Thoughts for today.....
*We went on a picnic last weekend (I LOVE PICNICS!) and it was the sweetest time ever. Precious time with my husband and Eleanor. And gorgeous weather too.
*I have a 4 month old! What? Every single day with E is a blessing. I knew I wanted to be a mother, but I never knew how incredible it would be. I thank God everyday that He gave Eleanor to us.
*Since I'm at home during the day several days a week....I have discovered daytime tv. ha! I don't really care for much tv, but I am loving Dr. Oz. hahah! Anyone? I have started implenting some of his healthy eating guidelines.
*I look forward to coffee everyday. Sometimes when I'm going to bed, I'm thinking about the coffee I get to have when I wake up. It's the little things.
*Speaking of coffee: the Keurig has changed our coffee life. Insanely awesome!
*Everyday is truly a lesson in worry for me. I have mentioned it before, but it is something I continually have to keep myself in check about. I really like the quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson, "Sorrow looks back, Worry looks around, Faith looks up." I remind myself to just talk to the Lord when worry hits. This is just really relevant in my life right now, so I'm sharing! :)
*Tim and I are looking forward to football season sooooo much! Yep, I just said that. He has totally turned me into a sports enjoyer. (not a word, but i'm not a sports lover.) We love fall mornings....here is a scenario: wake up to coffee and the windows open, turn on college game-day, enjoy breakfast together, pumpkin candle burning, and best of all...Eleanor is with us this year! You better believe she will be in her Mizzou Tiger wear.
*Finally......
Look who's sleeping in her crib like a big girl! Yep, we made the transition from bassinet to crib a few days before her 4 month birthday. She made the transition flawlessly. Which I am super duper jazzed about! She has been sleeping very soundly. And I must say, all of us are sleeping soundly! yay for peanut! I did cry the first night. Well, because change is hard for this mama. But it's all good now!
*Next up....begin the process of unswaddling. One step at a time!
Have a blessed day everyone!
Lots of love from the Shepard Fam! :) xo

I love the picture of sweet Eleanor! And your description of a Fall football morning sounds perfect to me too!
Family picnics are the best aren't they?? I think you are in the wrong town to be sportin' your Mizzou gear. :)
That is just the sweetest picture of Eleanor sleeping! They are precious asleep. We made the transition at exactly the same time. I think I might be able to do it earlier with the second baby :)
I read recently that worry isn't necessarily a bad thing IF you use it as a catalyst to immediately turn to God. Sounds like that's what you're doing! :) You are a great mommy! H has a couple of Missouri onesies. My dad is from Missouri. :)
OMG! She is so cute!!! 4 months, already?! They grow so fast!!!! And um I feel ya on the coffee. Hubby and I just got a Kuerig! AWESOMENESS!
she looks so sweet! I've been thinking about a family picnic now that it's gotten so much cooler outside...I think we need to plan one pronto!
