They let these munchkins do a school picture together. I am giggling because I didn’t know they’d be full length and I let the girls wear *whatever* on their feet. Caroline is in cowboy boots and mismatched socks. Lucy is in mismatched socks and opened toed sandals. 😂😂 #thisishowiparent #sisters #CarolineMaple #LucyLuJoy
Three weeks ago, my left shoulder started feeling funny. Tight, almost like I'd been lifting weights despite the fact that I haven't lifted or danced or anything since July. I saw a doctor who said it must be a pinched nerve in my neck. I took the medicine, got some chiropractic adjustments, and tried to be more mindful of my posture. It got worse. My tight shoulder became a shoulder that has a constant, low burn. The pain went from my shoulder to my elbow and then today, it got worse again. Now my entire left hand is numb and three of my fingers are tingly, while the other two have spasms. I've been given stronger medicine, which makes me nauseous and dizzy and sleepy, and most troubling: I just feel super discouraged. Constant pain with no end in sight is a challenge I was not prepared to face. While I'm thankful it's my left hand, whew! Y'all, this is a world designed for people who have full use of BOTH hands. So, friends, I could use your prayers. I start physical therapy twice a week starting this week, and we now suspect it's a herniated disc between C4 and C5. Been there? Done that? I'd love to know what worked for you...
Caroline, yesterday, to her ballet teacher: “Tomorrow is my birthday, so say goodbye to five-year-old Caroline!” // My middle child speaks in a sing-song voice and wants to be a missionary dentist when she grows up. Every night she prays for everyone around the world to know Jesus, and her bright smile lights up any room. Still the best birth story in the world, still the fastest birth I’ve ever heard of (20 minutes), and still loves cats. // #CarolineMaple
For the first time in three years, I am not homeschooling anyone. If you would have told me that I’d STILL be just as busy between volunteering in class and arranging play dates with new school friends I would have scoffed... but yep. Here we are. It’s a welcome change, but ultimately, I am learning that I’m still responsible for the education of my children. I am so grateful for teachers! I don’t know how you love and give so much, but this mama sure appreciates it!
I didn’t prep a letterboard. Couldn’t even get it together to print a simple FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL paper for them to hold. And this is the best photo I could nab of these two little charmers. But here they go! We are trying half day school this year for all three kids. Caroline started kindergarten and Lucy started pre-k and for the first time in eight years I have my weekday mornings kid-free. I wandered aimlessly around Target for an hour and bought three baskets I didn’t need, then I came home and cranked some tunes and cleaned the entire downstairs! The house is quiet but my mama heart is full.
