Sometimes I just have to soak it all in...

Tonight was one of those nights.  Jason is gone and Lexi has had a rough couple of days.  She is cutting teeth and she is hurting.  I, as a mom, want to take all the pain away.  She has thrown numerous fits, fought naps, and has just not been acting herself.  I have found myself in tears because I just don't know how to fix her pain. Tonight when I was putting Lexi to bed I did our nightly routine...I put my face to hers while rocking her and whispered all the wonderful things we did today.  I ended my talk like I always do, "May God Bless You And Keep You."  Right at, "You" Lexi practiced 'spitting.'  She loves when I 'spit' when I try to teach her to do so after we brush her teeth.  I guess she still had that on her mind...

Some days maybe more challenging than others, but each day I wake up with more to love.

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!!

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...
