The dog days of Summer

So, I have to say that the last five weeks have been crazy in the Winslow house. Eric has been working hard at both his full-time job and being a part-time lifeguard. Mackenzie is growing and learning so fast and we are making through the difficult times together. She is truly a little sweetie but still wants her independence too. Hyrum officially has two teeth on the bottom. I promise to post pictures as soon as he will let me take some. He is working hard on his first upper tooth and to crawl. He has been mobile most of the summer with rolling everywhere but now he wants to get exactly where he wants to go. And mommy, well she has almost survived the most difficult summer in history for her.  I have only three more days of Spanish class and then I am off four weeks. In that time I have a lot of things I want to get done. I am grateful for the tender mercies of the Lord. For while we have all grown and learned, the Lord has also been helping us all to be able to do more in the day. Eric has been able to work almost 24 to 48 hours straight, Hyrum and Mackenzie both have taken naps, and I have been able to complete all my assigned work for class along with housework and enjoying special time with each child. I can not believe that has of August 1st, I will be done and Hyrum will be three days away from being nine months old! Life is good here in the Winslow house and I hope and pray we can continue to do well together. I promise to post pictures very soon.
