Peek into my week
"New Beginnings"
In case you ever wondered, homelessness was no fun. We are so happy to be in a new home. Mr. Smartypants starts his new job this week. {Collective sigh of relief} Thank you all again for your prayers.
**Also, 10% of all revenue from all my sites/businesses are tithed to the Salvation Army and other charities. Life can be tough, and these charities do God's work.**
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Football Time"
Do you remember last year when we melted on the sidelines? Or when I became a lunatic sideline mommy? OR the mouthgaurd fiasco at season's end?
Those old posts are worth clicking over to read. ;)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"real life"
Moving in, preparing for football, feeding children, and running my *ahem* Internet empire ain't pretty.Trust me. Pay no attention to the woman behind the curtain, y'all.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Moments"
The sweetness of Justin kissing his baby brother's hand while holding him just melts my heart.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I hope your week was wonderful, too. These posts are part of my sweet friend, Lotus' Weekly Winner project.I hope you take part and share your best photos, too!
I love you all, Alli
Glad you're settling in, BFOTI. Your new home looks lovely. And your boys...well, they melt my heart. Give them a hug from their Internet Auntie, 'kay?
*mwah*

Love the last picture - that baby is lucky to have such great older brothers.
I'm cracking up at the lunch scene; my boys are the same way -- incapable of sitting their fannys down while they eat!
:)
Glad you're home again and good luck with getting settled.
