First day of school.....
Brock was so excited for his first day back to preschool!! I was a little worried that he was going to feel unsure going into a new year with all new friends, but the little sweetie was so excited and loved every single one of them! I love his teacher almost as much as he does! she is so cute with them and provides the most creative environment! we carpool with the most adorable little girl that just moved into our neighborhood. Her name is kate and they have so much fun together!!
I can't bring him out of his shell and i can't make him say please and thank when he needs to and i can't make him wash his hands every time he touches something icky... but i can teach him and be an example and hope his little sponge brain absorbs it!! I'm so proud of him! 
baby GIRL onesies....
Okay, so i was SO excited to make these onesies! my neighbor is having a baby GIRL...after having 3 boys... and so i couldn't wait to make her something with bows!! It was so fun to make something for a little GIRL! I literally had to restrain myself from making tons and tons of things for her!! I'm sure this is the reason why i was blessed with 2 little boys!! my little girl would be so decked out with bows and who knows what else.... So i hope she loved them as much as i do!
Happiness....
This quote really speaks to me I really needed to be reminded of this idea of happiness. There have been times in my life when it was up to me to choose it. Then even more up to me to continue to seek it. I love the reminder to keep praying even after the crisis has passed--another note to self.
"I keep remembering one of my Guru's teachings about happiness. She says that people universally tend to think that happiness is a stroke of luck, something that will maybe descend upon you like fine weather if you're fortunate enough. But that's not how happiness works. Happiness is the consequence of personal effort.
You fight for it
strive for it
insist upon it
and sometimes even travel around the world looking for it. You have to participate relentlessly in the manifestations for your own blessings. And once you have achieved a state of happiness, you must never become lax about maintaining it, you must make a mighty effort to keep swimming upward into that happiness forever, to stay afloat on top of it. If you don't you will leak away your innate contentment. It's easy enough to pray when you're in distress but continuing to pray even when your crisis has passed is like a sealing process, helping your soul hold tight to its good attainments."
