Life Lately

I guess the biggest thing to start with is that Webb started his first official day of preschool on Thursday. I took time off to take him cause everyone knows that being a mommy is number one. I ran that morning and did all my crying down Weaver Drive. We had a nice morning at home, eating a good breakfast and taking our time getting ready. I was able to snap a few pictures at home but Webb is seriously too busy for pictures.

 
Walking in . . .
 
Once we got inside, you could have just forgotten I existed. Webb gave Ms. Karen a hug and started playing. I thought maybe he'd be a little clingy and not want me to leave but he just said "Bye, mom!" and kept playing. I left with a happy heart knowing that he was fine, happy, and would have fun with new friends. I spent the rest of the morning planning at my favorite coffee shop and then headed to work to see my other sweet little people.
 
 
In other Webb news, he is totally becoming a three year old! He's very independent, wants to do everything by himself, and is wild and silly as ever. He notices when we miss a word in a book, reminds me to put my seat belt on and to close the garage door. He is a picky eater still, loves walnuts, strawberries, and graham crackers. He is using the potty well and helping around the house some. He loves his Lightning McQueen car, Mater, monster trucks, dump trucks, big tires, pipes, and all things truck related. He loves the Old Courthouse and drains- especially the ones at the Y. He loves putting laundry away- which usually means I end up with random clothes in my workout drawer. He can be a not-so-good listener and will then elect to sit in time out all by himself. He loves to spin in daddy's office chair, climb in the window upstairs, make tire tracks in his play dough, playing in his "cwub house" at Mimi and Pawpaw's house, and playing with kitchen utensils. He asks for mommy every morning as he comes downstairs, snuggles with me, kisses and hugs me, and lets me carry him around. He loves wrestling and climbing up daddy. He loves bike rides in his trailer, going to the park, getting ice cream, and playing on his tractor.
 
He is the love of our lives and we just enjoy him so. Until he's a not-so-good listener and then we want to pull our hair out. :) Patience is key here.
 
 
My girlfriends and I are doing a Bible Study. We changed the book and are now doing Beth Moore's study of James.
 
 
We had our first meeting last week and it was totally amazing. The leader is such an inspiring mom and friend and the rest of us just click so well. I really feel like I'm going to learn something from this and grow closer to God. Until we meet again, I have a lot of homework to do! And I'm actually looking forward to doing it!
 
 
Last weekend, we went to eat Thai to celebrate my friend Catherine's birthday. We had such a fun night out.
 
 
 
As you've heard me say a million times, my first half marathon is two months away! Now I'm going to run another half a month after that! It's the Mistletoe Half Marathon.
 
 
Then, I think I'll do one in either February or March. I told you I was addicted. :)
 
 
 
That's about it for now. Hope everyone is doing well!

  1. Oh Amanda! Webb is just darling! Can't believe he started pre-school... I'm sure when the day comes for Em I'll be a soggy, snotty mess.
    I wanted to tell you that the James Bible Study you are doing rocked my boat! The home work can be daunting, but oh my the reward was so sweet when I finished. It literally changed who I am. As you do this study, I pray you have a supernatural experience that can only be the work of the Lord in your life!
    Love y'all!
