"I love pee-ung pee-ung"
translation - "I love gun"
Marcus put together a sentence today... Although it was to tell me how much he loves toy guns.
He has got one hot personality. He's a flirt, he can be so sweet yet so whiny. That high pitched noise he makes drives me crazy on bad days. He doesn't want to use his words yet haha. He copies EVERYTHING TITUS DOES. Literally everything. EVERYTHING. Good thing Titus is turning out ok so far. haha.
also in other news..
MARCUS CAN EAT ALL PURPOSE FLOUR!!
i repeat...
MARCUS CAN EAT REGULAR BREAD!!
His poop wasn't great but no other negative signs.
God is gooooooooood. Hallelujah!!
I wish there was a larger font to convey my excitement.
Today he ate an in n out burger for the first time and enjoyed many vegan cupcakes for Titus' birthday celebration.

Mom Post
I was trying to maintain a personal journal and a kids journal and it got too overwhelming so I decided to just combine everything here. No one really reads this but hopefully I can figure out some different settings.
The first half of 2016 was personally a very dark time. I think I am finally able to write some words down because I am slowly coming out of it. The last time I experienced this type of depression was 10-12 years ago. I was hesitant to admit to myself that I was going through a similar period because it took a long time and a lot of work to get myself out of it and to build something stronger in my life. But if I think of it that way, it must mean something stronger and meaningful is at the horizon waiting to greet me.
Once I was able to admit this, I wanted to seek help asap so that I could be present for my children. I don't want to this to affect my ability to be a mother.
A culmination of little things here and there the past few weeks has reawakened my awareness of just how much my God personally loves me. I used to think of it in different terms but I realized - if I constantly want to tell my kids and husband that I love them, and I feel compelled to show them any chance I get and I want to hear it and feel it from them all the time as well... God constantly wants to tell me and show me how much he loves me. And I believe He is constantly pouring out love at every minute (I don't think it is passive)... I just need to be aware of it and be able to receive it. Also, it is a foreign and awkward concept for me because of my background... but this also made me realize that I am worthy and I can expect and want to be showered by His Love ALL THE TIME.
A lot of realizing going on over here... I hope some of it sticks.

Way too many feelings. Had a good cry.. something I haven't been able to do for a few years.
