Well, I am not in the habit of breaking promises, but since October it has been an unbelievably crazy time. I know I haven’t posted recently, but I haven’t changed my sheets in two weeks either so as you can see my priorities are not that out of whack. I have traveled for work, a lot, managed to get through the holidays and chased an unrelenting toddler who seems to have sprouted wheels on the bottom of his feet. To say I am exhausted and worn out is an understatement. But this is something I happily share with all the other exhausted, overworked, overwhelmed mothers out there. And if the pace of our life isn’t crazy enough, we decided in August to launch Kingsley Photography, launched a website, shot a bunch of portrait sessions, traveled to Minnesota to shoot our first wedding and build a business from scratch. It feels at times like we have four full-time jobs between us – Harper the Toddlerking, the Tennessean, Physio and Kingsley Photography.
Okay, have you heard enough of my bellyaching yet? Well, I have got even bigger news. You would think with all that going on we wouldn’t have time for quiet, mommy/daddy time, but apparently somewhere in the last two months we found some, because Baby Kingsley #2 is now on the way. I am quite certain you could have heard an atom splitting the night we found out and I took four pregnancy test and two blood tests just to be sure. But as I once read in a very well read mommy blog, Antique Mommy, “Man plans and God laughs”. It is now my favorite quote.
I would post a picture of our new little one if I could figure out how to scan on my printer. We saw the heart beat and of course I cried. The baby is due August 12 or thereabout. We are excited, but I think still in shock. It was not exactly on the list of things to do in 2008.
But as I said earlier, we don’t always know what God has planned for us. So we will just roll with it.
I hope all is going well for you and the entire Kingsley clan!
You know my birthday is August 10…so obviously that is a GREAT sign.
Congrats again! I am so excited for you all.
