Moments

I haven't written in awhile because things are hectic...nothing bad, just busy. Beautiful summer days and nights = not enough time for fun. Lexi and I are really enjoying Jason home this summer. I treasure and I know Jason does too, the moments he and Lexi share together. Often times I think about what a wonderful dad he is and how lucky Alexi is to have him as her protector. Jason is a solid rock...Lexi's and mine.

Almost every night after Alexi goes to bed Jason and I sit on the couch and share how much we love her. We repeat it over and over again like we are telling someone for the first time. We also share stories about what she did that was new or cute. Speaking of new and cute, tonight at dinner Lexi started playing, "Drop the sippy cup and watch mommy pick it up" game. At one point Lexi started laughing and if you know me, I laugh when other people laugh (even if I don't know what they are laughing about). So, since I heard the sweetest laugh on this planet I began laughing too. Lexi continued laughing because I was laughing and it went on and on. I guess the apple really doesn't fall far from the tree.

Another sweet moment happened tonight after I fed Lexi her bedtime bottle. I was holding Lexi cheek to cheek with me and she kissed me. She planted one on my cheek and stayed there for a few minutes looking into my eyes. I didn't move a muscle. I treasured that moment and I always will.

kindergarten boxcar parade

Well, everyone was healthy until Lexi got the flu and I got pneumonia.  Needless to say, it's been a rough week...BUT, we are better again and for the most part back to normal.  Jason, Lexi and I all worked together on this and we think it turned out great!  All the boxcars were unique and wonderful!  The parade was wonderful...it should have been televised!!

daddy/daughter dance

I have some catching up to do on the blog, but I wanted to write tonight while my feelings and emotions are raw... About a month ago we received an email about the daddy/daughter dance tonight.  Jason attached the flyer and forwarded it to me saying, "I have to work."  I frowned and moved on.  I didn't think much about it until the other day.  I had an "a-ha" moment and asked Jason if we could ask his dad so Lexi wouldn't miss out on the ball.  Jason called Kevin the next day and I received a text from Jason right after saying, "My dad would be happy to take Lexi."  I was delighted and Lexi was on cloud 9 when I told her Paw Paw wanted to take her to the ball (side note...we didn't tell Lexi about the ball because we didn't think she was going to be able to attend since Jason was out of town). The next day Jason left work early and met us at the mall for a little ball dress shopping.  Lexi danced around the dressing room in about 8 diff...
