To Sandy From Julie

Ok, it’s 4am and I’ve already lost one post.  So here goes #2.
Hi Sandy!!  Yep, I’m awake!  For all of you who don’t know my friend Sandy she is a very early riser and knows when I’ve not slept well or stayed up too late by the timely delivery of my email notifications to her Inbox each morning.  She is expecting her first Grandbaby any day now and is excited about being a Grandmom (although she looks barely able to have kids herself!)

My two oldest have started flag football again.  Sandy kept my oldest (pictured below) when he was just a baby and we were new parents wondering how we were going to survive parenthood.  Honestly, me and my hubbie were ready to bribe, pay, or steal anyone who would stay at our house and help with our colic ridden child.  It was HORRIBLE!  We cried when my mom left offering to pay a weeks salary if she would stay longer.  (didn’t work!)

Thank God for Sandy because she came after mom left and stayed up some nights as #1 son cried and cried and CRIED.  I never thought I’d live through those first weeks.  It was amazing to see God help us through other people during that time.  So three MORE kids later and we did survive.  #1 son is now 9 and still our greatest challenge in parenting.

We’re still surviving……..(i think)

Love you Sandy!

#1 Son doing what he loves best….running the football.

#2 son taking time out on the sideline to chew on that mouthpiece.  They all must wear them so head shots are hard.  Everyone seem to be chewing on their mouthpiece when I zoom in for a close up.

Now, back to that thing called sleep.
