I feel so blessed

I feel so blessed to be a stay home mom. I have been a stay home mom for about a year and a half now, but I do not think I have ever said how blessed I feel to have that opportunity. I am so grateful, that I get to spend all day, everyday with my wonderful daughter. I am so happy that I can meet with my great friends and their kids during the week, and I am glad that I get to take Payton to do fun things during the week. (This week we went to lunch, shopping, to the zoo, and to a cookie exchange party).

I feel like I have been so stressed out the past several months, that I have forgotten how blessed I am to get to see her so much. Sure we have our rough days, or rough weeks, but at the end of everyday I am so happy to have her in my life. At times I wonder if I have the patience to have more kids, but I think that is because I forget to look at all the good things my daughter does, instead I think I tend to focus on all the trouble she gets into.
So today is a new day and I have a new attitude, which I hope stick around for a while. I really am so blessed to have a husband that wants me to be a stay home mom as much as I want to be one, and a husband that works hard so we have this opportunity. I am blessed to have a wonderful mom that loves her granddaughter, and is willing to have us over during the week, and is willing to watch Payton for me, when I need to make phone calls for work. And lastly I am so blessed to have great friends that know just how you feel and are always willing to talk.

Payton's New Pictures

Here are Payton's two year old pictures. They were so cute I decided I had to buy more then just one, so of course I spent way to much money, but I guess that is part of life. Along with Payton turning two we have also moved out of our house and hope to close on the sale of our house this week. Payton also lost her pacifier (she dropped it in the car) on Thanksgiving, so she is now a big girl that goes to sleep without a pacifier (yeah). besides moving we have not done much. It is harder then I thought it would be to leave our first house behind and move in with family, but we are doing okay. I think that I will feel much better after our house officially closes.

In the mean time I have several boxes that need to be unpacked and several projects I want to complete before Christmas, so wish me luck.
