I don't know how many PTL texts you can get in a day, but I am beyond thankful today!! We survived FIVE appointments today, after some unexpected news last week. So many prayers were answered today and even though we are waiting on "official" news from Ellie's cardiologist I am bursting with a thankful heart! #godisgood #familyselfie

I've basically watched my kids grow up in front of this UofI window. We were here today for Zay and we always celebrate getting thru blood draws with a window selfie! Seems appropriate to dedicate my #onemissionmonday post to these two!!! #mymission #pku #foodfighter @go_one_mission

We had takeout tonight... Greens pizza from Lincoln Pizza & Wine bar (my favorite!!!!)...kids had their pku pancakes. Ellie decided to turn her pancakes in a pku greens pizza, complete with Biscoff sauce! #adventurouseater

I just sent my kids outside because their energy is just more than inside can handle. And yes, that's a Christmas nightgown. I posted about being ready for "pumpkin spice season" today...apparently once we get the ball rolling around here, we move through our seasons rather quickly. Be merry y'all.

Alright all you {PUMPKIN SPICE} people...I've been resisting, but I'm officially on your team now. #bringonfall #pumpkinspiceeverything #onemission #purchasewithpurpose @go_one_mission

I have one child that is hesitant but seriously confident and another that is oblivious and a fun-seeker. Neither of my children show any signs of missing their Mama while away from me and it's getting really old having to be the one with separation issues. ;)

We took front porch pictures again today, because 1. School picture day for Zay and 2. Ellie gets to start preschool today!!!! She's not excited at all. ;)

I lift couches. Everyday. Good grief this pup never learns!! #stuckunderthecouchagainmom #pleasehelpme #bodoodle

Since we didn't get into preschool we are doing "dance school"!! It's pretty hard not to get caught up in the cuteness of little girls in their pink ballet getups!!! I mean seriously!! ;) I had photo sessions out of town tonight, so Daddy took care of his girl...tights, tutu and all the pink!! Bonus...he captured first night photos! #goodhusband #gooddaddy #happymommy
