Welcome friends to my first attempt as a blogger. I never thought that I would actually do something like this. I don't consider myself computer savy by any means. I freak out everytime I download pictures from my camera, wondering where in the world they will end up.... But still, here I am, ready to lay it all out on the line, so that my friends and family can enjoy the calamity, the chaos, the comedy that I simply call "Everyday life at the Kissinger's. "
Life with a beautiful 6yo daughter, 19mos old twin sons, a hard working farmer husband, and an adorable, smelly dog is never dull. Most days I wish that it was. I could use some serious dullness....and a nap.....and a Dt. Dr Pepper.
I am living the life that I never dreamed of. I did not want to marry a farmer....I did not want to live in a rural area (G-vil's population of 327 smiling, happy people is a far cry from the 800+ that D-town boasted).....I did not want to live within spitting distance of my inlaws.....I did not want 3 children.......
God had a different plan for me. A very different plan. A plan that I am neither privy to, nor one that I have not always been pleased with. But it is His plan and I am making the best of it. Honestly, I love the life that I never dreamed of.
I love my husband, even when he is cranky, or stubborn, or works to much, or doesn't like what I made for supper. He is a good man, he loves God, adores his children,and he loves me more than I deserve.
I love the slow pace of rural NE. I love the quiet. I love that I can take the kids for a walk down the middle of a gravel road and not worry about traffic. I love that people wave at you whether they know you or not.
I love that we are surrounded by family. Okay, so maybe I don't love being literally surrounded by family, but I love that we are close. My parent's are near as well. Having family here is a truly a gift.
I love, love, love my 3 kids....more and more each day. When I look at them, I see great works of art created by the Master's hand. I am so blessed to be their mom. I am so fortunate to be able to stay at home with them...to witness all of their joy and pain, wonder and amazement, delight and torment. I am in awe of each of them.
** Ellie just stated that she was "startled by the look of her wedding dress". Uhh what? She is working on her computer and is having a perfectly logical conversation with the characters she is dressing up. Not a dull moment folks....**
I thought that I might give you a little glimpse into our daily life. Here is what happens when you give your twins a snack and think that you might possibly have enough time to quickly check your email. Never Leave Them Alone.......
Ummmmm, that glass was full when I left.
But Mommy, it is so pretty!!!
Zachary showing us that milk slurpped from your highchair tray is GOOOOOOOD!!
Nate cleaning up his mess. Trying to teach them accountablity early......
