life lately...

first of all, i can't get enough of this sweet face

at this very moment there is actually some silence in this house. jakson is up in his bed for a nap and i finally got henry to fall asleep in my arms for a little snooze. it seems like the boys are on opposite napping schedules this week which means that i am going to enjoy the peace and quiet.

so far life with two is crazy fun! there are moments i love and there are moments where i just have to stop and pray for some patience. i know i need to enjoy all of the moments even if i have jakson biting and hitting my leg while i am trying to calm henry down...i need to be thankful for the craziness.

jakson really is such a sweet brother. all he wants to do is love on henry, give him a paci or pat him on the head.

i know he means well, even if his pats start to become more like soft hits. but boy can that kid test my patience. the temper tantrums, the biting, the hitting...ohhh Lord, i know we will get through this, eventually :)


in other news, half marathon training has offically begun. josh was kind enough to run (sike, more like walk/jog) with me the other night. we did two miles and i felt like my body was going to fall apart. yup, i've got a LOT of work to do before this half in november. i am so excited that josh will be doing it with me this time. i love having a running parter, especially when he is my hot hubby ;)

and since we are pushing these guys during our training, the half should be a piece of cake when it gets here!

I hope you all enjoy your weekend. i will leave you with the verse that was my encouragement early this morning...

Create in me a pure heart, O God,

and renew a steadfast spirit within me.

Do not cast me from your presence

or take your Holy Spirit from me.

Restore to me the joy of your salvation

and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.

Psalm 51:10-12
