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.

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!!
