life

I'd like to tell you I've been too busy to write, which if I was doing everything I should then that'd be the case. but in truth we don't do that much around here. most days are the same. wake up, school, come home, girls take a nap, I do homework or nap, we play or go to thegym or store, supper, then bed, and maybe a little more homework. that's pretty much our life, nothing exciting. not that it's a bad life, just sometimes I feel most people wouldn't care too much for it.

truly there are exciting things, I have to learn to enjoy our days and not just key them pass by without seeing God's beauty and thanking him for it.

sawyer is talking up a storm, and she talks really well, I love cuddling with her every night watching a movie before bed, though she's extremely active she's also very loving. but she's also been a source of frustration for me lately, and see myself losing my temper with her. one she's having a lapse in her potty training, we used to go days without accidents (even at night) and then out of nowhere she was barely using the potty, lots and lots of changing and washing clothes. also she's really been pushing they limits with how far she can take things (not listening, talking rudely, taking things from maisy) I feel like I've had to constantly discipline her, which I really haven't but I know she knows the rules, and I know the discipline works our at least used to. (I'm very consistent so that's why it feels kilter I'm doing it all the time) I don't let her get away with things she knows she's not supposed to do, I know it's just a phase, testing the waters.... but it's frustrating, and somedays are better than others.

maisy is so active, she runs around our house babbling and chasing sawyer. she climbs all over and tries to get into everything. really she is just so funny. she is doing something funny everytime I turn my turn, and she knows it. she tries to make you laugh. just like sawyer she knows she's cute and funny. she's a great baby, very happy and pretty easy going, up until you make her mad that us and then she freaks out! and she screams! so loud, she used to hate bring told no, she's getting better, but swatting her hand and little spanks don't work that well with her like sawyer, so I just walk off and leave her to cry (yes I just let her cry on the floor), she usually gets it and a couple seconds, but not much else works.

as for me classes are going well I really enjoy my classes this semester so that's good. and this semester my roommate has classes at the same time so we switch off who drives which is really nice, and saves money...  I've also started going to t this bible study thing with some girls (most of them from norfolk area) so that's been nice to get out and connect. well I ned to get going, I'll leave you with some pictures
