Happiness is...?

...The question I am contemplating alot lately. I am always looking to plan for the future- the next moment, tomorrow, the next week, the effect on my children's psyche in the next 20 years. I can't turn it off, and I feel like I am in a wheel that will never stop turning and I am exhausted.
Stop. That's what I need to do. We only get one life and God has control over our future. I am happy for what God has given me right now and that is what I need to focus on. Otherwise, what else is there but worry and un-certainty in trying to control what I have no control over?
I am happy for being outside walking in this beautiful weather... Right now.

Terrible Twos

This poor girl is really trying to express herself lately.



I'm not sure what she wants, but she definitely knows. She is now getting to the point where she tacks on a new word or two each week, so that should help!
She does have a few redeeming qualities though... ;)






When I kiss her goodnight and tell her I love her she shouts back at me (like 10 times) "I wuuh oooo!". She thinks her bubba is hilarious and repeats his every move- especially if she thinks it will make you laugh. She has no fear of me leaving her anywhere, so the whole "mommy's going to drive away if you don't do what I want" threat is lost on her. She loves play dough (requests start at about 6:30am) and reading- to herself as she wants no part of you narrating the words on the page. And then of course, the dancing- but only to a specific toddler tunes CD. Soon i will get a good video of our dance parties!
My sweet girl.
