Finding light in the darkness

See the nastiness of the dark clouds? Well, that's how I've been feeling lately. I'm not sure if it's sleep deprivation, a bit of post partum depression, or just life right now, or maybe a combination of it all. Things are not easy right now, and I feel like I'm grasping for, well, just about anything. Finances,work, and health all need some fixing!
The past couple of years have been the first time in my life that I really don't have any really good friends. I have friends but you know that really good best friend you can call just to cry to, laugh with, share moments with, ect. And I am missing that!
As I'm writing this, I can hear the song "Count your blessings" going through my head. I'm really not trying to have a pity party, but am using this more a journal entry. Just as in the picture above, there are breaks in the clouds. My incredible children, my loving husband, my sweet family, and my Saviour. I know in the end I will come out stronger, but man the end is hard to find sometimes!


You're how old???

I can not believe 4 years have gone by since Gavin was born! Gavin, you have changed my world for the better. You truly are the light of my life and I am so grateful that I get to call you my son. You are incredible!


Gavin chose to have his party at Bounce U this year. It is filled for inflatable bounce houses and slides. He had all his friends and family come and bounce the morning away! It was great fun! Here are some pictures:
