Simplicity, chaos, but so much love!

Okay, all (not that there are many of you following this) but, after talking about blogging today, I realized it'd been a good long while since I last blogged, so here I sit. After a month of leaving no updates for you, I decided.......it may be time for a new post! So, ready...set...blog!
We have not had a whole lot happen since my last moment of blab, but we are still, and always, super busy. Tyler has decided to run track. So, he's a sprinter (like his momma) and a long jumper (must get that from his dad!) He loves it, but still doesn't really have confidence. Still not sure how to restore that in an 11 year old after it's lost, so if you have any insights, please share. His first meet is thursday and I am both excited and nervous for him. Baseball season officially kicks off this week! So we will have nightly track practice or meets, plus 2 weeknight baseball practices, followed by Wednesday games (this is just Tyler's sporting events!)
Then Savannah decided to play fastpitch this year. After considering how last year went in softball and talking to several parents and coaches, she has her first fastpitch practice tomorrow. Not sure how many practices or when games are, but she has a great coach and I think she will be just fine. Oh, and she will move up to Red Squad at On the Flip Side next month after her last performance as a Mini at the Relay for Life. One of her best friends moved away last weekend and she was devastated. Even though she has other friends, it's hard to tell an 8 year old that it will be okay when a bestie moves away. She has shed so many tears. :(
Addison will continue on the Mini cheer squad and has shown so much improvement in the last 6 months. We only have a few more months until my baby girl will be in kindergarten! So hard to believe. She is so smart, yet so stubborn (yet another quality instilled from daddy :)...lol).
Griffin, my oh my, where do I start! My baby will be 3 years old in 6 days. I'm just in denial. He's a very determined little boy, and yes, I will own up to that trait. He surprised me with potty training much earlier, and much easier than his big brother and now, yes, this may be TMI, it kills me that he insists on standing up while peeing. It is just a milestone that makes him seem so much older and bigger. But, we are super excited to celebrate his birthday on Sunday. I am attempted something new with the cake and I hope it works out well! If not, I won't tell you b/c I never admit failure! LOL!
I have 2 months left for my ASB and then start in to my Bachelor Degree, though I'm still debating which area. But, we have just confirmed family vacation plans and we are so ready to go right now. Even more excited that my parents, who are so deserving of a nice vacation, are going with us.
Adam's new schedule makes his job even more trying than it was, but we still hold hope for a change in the future. There is potential, so with patience and prayer...you know the saying "good things come to those who wait"...well, let's just say we are still waiting.
I'm running in my second race next weekend. The Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure and I hope to raise some money for research funding for breast cancer. I have a friend right now suffering from this awful disease and I have to admit, I wonder often why such bad things happen to such good people. Especially when really great things happen to some that are less deserving. I would love to say that I don't question God on this matter, but I would be lying. But I question God because I know that He is all knowing and that one day, He will answer me. It may not me now, but one day He will. So, I ask and wait for Him to answer.
Okay, that's my babble for now. Hope this finds you all doing well and that I maybe made you smile for a brief moment or even provoked a good thought.
