I've Seen Better Days

It is easier to write about things after you've let them muddle in your mind for a few days. We had a major disappointment this week and it clouded my thinking.

When things start to look like they are turning around for the better it is easy to get caught up in the joy of those moments. So when calamity strikes again, the let down is almost greater than before.

Plainly speaking, our week unfolded as such:

We bought a 2nd vehicle
We did not want to spend money on another vehicle, but with Aidan starting preschool, Seth unable to get consistent rides to work, and his commute being about 35-40 min. now, we were forced into making that decision
The vehicle we bought broke down
The vehicle we bought was a lemon and we lost all our money
No one was available to give Seth a ride to work
Our van's check engine light came on (thankfully it was nothing major)
Aidan started preschool
We began searching for another vehicle

This week has been rough. I haven't felt like blogging. We have felt stressed with all the little details of our lives and the huge hassle it was to find transportation for everyone.

But the sun will come out tomorrow and Nora will be turning 1! Yippee!

Speaking of which, I just love that girl. She has such a funny personality.

This is what I found in our kitchen the other day: doll stroller with a car, bottle of nail polish, and 2 puzzle pieces. She is one for gathering things and putting them in drawers, under the stove, in her stroller etc... I think it is so funny.

Love that she can now walk and that she can use those little snack catchers!

And this is my all-time favorite face she makes! Hilarious!
