Little Men

I know I already posted today, but I took a few more really cute shots and I wanted to share :) First off I want to thank Pam again for surprising us with a package. Noah loves his new truck and Mommy loves Tristan's new clothes!

I let Tristan lay on his blanket today. Noah took this as an open invitation to lay down next to him and give him hugs and kisses. Tristan instinctively always has that little fist swinging around. Well, Noah thought he was hitting him in the face on purpose and he was cracking up. He would laugh really loud and say "YOU GOT ME!" and roll away and then roll back for another shot to the face. It was too cute :) Of course I had to eventually put a halt to this madness because Noah was so loud he was kinda freaking poor Tristan out.

Also... I'd like to confess a little weakness of mine. While Josh was home we totally got addicted to "Top Chef" on Bravo. The live finale was just on and I must say I'm pretty disappointed. I really wanted Dale or Casey to win. I was so sad for Casey... she knew she wasn't going to win and she had to stand there and suffer though the judging anyway, poor girl. Although in my head I know that Hung was the better chef and should have won, as he did, my sentimental girlie side wanted them to choose the more personable and creative chefs.

Mark always tells me, "Brit,it's your blog.You can post as many times as you want to!"

and I do! :)hehe

I am very,very busy.I guess it's just a matter of how badly you want to document things in your life.I always make time just cuz I love blogging :)It only takes me like 10 minutes!

My guilty pleasure shows are teeny bopper shows."The Hills","Gossip Girl" and "Americas Next Top Model".Although I love this new show "Life".I don't only watch cheesy shows I swear!

I don't get Bravo though so I've never seen the chef show,but I'm sure I would like it too!

I love your little one socked man!Ember always kicked her socks off until she got some little chubberoo ankles!

Oh and Ava loves to have tickle fests with Ember.Ember plays with Avas hair now & she loooves it.Ember has accidentally smacked Ava & Ava says "Heeey!"& looks at me like "Moooom,she hit me!" haha
It's so sweet to see them interact though.Pretty soon Tristan will be giggling as Noah dances for him :)

I'm so glad you are able to get out with the kids now, Allie. It's good for Noah too. The pictures are so cute. I'm glad you keep this blog up so long distance grandma can see what's going on.

Allie Update

Though I have been depressed, life is trudging on. I had my 7mo baby appointment and everything is right on track. I'm 28wks and 5 days along. My belly is a whopping 29cm. I didn't get any guff about losing a little weight. My blood pressure wasn't high this time. My sugar test came back normal. I've got a little sciatica so the doc gave me some stretches to try out. She also suggested I finally cash in those 2 prenatal massage certificates I got for my birthday. Other than that, everything looks good. Noah got to press the button to find the baby's heartbeat. He loves this doctor, she always includes him. My friend Brandon, kind soul that he is, showed up yesterday to mow my lawn. He didn't just mow, though. He brought all his own equipment, including gas... he edged and weed whacked and blew all the clippings away. He went over the lawn twice so that everything would be mulched up pretty well. I couldn't believe how nice my yard looked. I

Victim Triangle

Image
Thought I would share this on here since I've shared it with at least 3 people individually at this point.  I've been working on  establishing and maintaining healthy personal boundaries  so any instance in my life where I have unhealthy boundaries have been really obvious.  Still not great at dealing with those instances, but I'm getting better all the time.  While I'm working, this keeps popping up at different times to illustrate my inter/intra-personal communication cycles that need to be broken. https://www.karpmandramatriangle.com/ The hardest part for me has been recovering from taking responsibility for everyone's emotional state.  I would feel immense pressure to involve myself in other peoples' triangles, thinking I had to play the mediator role.  I would get intense feelings of anxiety, thinking about their expectations of me to fix their relationship... or feel it was my duty to point out if I saw an issue (without ever being asked or expected

Enough Planning, More Doing

I've been researching, reading about, diving into, writing about, and thinking about building confidence and self-trust for about 8 years now. It's time to get more intentional and active about it. I think I'm ready to move into that phase finally. I have a tendency to take in information and keep mulling it over, writing and expounding upon this that and the other, but now it's time for an actual plan. An action plan. I understand the problem as much as I can from the outside looking in. Now it's time to create learning opportunities: to make mistakes and deal with the consequences or to achieve something and deal with the praise. That's the next phase of learning... doing . So today I am creating a specific list of tasks that I have to do in the months ahead that specifically target insecurities and seek to force me to deal with the reality of those insecurities. The goal is to be able to build resilience  by proving my old voices wrong with a stack of accompl
