Living life in the moment: Burdick happenings

I am sitting here thinking how much I miss writing in my blog. Life has been busier than the normal busy and I am taking some time to reflect on life in general. It has been a good couple of weeks, I did do a lot of teaching between three sub jobs and some teachings at my church. As much as I LOVE teaching I am more and more convinced of the full blessing that it is to stay at home with my children. This gift of relationship time that I have with them now while they are young is irreplaceable. So.... speaking of my children, thought I'd write a little bit about what is new in their world. Timmy is starting to walk but he still prefers crawling. I think it is a speed thing because he is all about going fast. He probably will just be running once he is actually done with crawling. It is SO fun to watch his little personality bloom each day. Today he got so excited when he saw a bird fly by and the hugest smile just popped on his face. We were all reading "I love you through and through" tonight and there was a part in the story that said I love you when your crying and Abbie said, "No, mom's don't like crying, mom's fix crying" I got to talk to her about how we always love our children even if we don't like the action. Abbie has been entirely obsessed with dressing her dolls up and playing with all her dolls lately, she also and always has loved to color and she is starting to color in the general area of the lines which is pretty cool to watch. I am so enjoying being a mom right now. I think about how fast this journey is going to go and I can't even fathom them growing up and even starting elementary school, but one step and one season at a time I am learning even if I don't have all the answers, God's grace is sufficient!
