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.

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!!
