It is great to be me!

The balancing act in life is a hard one. Ben is working hard to keep the MSI in the black, so often times I feel like a single Mom. I am not sure if it is the lack of sleep or hormones (maybe both), but last week was a hard week for me. We were planning on blessing ‘P’ (Porter’s new nickname) on Sunday while his parents were in town for a family wedding. So, last week was spent trying to get everything ready for the blessing (my ‘to do’ list along with Ben’s). I got the inside of the house ready during the week and Saturday after a Primary Activity I was going to focus all my efforts of the outdoors. It is really hard to get any outdoor activity accomplished with a newborn and I was not looking forward to it. Anyway, I came home from the activity to find a friend of Ben’s mowing my lawn. Since Ben was going to be building bikes for MSI all weekend he hired his honey do list out! I know that sounds like a silly, but I was so relieved to get it done, even if Ben did not do it!

I spent all day Saturday playing with my kids it was great! The blessing was awesome, and thanks to the help of family it was a stress free event for me. My sister Em said, “Many hands can make a load easier!” Oh is that true! THANKS LADIES FOR BRINGING THE FOOD!

Here are some pictures from this weekend! It is great to be me!!!!
