Today was a great day (with the exception of Jason leaving for Vegas). It was cloudy all day. Lexi was super cuddly. We went to Target, the post office, and a couple more errands before coming home. Once we got home, we stayed home. We played, laughed, and even napped together. She slept on me in our bed for over an hour. She helped me clean and cook too. While we were playing in the playroom I said, "I love you so much, Lexi." She smiled, looked at me, and said, "Thank you, Mom." In the afternoon we had thunderstorms and she started to get 'scared' of the thunder. I told her what my mom always told me, "The Angels are bowling and having fun!" I don't think she really 'got it' since she has never been bowling so then I told her that each time we hear a big thunder we have to give a big hug and kiss to each other. That seemed to work and I LOVED it! As the afternoon progressed I had forgotten about the deal and she was quick to remind me! Every day is a blessing with her. She is my dream come true!
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
