Missing so much
I don't post many photos on here. Writing is sometimes difficult on this blog for some reason. When I started it seemed like such an easy thing to do. Easy to update, easy to post, but oh, the time gets away from me. I would love to BLOG and I would love to scrapbook. I would love to bake. I would love to sew, but the time it takes to do these things. My baby is nearly 7 months old and still nursing quite often. I will blame it on nursing, but I feel like I hardly get much done these days. One day . . . all the laundry will be done and I'll get there without having to stop after 20 minutes because Natalie is crying. It's hard right now. I know it'll get better. Patience!
So there is quite a lot missing here. Many little accomplishments along the way.
Natalie is almost sitting by herself, babbling, and rolling around and pushing herself around. It's exciting. Lucy is talking more and really starting to make sense! Today she counted her m & m's and did perfect! She is soooo pretty. I wish she didn't whine as much, but she is very sweet. Noah is loving all day, every day school. He is learning so much and doing very well. I am proud of him. He is such a good boy! Landon is really a good reader. I can't believe how he went from basic words to 3 and 4 syllable words in no time. I have no idea how he did this. It's crazy! I love it! But it's really crazy!
And they are all growing like weeds. I absolutely LOVED their school pictures this year. Landon missing his two front teeth and sticking his tongue right out in the hole! Lucy and her beautiful hair. Noah just being Noah. Great smile, perfectly messed up hair. Love it!
We were hoping to get some pictures done for Christmas with Natalie sitting up, but it hasn't happened thus far. I keep thinking it's coming! :) We'll see.

4 months old . . .
She's four months old, and I am in LOVE! I love her smiles, her coo's, her smell, her giggles. I love it all! I just can't get enough. I love holding her. I love the way she looks. She reminds me of each one of my children in some way. She is amazing! God has given me a true blessing!
Time is passing so fast, but it's so good.
She's a trooper. She loves her brothers and her sisters. She is so smiley. I really can't get enough. I wish I could hold her and cuddle with her all day long! I look at her and think who could want any less for their life. A child, this pure little gift that God entrusts us with to mold. I look at her and can't imagine what life has in store. It's gonna be interesting! It's gonna be real!
I know that I can't go at it alone. Matt and I can't raise these beautiful children alone. We need the grace that flows from the Almighty.

Right Now
Just a quick little blurb for now! Feeling extremely blessed with little Natalie Morgan. She is absolutely beautiful! I look at her and marvel at God's handiwork. WOW!
It's been very hot. Hot weather means this little momma is indoors most of the time. Four kids inside most of the day can drive you a little nuts. I am trying not to sweat the small stuff, curb the fighting, and keep the kitchen kind of clean. It's snack time 24/7. Well not really 24/7, but more like 13/7! Yes, for the whole 13 hours they are awake they would love to be eating. Landon is my skinny child and he eats more junk food than the other two! My kitchen floor was washed on Monday or Tuesday (the days sort of run in together with a newborn) and it looks like it hasn't been washed in weeks.
Indoor play is filled with more than food needs. There is the constant "mom-ing." Sometimes my reply is met with a giddy smile and other times more like a whine-cry! Yesterday I noticed that there are on about 45 days left of summer. I am all about making the most of it. However, duty with a newborn is calling!

You know you're a mom when . . .
You know you're a mom when you start taking fashion and hair advice from a 6 year old. Honestly, I was getting ready to head out the door, looked in the mirror and said outloud, "I hope I look okay." My 6 year old responded, "Mom you look great!" And that was that! I was pleased, and that was good enough for me. There are times when running errands and going to the grocery that I think to myself, "Who am I trying to impress anyway?" The truth is no one. I am happily married with 5 children. The only ONE I need to impress is the Lord. I do struggle with that. Don't we all!
Back to my point, in my dash to get out the door, my 6 year old made my day and his opinion was the only opinion I needed right then!
That night when getting ready for bed I told my husband about my little experience. He laughed a little and smiled, "You're a MOM!" That's right; I'm a Mom!

Waiting
I have spent the entire day waiting on people. I waited all morning for someone to show up. It didn't happen. I waited this evening for someone to call. It didn't happen. I try to be patient, but I have to wonder, "What's up with this?"
The situation this morning was just rude. This person has me waiting all the time. I am at a point where I've got to do something about it, but I don't want to cause problems. I am not angry. I am just pointing out that it can hurt people's feelings when someone doesn't follow through. It makes me remember how important it is to follow through.
My husband used to wait for this one friend to "go out." My husband would wait for an hour or two, and sometimes his friend would not even show. I watched this time and time again. We both came to the conclusion that it was best to just meet his friend at the location, and if he didn't show no big deal. There were other people there that he could talk to and sometimes he'd wait a little while and just come home. Unfortunately, I am already at home wondering if the person will even show up. I feel like I can't leave, but it does cause me to spend less money!
