I'm Erin Jo. I'm thinking, writing, dreaming, mothering, loving, living, praising, BLESSED to be Fiona to my Shrek and Mommy to my four amazing kiddos.

Shrek is "like an onion with many layers" but has a heart of gold. He's my husband and my friend, and we just get better all the time.

Lily is my first baby and only girl. She's smart, funny, tall and kind. Keeping up with this girl is a challenge and a joy. She's terrific!

Max is one part ogre, two parts lover and all boy! Our little man has a temper but gives the best hugs of anyone I know!

Colby is as ornery as he looks. He flirts shamelessly, even with strangers. He's all mouth and curls and the loudest by far.

Luke is the baby of the family, but holds his own. He's happy and adorable. And he's a terrible sleeper. =)

Decompression

September 19th, 2011


One of the funniest things I’ve seen all weekend: Shrek and his mini-me mowing the lawn

I’m trying to decompress tonight. I’m not sure if my cyclical mental crash was due or if I just got really exhausted with financial worry, but I fell under the wagon this weekend. I’m crawling out. Reaching hand over hand on the wheel spokes. Coming back up.

Things I like: doctors who are open on Sundays, the gorgeous, crispy fall weather, and brand spanking new family photos hung around the house. Things I don’t like: empty checking accounts, babies falling off beds, the power of football in dictating my weekends.

My brood is well, my heart unscathed. I’m cautiously optimistic about my week. I’m counting my blessings and snuggling a sick, sweet baby.

I don’t have a lot to say, but I wanted to say this: I still believe I’m right where I’m supposed to be, and I still feel as though I’m on the brink of something wonderful.

Come with me?
