Making room....and finding balance!

With the addition of a child comes the shift in balance. After the wonderful joy of this new life comes the great balancing act! Figuring out everyones new role in the family and what is expected of them should be a priority. However it gets put on the back burner. I'm trying to vent and be vaque at the same time. Let me just put it out there.

David stays home with Rylee more than I do. I know that it's hard for him being outside the more masculin role and being Daddy ALL day (I think it's the LONG days that are more difficult). I need to work on being more understanding and less vocal. Everything is a work in progress. It's hard to keep in mind that your relationship, your marriage, is the most improtant thing. Anyone who has been in my shoes knows that that relationship is the hardest to work on. Getting two people to speak the same language and solve problems at the same time is like getting a dog not to chase a cat. It's hard, but possible. At least we have the same goal in mind. That is something to look on the bright side about.

Enjoy these picture of Rylee and me. I'm so proud of the sweet, funny, happy girl she is!! I had a dream that she crawled last night. But everytime she is on her tummy she just gets so mad. I know it's because she KNOWS there is something she could do and it makes her mad that she can't (JUST like her mommy) =)   Lindsay

  2. It's me, again, but a little off topic!

    Anyway, I was wondering have you checked out the What's In the Bible series from Phil Vischer (the creator of VeggieTales)? It's "designed to walk kids and families through the entire Bible".

    I have a free copy of the newest DVD, if you are interested. Go here and leave a comment...

    (I'm contacting friends, family, and other bloggers to make sure anyone can get a chance who may be interested in the DVD. Feel free to pass along this info to others.)

    God bless!
