What a week!

The week started out good; yet by Wednesday I started to feel another cold coming on! Thursday and Friday I felt miserable! Needless to say, there wasn't much going on at our house. Saturday I felt the best I had in a few days and was missing some quality time the kids; so, we took a bike ride to the park. I walked so I could help Preston up all the hills. The weather was nice- sunny and close to 60 degrees. We enjoyed the beautiful fall colors, stopped at the park to play for awhile, collected different colored leaves, and the boys were fascinated with the ladybugs that were everywhere! We finally made it back home after a trillion pit stops for water drinks. Preston was getting very tired. When we got home I made Preston a grilled cheese sandwich and while eating it he fell asleep on the the bar stool. It was so cute. He heard me laughing and mumbled half awake "what I do". I picked him up and held him for awhile as he slept before I laid him down. I know I will not have to many more moments to just hold him while he sleeps. He's getting so big and really maturing lately. Lately, I've been in the baby mood, I would like to have one more child; however, Jeff doesn't feel quite the same way as I do. So, we will pray about it for several more months because it would be nice to get pregnant in May so the baby is due in Feb. That way I can just take the rest of the school year off or close to it. If it happens than it was meant to be, only time will tell! This reminds me, Friday it was just the boys and I ( Jeff was helping Steve on his bathroom), we were looking through old photo albums- which only makes me want a baby more by he way- and I pointed out a picture where Austin was holding Preston when he was 3 or 4 months old, they both just woke up and looked so cute. Well, they were both standing next to me and Preston looked up to his big brother and give him a hug, it was so sweet! Later that night out of nowhere Austin looked at me and said, "You're the best mom ever!" it was good to hear after feeling like I had not been much fun for the past few days! Back to Saturday, after church the Fisher's came over for pizza and the kids had a great time playing with Molly and each other! To say "a great time" is probably putting it mildly, they just had a blast! Running around, getting the dog, just being kids. So, since we went to church last night, we will try to relax and have a fun family day together!
