The move is coming, but the boxes are empty! I’m not sure what planet I’m on lately but usually when someone is planning to move they start packing. So yes, lots to do! We spent some time at the new house putting Cohen’s big girl bed together. That was fun. I think I am avoiding the parts that aren’t fun like making a huge disaster of the current home we’re in by packing. I’ll be taking pictures of our house as soon as we are settled. We still have a few things we need to find and purchase to make the move complete. We’re on the hunt for a full size matress for Cohen’s bed, so if you know of a place that sells them cheap, holla at-cha-girl!

My girls are ridiculous. This picture apart from a million I have of Cohen and me, is my absolute favorite! She’s not the biggest snuggler and when we posed for this picture, she wrapped her hand around my face and my heart was in HEAVEN! My my, how I love my girls. Thank you Lord, for my angels!
And ps. Check out the new blog look! Thank you babe ;-) I LOVE it!

Hello miss independent. Would you like a cup of coffee now that you are all grown up? Gosh.
Holding your own bottle, what’s next?

I’m feeling tested. This may seem like a poor excuse for a test but it truly has been a difficult test in my life! God has seen me through MANY difficult situations in life and He has allowed my feet to land softly on solid ground, so I don’t doubt for one second that He wont see me through this thing called Stay-at-home-mommyhood. Cohen has been sick the past few days. Which in turn requires me to stay home ALL day. I couldn’t risk taking her out and getting some other precious child sick. Alongside that, Isla is 3 months old and needs LOTS of holding, feeding and attention. This makes for a VERY tired, burned out (barfed on) mommy. I admit I burst into tears every now and again because I am so desperate for peace and quiet and for relief from being needed. I need to be content with the fact that sometimes I don’t and or wont get a break. I need to be OK with not having time to regain my sanity and just give all my anxiety and needs to my Heavenly Father, for I know He will soothe me when I need it. Easier said than done though, right?
I may need some time away, but my girls need my care and love much more in this time. And not to toot my own horn but if anyone ever doubts the fact that being a stay-at-home mom is the hardest job in the world, they need a serious reality check.
Praying for peace in my storm.

Cohen has been a pretty healthy little girl. She’s had a cold here and there but nothing that has sent her to the Doctor. Yesterday night, she got sick and when I went to check on her in the morning she was covered in puke! Poor baby! It made me extremely sad to see her sleeping in it! She must have been so exhausted. Throughout the day we played lightly, watched lots of movies and had applesauce and toast. I thought she was doing pretty good so I gave her a popsicle and up it came! She threw up 4 times total yesterday and was telling me how much her tummy hurt. I don’t think I could have felt worse for her ;-( I prayed lots and she slept great through the night and is still sleeping soundly this morning. I hope today goes well.
My little princess Isla has been a sleeping champion. She goes to bed around 9:30, sleeps until 5-6am, eats and goes back to sleep until about 8:30-9:00. This sleep I am receiving has helped me immensely! I pray it keeps coming!
Off to battle another day at home with my girls. Vin wont be home until around 7 (I hope not TOO much later) It’s rough when you don’t get to leave your house all day but I’ll get through it.

Have I mentioned how much I LOVE Fall in little ol’ Salem, Oregon? It’s my favorite season. Summer is fun and all but Fall has a sense of peace and beauty to it. I love crisp cool mornings and sunshine during the day. I love the leaves, the smells, the clothing that goes along with Fall. I love Halloween, Thanksgiving and the preparation for Christmas. I’ve been getting the Pottery Barn magazine lately and they always have the most beautifully decorated rooms. They usually decorate according to the season and lately it’s been beautiful deep warm colors, yummy blankets, pillows, candles etc. It’s fun to grab ideas for the new house. I want to take my time when it comes to decorating. As I was looking through the newest Pottery Barn mag I came across something that struck a cord in my heart! I immediately began to day dream about it and imagine how life would (or will should I say?) be with it in my home! I can imagine it becoming a family tradition that the girls will look forward to every year. Does this sound a little silly that I have completely fallen in love with a Christmas decoration? I tend to do this over certain things. It’s a little out of the budget for now but I plan to save up any extra money I can scrounge up until I can go online and order the little beauty! It is a must for my girls, and for Christmas time in The Thomas home. Curious what it is? Well, I’ll post a link for you. I always wanted one as a little girl, perhaps that is why I love it so much?!
Here it is. Click to view!

Ok, well I can help you out a little… Does this face look familiar?
Still don’t know?
I can barley tell myself!
Oh goodness… (grabbing my heart) it’s my baby, Isla. She’s already 3 months old!? What!?
Where on earth does the time go? Please, stop growing so fast my darling. Your Momma can’t keep up!

Vin and I were saying our vows. Promising to love and serve one another the rest of our lives. May God be with us the rest of our lives! We’ve been through so much so far, and I can only imagine what God has in store for us in the years to come. We’ll need His grace and His strength to succeed in this life together and I know as we walk with Jesus, He will teach us how to love each other better. I’m so thankful to be your wife,Vin. I pray God teaches me how to love you and serve you more and more.
Vin, I love you with every fiber of my being!
Yours,
Kesh.
