Ok....How do YOU organize your children's clothes? What do you hang and what do you not hang? What about having multiple boys in one room sharing closet and dresser space? READY GO!

My energy really likes to plummet! For example...this morning we slept in and I was wide awake. We had friends ask us to come watch their daughter play in a tennis tournament. So I got up took a shower and bathed Riley(we share bath time cause by the time I am done I can let him stay in and play in the tub while I am getting ready). All 3 of us got out the door and to the park. We did nothing but sit/stand watching Madeline play. On our way to lunch I told Kevin I felt like I had done nothing and I felt SOOO tired! By the time we got home from our lunch with friends I went basically straight back to the bed. Riley came in and out for a little bit and then Kevin finally told him to leave momma alone and let her sleep. Eventually both of my grizzly bears were taking a nap with me too. I got up thinking I had lots of energy again and now I am just resting in the chair on here and have a slight headache. I hope my energy picks back up by the time baby boy decides to make his appearance.

We are back home in Alabama! Shew...Riley had a rough time here and there while we were gone from home. He also got a runny nose and cough while we were down there. Out of his element and getting sick really throw a 20 month old off. We hadn't been home an hour and he was already acting VERY happy to have his home, toys, and cartoons back! He did pretty good with so many new things all at once. One thing that I learned is that I truly don't understand that if and when a child whines and pulls away from someone trying to introduce themselves that the child doesn't like that please stop. I am NOT saying that I let my child be rude but can you not tell when a child would rather you just say hi from a slight distance instead of touching them? Or how about can you tell they are tired and cranky and don't like it either? Once again, I don't approve of my child being ugly towards someone but when they have already touched or tried once and he makes it clear he doesn't like it...why would you keep making him fuss and squirm in his momma or daddy's arms? Sorry, for ranting but this happened one too many times while in FL. I ended up trying to get onto my child for it and I didn't quite feel that was totally fair when he doesn't talk and doesn't know how otherwise to communicate that he would like you to stop doing that. Anyway.....
I am so happy to be back so I can sleep in my own bed. I am so thankful that my ILs and friends had beds for us to sleep on while we were traveling but there is nothing like being in your own bed.
While we were in Trenton...it was the first time that all of the cousins had been all together in one place since Joslyn was born in August. So we were able to finally get a cousins picture taken. But we will have to take another one at Christmas because baby boy #2 for us will be here by then. Family pictures were great and we will have to update that one at Christmas again too. :) I am glad we were able to get one done this time though.
If you weren't able to be at lectures this week if you can somehow listen to the womens lectures I HIGHLY recommend it! Mrs. Liz Roberts did a great job talking about the women in Christ's life. She really made me think this week. Thanks to my husband for taking Riley during that lecture so I could go everyday without distraction!
Ok well I guess I could probably think of more to talk about but for now my mommy/prego brain isn't thinking so to bed I go very soon. :)

I had an appointment today. Dr. H says baby boy is heads down. YAY! I am so excited. Please pray that he stays that way.
Had an unmedicated birthing class tonight for 3 hours and we really enjoyed that. We felt like we knew a lot of it which just makes me feel like we have done our homework. :)
Now for a late night of packing and getting up in the morning to travel to FL. WOOHOO! We are so excited to see family and go to lectures.
