I feel like I have a million things to talk about and then again, nothing at all.
My mom has taught Aiden to say "Happy Day" and "Life is Good." Simple but such a great perspective to have. My friend Lindsay recently wrote a post talking about how life IS good. Even when it is hard. I certainly don't have the heartache she does, but sometimes we all forget how good our lives actually are amidst our trials. My trials are simple. We have a new baby. Enough said. We are looking for and trying to buy a house. Stressful. There are others, but those are the big ones! (I know, rough life, huh?) But life is good and we are blessed.
I feel blessed to have faith. That statement has often caught my attention. I know that when I try to have even a little bit of faith, the Lord often gives me more.
I haven't really posted much about Zack. He is doing great. The breastfeeding is getting easier as the weeks go by. He is gaining weight VERY well (10 lbs. 9 oz. yesterday) and he is sleeping better at night. Last night we got 7 hours at one stretch. Pretty good for a 5 week old! I guess now I know why I haven't posted anything... how much else is there to say about a 5 week old???
Aiden is very possessive of him and gets mad at anyone else who "ooo's and ah's" over the new baby. He says "No, that's my baby Zack!" in his brattiest 2 year old tone. He is testing his limits constantly. Always looking over his shoulder to see if I am watching and if I will allow him to do whatever mischevious thing he has in mind. Did I really sign up for this??? I guess so. He and I are going on our first "date" tonight. He has been so cute about it. He keeps saying "Mama, we going on a date!" Jeremy and I went out last week and he wanted to go so bad that I promised him he could go on a date with me later. I am just as excited to spend some one on one time with him.
We are blessing Zack in church on Sunday the 11th of May. That is Mother's Day and I'm excited to do it that day. Sort of a cool Mother's Day gift if you ask me? Normally we'd have done it on the 4th (Fast Sunday) but there is a wedding on the 9th so the family will only have to travel once.
So, those are my thoughts for today. Like I said... Lots, but nothing at all.

You are so sweet. :) I am glad your family is doing well. I think about you guys all of the time. We really should get together next time you are in Vegas. We love reading about your cute boys!
The thing about "trials" is that usually when you hear about other peoples, you're thankful for your own...but in the moment, they're big to you. Let's just say, I'm thankful to not have a newborn baby right now. :) How was your date with Aiden? Where did you go?
