This Boy....And I'm Back on Track!
My last post was 1/7/15 and I feel like a whole year has gone undocumented.

Same sweet face and yet he has grown so much!
Zack,
You are the perfect recipe of sweet, sympathetic, polite, funny, wild, crazy, and kind!
I love you more than you know!
A year has gone by and here is where we are now....
You recently started carrying around a Curious George monkey everywhere you go. It's adorable!
You are copying every word your brothers say include: "What the heck.....(fill in the blank)"
"What the heck are you doing?"
"Where the heck are my pants?"
"Where the heck is my breakfast?"
Its hysterical and frightening! We are trying to correct you without busting out with laughter!
You are a great cuddler! You love to snuggle with mommy when you wake up early and I'm trying to squeeze a few extra moments under the covers.
You love chocolate milk, playing puzzles, and dressing yourself. You have also begun surfing Youtube. Which we are so not proud of...but we find it hysterical that you will jump from 1 toy review video to another.
You spend your days at Miss Kim's and Nan's and some days you just hate to leave home...which often leads to tears at drop off. But its adorably cute that before Dad leaves he says, "and remember...." and you finish his thought...."no crying at Miss Kim's!"
Your vocabulary and memory are astonishing. I'm not attempting to predict your future but you surprise daddy and I everyday!
I'm saddened by the fact that I've lost a year on the blog.
Its been busy and not always focused.
Not always breathing in the moment.
Not always finding the happy.
Instead getting easily distracted by schedules, coming and going.
Stressing about details of life that you can't change.
Placing too much emphasis on my level of tired.
Not in the mood to write on the Happy Matters blog.
I didn't take a break, I just didn't force myself when I wasn't feeling it!
Now I'm taking a more active approach to redirecting all my thoughts and actions to find the positive!
Appreciating silver linings!
Recognizing that in the chaos, still breathing in the moment and observing my surroundings will make for many amazing memories.
And with that....Tomorrow is Thanksgiving!
Stay Tuned!
