Left to Tell...


So I finished reading this book called Left to Tell. I loved it. Its about a girl that lives in Rwanda and is in the middle of a genocide going on where they slaughter people who are of her tribe. She hides in a bathroom 3ft by 4ft with 6 other women. What she goes through is remarkable. Some of the topics are her relationship with God, forgivness, and visual motivation. She really has moved me. I wish I could meet her. You must read this book by Immaculee Ilibagiza.

So many more reasons...



They are the reason my house can never stay clean- they are the reason why my stress goes up- they are reason why making a shopping trip to one store is 2 hrs long- they are the reason that I live for. Their smiles, kisses, Ethan's curiosity, Sofie's clingingness to mama. Her twinkle in her eye when she sees me. I love these stinkers.

So we still don't sleep.

We have taken away Ethans naps because our neighbor underneath came a knockin and told us that he was being too loud. Solution then I will take away his naps and now he crashes at 7ish- its way nice. Ethan has too much energy and those naps were not helping. Sofie on the other hand she is waking up every 2 hours. Wesley took a shift last night and right now hes napping. I do this 6 days a week. She did get a tooth so thats good. But what can I say if its not one kid its the other.

I needed my glasses to make sure that I got all the detail.
