croutons

hey guys. it's been a while. i haven't been at my computer much the last couple weeks. which means i'm not working too much, yikes. and me and jake are still much into FNL (friday night lights). anyhow, how are you? life's moving right along in the greer house. 
we had one of those mornings where your 2 year old asks for croutons for breakfast, and you actually give them to him. it was a mix of being tired and not really wanting to say no. i kinda have that weakness as a mom often. i don't like saying no to finley. yes, partly because i, nor anyone else around, enjoys his fits when he doesn't get what he wants. but also, because i really like him to have freedom to make choices and experience things. my standard is usually "is this 'experience' worth the mess"... and if it is, win win. and then things like croutons... he also has a bagel and eggs on the table, should i let him have croutons? you know, probably not. but he did enjoy them and he ate some of his real breakfast, too. 
audrey has been a ball of crank lately. i think it's a mix of a few things. we're weaning. i didn't think she would struggle with this, because she hasn't been really into it for a couple months. we've decreased one feeding for a couple days, and then another. we've been down to only nursing before bed at night, and tonight i wanted to give that one up, too. she's just been fussy and having some issues going down for naps. i also think she's teething. and just growing. and she's just a baby. she's also been really snuggly! which i'll take. 

hmm... there's much more i could write and say i am sure. but i think i'll turn in for the night. oh, i think jake and i found a church! which is really encouraging! and it seems to be a really great place to be. they are big on 2 things:
"being a place where people belong"
and "doing for one what you wish you could do for all."
 i love both of these missions and ideas. and i hope to instill in my kids the idea of "do for one what you wish you could do for all". love that. 
i'll keep you in the loop on that.

and i'm gonna be posting some awesome videos soon! mostly for aunt katie :) 

love.
