living large

I always say I want to freeze time.  Every parent does.  When I see a baby I have a hard time remembering when Lexi was that size, in that stage, etc.  Every stage is blissful.  Every moment turns into a memory too quickly. 

When we moved into the apartment we didn't really "decorate" it much because we don't plan to be here long.  We hung some things in Lexi's room, bought some flowers, and hung a print of Lexi in the living room.  We are keeping things simple while we are here (I *hope* our simplistic desires follow us to our next home).  Even though we said we weren't going to decorate much I did add a print in our living room.  It is a large photo, a very large photo in fact.  I'm not kidding when I say it is large.  Actually, large is an understatement.  The print is larger than life size.  It is my most favorite photo of Lexi as a four year old thus far.  I am freezing time as much as I can to my ability and this is the only way I know how.

We are living large right now and are in our happy place.  In a small apartment?  Yes.  We have each other.  We are healthy.  Our family and friends are healthy.  We are full of life and enjoying it to the fullest.

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...
