So much change.

Our family is going through many changes.  Some positive, like Ashton and Reagan being so loving, and some negative, like the threat of moving, job searching, and Jimmy working so hard that it makes me want to cry.  We're just like almost every American household struggling to survive.  I'm happy to be looking for a job, quite frankly.  I love staying at home with the kids, but I was also born to work.  I think both being a stay at home parent and a working parent has advantages and disadvantages.  Bottom line: parenting is hard; life is hard.  Through all of this, I feel so fortunate to have a loving, hardworking husband and two amazing children.  Without those two things, all of this change would be crippling.

But don't worry.  Our spirits are high and we know this time of uncertainty is short.  So no pity party.  Just enjoy the pictures of our kids.  They're smile-inducing :-D

ABOUT THE PICTURES:

Per a friend's suggestion, I took the kids out on a walk to gather leaves and do a project with them.  They L O V E D it.  It was fun because it was cold and I strapped on their backpacks, so it was an adventure.  

Reagan loves to have her picture taken.  Ashton doesn't mind, but he doesn't do a good job of looking at the camera, so most pictures lack luster.  But here's little peanut brittle cheesin':

Toddler conversations at the hospital.  For some reason, Reagan has inherited Ashton's breathing problems and was wheezing like crazy.  So off to the hospital we go!

Fun visit from our friend Sarah.  She did a great job of wearing out the kids... and herself too.
