Since our zoo trip on Monday, this is the only picture I’ve taken.  I was walking (probably running) by the window and the colors stopped me in my tracks.  God sure does paint a beautiful picture, huh?

This week has been one big ball o’ crazy.  Really, it has.  Everyday has had at LEAST 2 appointments/places to be/etc. and most days had more.  Thursday was the biggest juggling act, thankfully Randy was able to help out with that day.  This weekend, we’ve already had dinner with new friends (thanks, Bolt family!).  Saturday is the church BBQ and then Marley, Payton, and Ethan’s first dance that night.  Sunday is church, and then our much-anticipated family photo session that afternoon (no, I don’t have all the clothes yet, thanks for asking).

I’m a bit of a homebody…I like those days with nothing on the calendar.  Nowhere to be, no reason to check my watch.  Those days are rare lately.  And, with Dylan’s surgery looming (4/26, in case you forgot), I can see those “normal” days coming to an end at least for a season.

Looking ahead, Monday is a nothing day.  Whoop!  Can’t say that about the rest of the week, though.

So, all this to say, life ain’t slowing down anytime soon so I’ve just gotta pull the camera out more often to capture these days.  Like the country song says, one day I’ll miss all this.  The house will be quiet, and I won’t have anyone asking me to take them anywhere. I’ll read books, wash MUCH less laundry, drive a vehicle that seats a normal amount of people rather than 11, and will probably go a whole day without wiping up a spill.

These days are hard, I’ll be honest.  But, I wouldn’t trade them.
