Mother's Day and Half Birthday!









Yesterday I had my first true mother's day. It was wonderful. To be honest though, I feel like the luckiest person in the world so yesterday was not too different than other days. Jason did however surprise me with a video of Lexi's pictures (will post soon), a picture frame, coffee mug, luggage tag, and a sweet card. We spent the afternoon at Mimi and Paw Paw's with Aunt Sarah. It was a beautiful day so we sat on the patio and ate sandwiches from Central Market. Lexi missed an entire nap, but she was still in a good mood. Last night when I woke her to feed her the "top off" bottle she fell back to sleep in my arms. Usually, Lexi does not snuggle. When she is tired she likes to soothe herself to sleep in her own bed. I'm confident Lexi fell asleep in my arms on purpose...one more gift for mother's day from her to me.

Today Alexi turned 6 months! I am so excited to see her growing and learning new things everyday. Today, Lexi started truly enjoying her activity center. She played the piano on purpose rather than accidentally hitting the keys. She is now kicking her legs as well while she plays and bouncing when she sits on the ground or in my lap. She is so much fun!

Day 8

Sometimes when life seems hard, sad, or stressful, I like to just stop for a moment and find something happy or peaceful. This evening, Lexi and I were driving home and we noticed the beautiful sunset. I stopped so we could take a picture on my phone. When I look at the sky and it looks like this, it makes me think of the loved ones we have lost and are now in Heaven. Instead of feeling sadness, I feel comfort they are in their forever home in the arms of Jesus. I'm thankful to have to ability to remember and the faith to feel comfort. - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

Day 12

Today I am thankful for Apple.  Apple makes great technology.  Jason has been in Canada for almost a week and because of our iPads we were able to facetime with him!  Lexi gets a little shy when the conversation begins, but she quickly warms up and loves to talk and kiss him.  We love and miss him so much when he is traveling.  We are looking forward to the summer when he is home with us for a couple of months straight!!

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!!
