Sweet Carsyn

Filed Under: Family, Photography Tagged With: carsyn

Here are some more photos from our banana breakfast on Monday. He is seriously the sweetest baby ever. I love his smile behind his hand in the top right corner.  Tomorrow is his evaluation. I am nervous, but I am also looking forward to maybe getting some answers. Praying that if he is behind that he qualifies for the program so that we can get him on the right track quickly. Carsyn has seriously been such a great baby, but has had a lot more medical problems then Dustyn had. Wouldn’t you say he is WORTH it though? Who could resist this sweet boy? Being a mom is the hardest, but most rewarding job. I am so thankful for my boys and being able to stay home with them.

    He is absolutely worth ever second of every day!! I love those cheeks. I'm so sorry you are going through this bump in the road. And while it may not be as "big" as what others might be going through, it is HUGE in your world. And you have every right to worry and stress because he is your little guy and that's what moms do. I know first hand and I stress over everything that effects my little guys. We're thinking about you and sending positive thoughts that they come up with some answers and better yet a solution and plan. Keep us posted!! Happy WW!

I'm just nervous and not sure what to think. I'm sure you know what that feels like. So, again, thank you for everything! Is my e-mail accessible now? Someone said that they couldn't access my e-mail through my blog. Ashley at R&P said it was up and working several days ago, but I'm still unclear as to what's going on?? Anyway, thanks doll! Andie

Still on my to-do list: a gallery wall and living wall, but I'm a bit nervous since I'm not exactly good at that. One day, though... I also dream of getting a projector to display scenes on the big white wall.

I'm going to miss my Halloween decorations when they come down - time to start scouring thrift stores for Christmas decor, I suppose! 🎄
Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I am so grateful to have my own library/plant space. 

It will be a few more months/weeks before it’s complete but I’m proud of how far it’s come. 

What I have left to do still: Get the top for my desk and seal it. Organize my craft stuff and put it on the shelves under my desk. Figure out my gallery wall above my desk. Order my @wallygrowplanters for my living wall. And of course buy more books and plants. 😆

Thanks so much to my cousin @r_holz9 for all her decorating advice and @em.e.hicks for putting up with my million text messages. IKEA bookcases will be here tomorrow. Then need to paint them and start moving my books out there. After I finish with that, I will work on my living plant wall. Not sure when my low bookcases and desk will be built, but it will happen eventually. Almost there. 🙌🏼
