Elizabeth at 5 Months

"Lizzy-Bethy"

Out of all the nick names you could use for Elizabeth, that's the one everyone in the house uses but me, I blame Dustin ;)

Sweet Elizabeth is five months now, and I would say she is pretty mobile, she can't crawl, but she can scoot a few inches in any direction, and if something is far away she rolls over to get there. She is one smart kid, and loves to be where the party is. She still isn't good with naps, we have a loose schedule still. My kids just don't sleep, it's a curse we seem to have; and she doesn't like to be put down for very long so I almost get nothing done during the day, it's a good thing she is cute.

She's been our biggest baby so far, and she has the best baby rolls and I'm enjoying them! So loves her blankets and her toes and her sweet spirit just adds so much to our family.

Crazy, Busy Year

Two weeks ago Dustin started teaching school and he also started working on his master's. And for some reason my art and photography have picked up, so we will be relying a lot on the Lord this year.

I'm so proud of Dustin, I know this is going to be a very hard year for our family and to be honest on our relationship. Dustin's program is a year program so it's pretty intense, it's twenty hours a week, plus working full time as a teacher, as well as being a father and husband. Week nights and Saturdays are dedicated to his master's, I'm trying to be supportive since I'm the one that pushed him to do it so I try not to complain when he can't help out as much, but I'm gonna be honest it's hard trying to do my commissions while having young ones. I'm hoping my work slows down in the next month or two.  I feel like I can't complain too much when I see what's going on around the world, we are truly blessed. 

And of course, cute pictures of my kids!
