens. god bless his sweet family. i do not know this family personally, but their 2 year old just stole a huge piece of my heart. i keep finding myself going back several times over the past few days checking on him. my heart just is so sad for this family. i did a 5K walk in honor of Gavin over the summer with a family here in houston. getting back to our weekend however, we had a game on saturday and grandpa bobby and unca brad came. then we went to eat dinner! that was a huge treat. on sunday, loaded up the kids and went to church. afterwards, we played a game parents vs kids. just what the doc ordered for my spirits. there was so much laughter and just spending quality time with my boys! so so much fun!
