Loving, Living, Surviving the Little Moments

Wow, I never realized how easy it was to set up a blog, or I might have done it a long time ago, but I didn't really think I had anything interesting enough to blog about unless you wanted to hear about poopy diapers and meal time challenges!  I will definitely be one of those who mostly blogs about the funny moments of motherhood so if you like that kind of stuff good, if you don't sorry. 

I had planned on making my first blog about the birth of our baby girl that we are anxiously awaiting any day now, but I figured I might as well learn how to do all this to pass the time.

I wish I could say I thought for hours and hours about what to title this blog, but I am really a fly by the seat of my pants kind of girl and it was the 1st thing I could think of that wasn't already taken! It totally fits this season of my life so I went with it!  There are many days I love life couldn't imagine it any other way, other days I live it halfheartedly, and far to many days lately I have just been surviving it with so much change going on(mostly with my hormones, ha)!  But above all I want to live for all these little moments that are passing way to quickly.  So here is a little about the little moments I want to love! 

My big boy Zeke is 4 years old now, and as fun as it has been to watch him grow these 4 years, there are many little moments I would like to put on repeat for a couple of hours.  Zeke is very passionate about what he is passionate about at the moment. If he is happy, boy is he happy. If he is mad he is raging.  If he is sad oh how he wants you to feel for him.  But the great side of this passionate little boy is because his own feelings are so strong he is very in tune to others feelings to, he cares so much about everyone and everything around him. 

My baby for the time being Titus is 2 1/2 and lives to please, mainly please his brother, but is just as good at aggravating him!  Titus is a pretty even tempered but still 100% boy!  Titus shows no fear, has a desire, to "do it my self Mommy." We secretly call him the "Tazmanian Devil." Because if he is awake he is going a million miles an hour and still tosses and turns and then he is suddenly out asleep. Titus does love to be held and cuddled as long as he can pinch your ear lobes while doing so(he has to be busy with something at all times). In fact both of my boys are cuddlers or should I say all 3 of my boys are because they are alot like their Daddy in that area.  Which brings me to my next subject!

Brandon is my husband who is about as tenderhearted as they come and personality resembles Zeke the most. I would usually say he is a football coach and lives and breathes it, but he actually just resigned to seek new adventures! Which is quite the change for our family, he has played or coached for 25 years, that is about as long as I have been alive! I told him this little girl already has him wrapped around her finger and she isn't even out yet.  He wanted to take a year off to spend more time with us and probably go back the next year.  I will definitely miss the excitement of all the games this fall, and the nervous feeling you feel when your husband is the head coach and all things depend on him, but new adventures we seek, so new adventures we hope to find!

I will probably use this blog to track the little moments I don't want to forget, so I will try to include a little moment to share.
Zeke has been anxiously awaiting his baby sister, and he always knew it was a sister telling us in the ultrasound room at the "reveal."  "I told you it was a sister Silly Rabbit." Anyway, this week he said "Mommy baby sister is not coming out."  I said "she has to sometime." He said well "go, go to the hospital and get her out."  It was a good opportunity to teach him and me about patience and waiting on the Lord.  But oh how I wish it was that easy to just go to the hospital and pick her up;)

Today I am focusing on loving the little moments I have with just me and my boys, because I have been focusing way to much on waiting for this little girl and letting those little moments pass me by surviving.  So here's to living it up and loving the little moments today!!!

Oh and I hate English/Grammar so any of you grammar gurus sorry, periods, commas, correct wording is not my forte, I find it a waste of time, but I will do my best!
