This Little Fam of Mine

M + L + A

We are so far from having it all together.

We've had quesadillas and cereal for dinners this week because I didn't want to cook. We haven't been on time for church since having Lydia. We've been known to leave the dishes in the sink for a few extra days. Our laundry room is chalk full of outgrown baby swings and suitcases and old furniture, and I keep saying I'll get around to it and I keep not quite getting around to it. We sometimes skip Lydia's bath and sometimes miss scripture study. We may or may not walk past the full garbage bin and pretend not to see it in hopes that the other person will take it out. We have two separate piles of shoes in our bedroom that have just become part of the decor at this point. We both are always right, which get's tricky when we disagree ;).

(We sound like slobs. I promise we smell okay.)

So I just wanted to paint a picture of the more realistic side of this life you see. The one where we set up the self timer camera on top of our garbage can, smiled for these pics and then raced inside to strip off our church clothes! :)

We are so far from perfect or even just good, but we're tryin! Bit by bit, week by week we're trying to mold our family into the one we've always wanted.

Even if it is a little (lot) messy along the way :).
