The Next Chapter

Wow!  I can't believe it has been so long since I have posted on this!  Thanks for busting me out this summer Blakeley!  Well this first post back I guess will be a short update to what has been going on here.  And hopefully I will be updating it alot more from now on.

Well, first off the kids are doing great Wyatt will be 5 years old on September 3rd.  (I can't believe that!) and Lilly is 2 1/2 years old.  Wyatt is all boy!  He loves to go camping, hunting, fishing, swimming, anything outdoors, and anything rough!  Little Miss Lillian is my priss pot.  She loves anything girly!  She has to carry her purse around everywhere she goes (with at least 2 cell phones in it), loves to play dress up, princesses, painting her nails, and changing at least 4 times a day.

I have had a lot going on in the last couple of months.  I decided not to go back to work, so I am at home full time now.  We put down new floors, so our house has been under construction the last couple of months.  On June 1st, I fell at the river after kayaking with the family and broke my left arm.  And now I am adjusting to staying home with the kids full time.  I have to say though, through all of this my faith has deepened and I have had to learn I cannot do everything and I will need to ask for help at sometimes.  I really feel that I am where I need to be, doing what God wants me to do.

Thomas is doing well.  He is working very hard at work.  He is working a lot of overtime to make up for me not bringing home a paycheck.  Thomas is being very supportive of me doing what I want to do, which is staying home with the kids.  so between working on the house and work at Nissan he is a very busy man.

I hope to document our time at home on this blog and be able to look back and see the fun things we did.  I have a lot planned for this year.  Wyatt will be starting soccer in the next couple of weeks and Lilly will be starting dance classes.  I have joined a Bible study for moms at our church that will start soon as well.  I am also still teaching a older 3year old Sunday School class at church.  Stay tuned for the next chapter in the Adventures of the Motts.

  1. Yay, I'm definitely staying tuned for your next chapter! I'm happy that you have a sense of peace about staying at home, and it sounds like it's off to a great start.
