thoughts on faith and hope

It has been one of those weeks where you do a lot of cute things and forget your camera each time! Mitchell has a ton of pictures on his phone so when he has time we will have to upload them for everyone to see!

This last week we took a long walk on the green belt with Eli and took him to the park he loves going on walks without the stroller, he is definitely a big boy now!

I worked on a project this last week. I made one of those sunbeam mirrors. I think I still might add some more "beams" to it but for now I am going to hang it up. It is for Eli's room which I am currently working on; it has a nautical feel so it fits right in perfectly.
 Eli is so active he spent a lot of time last week scaring mommy by climbing up anything and everything. I finally rearranged the furniture to make a few less places he can fall from and to make it easier to see him when he runs around everywhere.

Another thing I did this last week was a lot of journal writing. I had a very hard time because last week I started to feel really fatigued again. Pregnancy joys. I had been feeling like i had plenty of time before baby #2 and now that I am extra fatigued I am getting even less done then usual; let alone all of the extra things I want to do before we have another baby. That being said I am so grateful, for my husband Mitchell he is so wise and kind he never complains when I fall short he always helps me to be positive and move forward.

You know those days where you’re tired but past the point of sleeping? I had one of those last week and it was not great in the end I get very emotional when I am tired. I had such hard time because I decided that day since I was too fidgety to sleep that I should skip my nap and go over the future budget in greater detail. Stupid idea. I ended up panicking because the numbers just don’t add up. I was feeling like everything is going to be awful and that we will starve and etc…. on and on. Totally forgetting to have faith, I am so glad that Mitchell was able to remind me that when you pay your tithing and work hard then you can always make it.   I am so grateful to have the gospel in my life to give me peace when I am stressed.  Hope is something that I think we can easily lose sight of when we worry if we are not careful but faith and hope go together and can boay us up in hard times.

We love and miss everyone especially Cousin Connor!
