The first day

Morning started with me waking up at 6am, instead of when my alarm was set to go off at 6:30. I played on the ipad for a bit then got up to make pancakes. First day of school deserves something more than cereal right?!!


These little guys were waiting for them - pancakes with bananas and peaches, yum is right! 





I was surprised when Olivia was the first to come downstairs. She's usually the one who sleeps in the latest. Most mornings not waking until after 8:30 but she was so excited. She told me she just couldn't sleep. Then she was sent to wake up the boy. She woke him quickly by telling him the bus was here, silly girl!!


Having football the night before makes for a tired boy early in the morning. 


They were so excited they could barely eat. Usually these kids can eat 2 pancakes but on yesterday they couldn't even finish one. Talk about excited kiddos. 

OH boy, was this little lady not so excited about waking up so early. 


And then the traditional first day of school pictures:


Because a little girl needs a braid and ribbon the first day :]






Dad of course did his hair





My twinies - time just goes by so quickly. So quickly. I don't think parents every truly get over fast time goes with children. Even when you try and soak it all up it seems to flash by in the blind of an eye.


And of course had to have one with lil sis.


Waiting at the bus stop for bus #4


And there they go.


Big stuff.
I waited until they pulled away before I allowed the tears to flow over.
But they did.
I stopped them shortly after getting inside.

Hello if you don't know me I'm Katie I {obviously} blog here and you can find my instagram & twitter ---> Two things in my bag: 1. My cute little notebooks I found at Target and a variety of pens. I love pens. No seriously, you should see my pen + sharpie box.  2. My phone. I am a HUGE picture taker. I love taking pictures and using all the fun picture apps and posting pictures. If you love taking pictures come find me, we can have some instagram fun!!!  Two things I'm looking forward to: 1. Hugs & coffee with friends. Friends I've never technically met. Friends that I will never forget, that will be hard to leave, that just get me. 2. Learning. Learning more about who I am. About the amazing way God created me as a woman. Learning from all these wise women that live with realness and grace. Being filled with His word. See you in 2-ish weeks!!!

Winter

Winter. It's cold. And in Ohio, so dreary. Lacking of the sun. Or the ability to play outside and feel the warmth on your skin. Days stuck inside. And it all starts to weigh heavy. My spirit goes down the drain. The heaviness on my shoulders & in my heart seems to be slowly crushing me. But I won't stop the struggle. I won't give up & let it eat me alive. The panic attacks that leave me breathless. The numbness. And then the crying. It will all pass. It always passes. But in the middle when the struggle is real I'm thankful for people who speak life into me, God's closeness, being able to receive that warm blanket of His word, hot coffee & making out with my husband, hey, let's get real, making out helps.
