My Bliss

Matt is out of town, my kids think they have run of the house, trying to keep up with work, training for a marathon, dirty clothes..... but at the end of the day all I can think about is how blessed I am. Tonight I was able to take the monkeys to the beach to watch one of Erie's amazing sunsets. It was so nice to just sit and watch my kids find joy out of putting their feet in the water, throwing rocks in the lake, and chase birds in the sand. Not quite sure what I did to deserve them. Sometimes I feel like the wicked witch because I yell at them all day long. I am sure Jack thinks his name is "No" or "Stop it". They truly are my bliss and I love them more than I can express in words. Here are a few pictures of my blessings enjoying life.

Gorgeous Michelle! I would LOVE to sit back and watch my kids enjoy themselves together... but right now I'm the nasty mom saying "get off your brother!" or "stop hitting!" Ahhh, some day they will love each other.

Michelle- I can so relate. When I put my kids to bed and I'm done yelling, I too think what did I do to deserve them?
Your pictures are amazing, seriously gorgeous. Keep it up with all the training, I definitely know that it is brutal!
