Don’t quit your day job!

Okay, let me begin this post by saying that Chris is a fantastic dad! He loves Asher so much and is always willing to help take care of him. That being said, he has been pretty distracted and a little overwhelmed this past week with the beginning of the school year (which started today!!!!). He was changing Asher’s diaper the other day and for some reason I went in the room mid-changing and this is what I found:

Normally Chris does an awesome job at changing at diapers so I have NO idea what happened here!! I laughed so hard.

I just had to take an “After” picture to rub it in… and you can bet it was the BEST diaper I’ve ever done (since I knew I’d be taking a picture…)

In fairness to my sweet husband, Asher is at a stage where he likes to be kicking and moving his legs constantly!! He usually pulls them up in a little frog-position and it’s hard to hold him down long enough to slap a diaper on.

In all seriousness as I was thinking about this post and laughing at the thought of Chris “not quitting his day job” and it made me think that today SHOULD be my first day of school with students, but instead I’m happily at home with my son. This was a big leap of faith for us, but we are faithfully trusting in the Lord to provide for us this year.

I am absolutely thrilled to be home with Asher. I always knew I wanted to stay at home with my kids, but I honestly wasn’t sure if we’d be able to make it work. My heart is SO full of joy. I’ve heard people say that being a mom is the hardest job you’ll ever have and I believe it! But it’s also the best! Here are some shots of my new favorite “student”!

A big thank you to Chris for working so hard for us this year, and for your desire (and support) for me to be at home with Asher! :) We love you and miss you already today!! Hurry home after school!
