Photo August

Emily runs to her Daddy and with a very frustrated tone she says “I’ve tried this water and that water and my pool, but Jesus won’t walk on them!”

We were going to take the plastic Jesus away, but it kinda helps us understand how Emily thinks about God, what she learns at Sunday school and what things really need to be better explained to her like how Jesus isn’t a toy. I’m hoping I’m not being sacrilegious.

I’ve decided to follow the Informal Matriarchs lead and chillax for August, but I’m going to do it a bit different. I’m starting by not updating my twitter or facebook all the time. As for my blog I think I’m going to blog once in a while, but mostly photoblog unless Em does something really funny. Speaking of funny, I was carrying Avery in the Snugli and pushing Em in the Stroller and a Lady walked by us and said: “Oh, you’re carrying a baby, I just thought you had really big Boobs!” Why you would say that, I don’t know…

I’m pretty sure I’m having Post Partum Depression again after having Avery. I’m sure I did after Emily too, so if I blog about anything I might blog about that. I think blogging about what stuff you are going through is healthy to help you understand yourself and maybe encourage someone else. So if you see me, tell me it ok to relax and just enjoy my girls and my summer without cramming it full of things that need to be done. I’m doing my best not to jump right into everything that I used to do. When I get too busy I get stressed and anxious and I forget to just be. I know I don’t have enough patience for Emily when I’m like that either. The last few days have been alot better. I didn’t think I had time to go to Loon Lake, but I booked it and went anyways, and it was fantastic for me to relax and let go of the day to day stuff. Then when I got home I decided to make a conscious effort to slow my life down and find ways to meet my needs emotionally, spiritually, and physically. So now I start every morning with a shower and take 10 minutes to get my head in the right space before taking care of my tiny tots. I think that’s helping alot! Anyways. AV is waking up and none to happy, so I’d better go get her.

Oh! and I get to meat Prime Minister Stephen Harper next week at a BBQ! Pretty stoked for that!
