pondering.

We got to see Jeremy for about a hour and a half tonight in between school and his departure for a scouting campout this evening. I always get a little worried about doing overnight by myself with the kids since I really need my sleep and Jeremy is always the one that gets up with the kids at night (he's the greatest, what can I say?) So far tonight the kids have been amazing! We had a yummy dinner of Scooby-doo Mac & Cheese... popped some popcorn and watched an episode of my favorite new kids show together... These little characters on the new PBS show Super Why! are my favorite! This show is amazing... it teaches the kids letters, sounds, how to put words together... I could go on. I think it's the best thing ever created for children's television. You should check it out if you haven't already. It's Gracie's new favorite as well... she'll come to me and say, "Momma... can we watch a show about Super Why?" It's adorable.
----------------------------------------------
It's nights like these that I get to pondering about how grateful I am for my husband and all that he does for me. It's tough being alone with the kids without the help of 'fun daddy'. It also makes me grateful for my sweet kids. They are so easy going it's not even funny sometimes. I am so blessed to have such amazing children. It also gets me thinking about my Heavenly Father and how mindful He is of me. I am one out of millions of His children and I can feel Him with me on nights like this. I know that He is watching over me tonight while my sweetie is away and I am so lucky to have that knowledge in my life. Hopefully things will go this smoothly until tomorrow when Jeremy gets home!

Rochelle,
I want to know how you are so dilligent with keeping up your blog??? I started one with the intention for updating it at the least weekly. It's a struggle to even do that. And, your blog is so REAL. I love reading it. I am SO also in love with Super Why. What a fantastic show. Noah is in love with it. He even plays the games on pbskids.org. I feel like he's really learning his letters from this show. I hope they never cancel it. --Melissa Kiser

Absence really does make the heart grow fonder. Or at least, it makes us realize how much others do for us, and how much we enjoy being with them. Life is not always perfect, but being truly happy despite the circumstances is what really matters. I love the song "I Am A Child of God" because it has never meant so much to me as it does now that I am a mother.
