Sigh

I feel like we've been going, going, and going. Our commitments were at maximum capacity as of late (at least I felt like they were), but I'm happy to say that FINALLY it has slowed down! Our 2 dropped "to-do's" were Meals on Wheels and Volleyball. I will miss Meals on Wheels, but we will try our hardest to start back up again in the summer. We've made great new friends with MOW. Volleyball will also be missed dearly but the season is over and we ended 2nd in our league getting sweet new shirts!


We have started attending a HOPE group on Tuesday nights with a bunch of other people that go to our church. We've only had one meeting so far and it was really great and I'm excited to make new friends and read the book Jesus: Seeing him more clearly. I'll let you know how it goes. I'm also reading, The Power of a Positive Mom, for bible study, and it is actually really good so far. I highly recommend it.


I have realized that I'm not one who is good with a lot on my plate. I tend to worry too much about what I have to do next, which leads to anxiety, sleeplessness, and stomach aches. So I'm thankful for the lull in activities. I probably just need to get over it.

Evelyn has learned a new face, and I finally got a good picture of it. It's her fish face and she does it well! She is also all about her necklaces, what a girly girl. I love it!

What's a girl without her jewelry?

Love those Necklaces!

Ha! Fish Face.

I totally understand the feelings when over-commited!! It's hard to say no sometimes, but it's so important to not be too busy. I love love love the fish face. She is so beautiful!!

Awww!!
Love that face. And I love the layout of how her shirt matches your blog layout. Nice, I know... random.

Good job though on priorities and life stuff, stress is not good (ha! I am learning my own advice). Proud of you all! Cannot wait to see the Swidraks one day...

Too cute... I just can't believe how big she is getting. Isn't it so precious watching our little girls get excited about jewelry, bows, and make-up.... I am beginning to think my 1 and a half year old has better taste than I do!
