This is a home where children live...

There is so much to update but life has been in full swing over the past week. I'll be back soon but today we have to go to an Easer Egg Hunt and get ready for that bunny that's coming to town.

This is my last week as regular full time at work! Tomorrow will be my first day as BAYLOR!!!
Yea for five days off EVERY week! Whew! Our family needs a full time mom for sure!

SO having worked my regular three days this week and now plus Sunday, having two baby showers, and doing all the regular stuff in between, our home looks like a tornado has blown through. I keep passing by the little piles of mess and going about the more important things and knowing that (very very soon) this too shall pass. I refuse to let it stress me out (just promise not to come visit us in the next two days:).

This poem is where I'm letting my mind settle today:

This is a Home Where Children Live

You may not find things all in place,
Friend, when you enter here.
But we’re a home where children live,
We hold them very dear.

And you may find small fingerprints
And smudges on the wall.
When the kids are gone, we’ll clean them up,
Right now we’re playing ball.

For there’s one thing of which we’re sure,
These children are on loan.
One day they’re always underfoot,
Next thing you know, they’re gone.

That’s when we’ll have a well-kept house,
When they’re off on their own.
Right now, this is where children live,
A loved and lived-in home.

The poem is GREAT--->very suiting for you and your family:) Happy for you now that you won't be working full-time, and I'm sure you will enjoy the extra time you get with the girls, and the little one that's on the way! By the way, when is your due date? And, if you are in G'ville and have some extra time, I would LOVE to see both you and Jaime (i can finally look at her blog-Ella is an absolute doll, and looks just like Jaime). You can email me (brandyjones98@hotmail.com), message me on FaceBook (i don't know how much you mess with FB, but i'm on there at least every other day), or give me a call sometime (582-2675). All my info. is on my FB profile. I know you stay busy, but if you find yourself with an hour (or 10 minutes) to spare next time you're in town, give me a call and we'll plan lunch or dinner or something:) Sound okay?! Hope to hear from you soon! Happy Easter, God Bless, and I love you sweetie! All my Love.....Brandy
