Weekend Highs and Lows
What a weekend! I had quite the range of emotions this weekend. Let's dive in:
HIGH:
-We got to spend a lot of time with some of our favorite Engage JSU college students! From a Sunday lunch with our small group leaders, to band practice and time with some amazing International House students... it was great! We appreciate how they love on our kids so well! As a PK myself, I look forward to my kids being around the church and the students!
LOW:
-In the process of backing up pictures to my hard drive off of my 2008 MacBook, I managed to permanently delete all my photos from 2011-2013. Thankfully, I had already backed up all of our Ethiopia pictures and Edith's birth pictures. Any pictures that have been on the blog or that I've used to make the kids' Shutterfly books have been saved... but so many pictures are lost forever. This happened first thing Friday morning and the entire day I was in mourning. We tried several recovery programs and couldn't get many pictures back. I've come to terms with it and vow to do major backups REGULARLY!!!!
HIGH:
-Edith started wearing cloth diapers! Now both my kiddos have fluffy bums. We love cloth diapering and love saving $$! I'm thankful my MIL has been so generous to supply most of our diapers for us by shopping at a local store that sells them occasionally! Two kids in diapers never looked so cute!
HIGH/LOW:
-I went to school on Saturday! I have class in Gadsden (about 30-40 minutes away) 4 times this semester, and this was my second time to go for the day. It was Will's first real time with both kids for an extended time by himself. He did great and even managed to work on a sermon during the kids' nap! I'm so thankful that my kids have a great daddy. I'm also glad that I have the opportunity to go back to school right now to pursue my MSW.... but being away from my family is hard! I read this post from another blogger and thought it was a great post for working moms.
HIGH:
-Edith slept through the night! She slept from about 10-5:15 on Friday night and 9:30-7:30 on Saturday night! Sunday night she slept from about 10p-5a again! Woo hoo! I'm so thankful for this girl! Of course I still woke up at 5:30 on Sunday morning! But I was able to get a lot done in that little time... even aquiet silly breakfast with my little man ;)
HIGH/LOW:
-Will and I finished "Freaks and Geeks"-there is only one season and it was fantastic! We're sad it is over!
LOW:
My first baby turns 2 next weekend. And suddenly there has been a switch in him where he goes from perfectly sweet and silly to slightly possessed and crazy. Is this toddlerhood? Why is there so much shrieking and crankiness??
HIGH:
I've got a great hubby! He put together our new stroller. We settled on the Joovy Ultralight Caboose Sit n Stand. We borrowed a friend's for a few weeks and it works really well for us. I'm able to use it by myself easily and have used it to transport the kids in and out of church and therapy sessions quicky.
What about you? Any big highs/lows for your weekend?

The season of using a stroller at church is short-lived. I remember the effort it took to wrangle my kids. It's totally worth it!!
