What?? A new post in less than a month?!

The other day, I was overwhelmed with what a gift my children are, and how tomorrow is never guaranteed. Intially I was overwhelmed with just how fragile everything is.... then I had this realization.
I strive for a clean house, everything in it's place, maximizing the use of the space we have and the need for cleanliness. Don't get me wrong, there is a value in each of these, but then I began to wonder if my need for these things and my striving to maintain these things was going to leave my children with the impression that I loved a clean house more than them.
This shocked me, never would I want my children to have the impression that they were secondary to anything other than God or their father.
Since this occured, I have had so much less stress, it's amazing. I'm concerned about the house, but I've been able to put it into perspective for myself better. I'm sure I've rambled on about all this before... but for some reason it's really cemented with me this time. I'm either too hard headed or I'm flighty for me to have to come to a full understanding of this.. now... but at least it FINALLY happened :)

So, rambling aside....
How bout those pictures? haha
