Here's our girl, trying to fall asleep. ...Whatever happened to me saying that I wasn't going to be one of those moms and always blog about my kid?!? Well, when I'm done at Windy Gap (next Fri. 9/4 is my last day) I think I'll have a lot more time to devote to this with more creativity and depth. Anyway, here's little Charlotte trying to fall asleep for her afternoon nap. I put her in the swing sometimes to try and extend that precious naptime. She had a busy day with her first haircut today--that's right, 6 months old people!
Anyway, we are about to embark on a whole new experience--that of a stay-at-home-mom. My head is filled with thoughts of playdates, a regular naptime, mommy hang-out time, and more sewing and cooking! All of these things I'm excited about about. I have a long list of things that I don't want to be and DO want to be doing. Jeez...The bottomline is --who knows?!? We'll just have to see how we settle in and figure this all out. In the meantime, we're grateful for the chance to do this and the opportunity to trust the Lord for the outcome.
We had some friends over the other night who reminded us about the kind of parents we want to be. His parents told him he only needed to date one girl and that he should be dating with the intent of marriage. I thought "it's one thing to hold those beliefs, it's another to have your kids believe what you tell them"! Chris and I both relish the idea and wish we'd never dated anyone before each other--so much wasted time and energy! Anyway, we hope to instill this in Charlotte's mind when she starts thinking about boys...hmmm parenting :)
