Balance.

One little word that carries so much weight in my life! I went to our blog today and realized very quickly that balance doesn’t mean that everything gets a fair shake. For me, at this time in my life, it means that I have to balance the things I have on my plate on a daily basis. It means learning to balance the never-ending-to-do list, with the things-I-really-want-to-do list. It means taking a look at what’s necessary, would be nice to do, and what is absolutely not a priority in a given day and accomplishing what I can from there.

So in looking at my blog, I realized that lately, in the balance rotation, this (my blog) has slipped to the “that’d be nice to have more time to work on” department. 28 days into a month…and I have 1 post to show for it. Maybe it's more of a "fallen off the radar completely" category?? But, I’ve never wanted this to be a part of that category for me. It’s been such an amazing way to track our family life. So in the spirit of balancing (and in other words) prioritizing, this Momma is going to get her bootay off the couch…or well…turn off the Netflix at least and fire up the laptop…and get back into the habit.

I appreciate anyone out there who reads…being patient with my lack of ability to balance, prioritize, whatever the proper term is. I’m going to once again attempt to catch things up here…and get into a more solid habit of putting together posts!

While I get my wits about me…here’s a couple pics from a family photo shoot we just did around Cooper's birthday! 

**And while I'm at it... a quick shout out. For Cooper's 1st birthday we decided to have pictures done with Metropolitan Picture Company.  Check our her blog here also.  Sherry is amazing and so fun to work with! The boys loved her and we were instantly at ease and had lots of fun taking these photos :) Enjoy a quick glance at just a few of my favorites!
