Busy busy bees.

Man-oh-man have we been busy.  Like head spinning, fighting back tears at times so exhausted, busy.  That's when I know I'm truly tired, because I'm not generally a teary person.  But all great things around here, so no complaints.  And truth be told, my mom got back Thursday.  Everything is just plain easier when she's around.

But little does she know how much we are going to drive her nuts the next few days.  Long story short, we had the interior of the house painted, we love it, but now that the walls look all nice it brings attention to the floors that do not look nice.  So, we're packing up and headed to Gigi's house.  We'll be there Wednesday through Saturday for the hardwoods to be sanded and refinished a lot darker.   Then we can really settle. 

The BIG event for Hardin was starting preschool last week!  He goes two days a week from 9-12:15.  It's hardly even enough time to feed all 10 kids twice, but I think he's really going to love it.  The little church he's going to just makes me smile, and his teachers are wonderfully patient and kind. 

I can't even deal with how cute he is in that back pack prancing off to go to school.  He thinks he's big time. His two year molars are also coming in, he's not happy about that. 

Last but far from least my dear friend Faith lost her daddy, and my mother-in-law lost her beloved brother, Jason's uncle Lee.  My heart has been so heavy for the families.  I've said it before, and I truly believe that one of the worst things about losing a parent is really understanding what is happening to others.  Fortunately, I finally know that peace does follow, and I pray they all get there very soon. 

A good mother would never ever post the last picture, but I'm strange, and I want to remember that face.  I see it so rarely that it really gets to me when I do.  Out of nowhere he got very uncomfortable with our picture taking and he tried to hold back his tears, but couldn't.  As soon as he flashed this look we stopped our mama torture and he was fine.  I think he just got a little overwhelmed with everything going on, sweet boy.  He looks how I was feeling, and his concerned little cousins are too sweet.
