Remember 9/11/09

Today on the way to take P to school, I was crying while hearing all of the sweet messages and the national anthem. He asked what was wrong, and in his understanding, I explained 9/11 to him. In that moment, we decided to do something today to show someone close here our appreciation and that we had not forgotten. After school, The kiddos and I along with our best buddies and neighbors took a little trip over to the local fire depart. to give them a cookie cake, some kid made cards, and a big bunch of Hugs and hand shakes! My children were so excited and of course Miss C wore her 4th of july outfit to make sure they knew she cared! LOL! I am so proud of our country and so proud of the Americans who serve everyday. We chose our local station because they have a dear place in my heart already. They have toted my sweet baby girl to many hospitals in her short life. Approx 5 ambulance rides since birth and toted myself about 3 that I can remember for complications with pregnancies and kidney stones.....so they are esp dear to me. Thank you so much for all you do, everyday for all of us! I cannot even express the joy my children felt and experienced shaking the hands of those men and knowing that they save lives. My son has not stopped talking about this and keeps saying "it's nice to be nice to nice people"...so simple...and so easy and so, so true! Thank you Lord for these men and women.

Rainy days and Mondays always get me down..

It is a sad day today. My dear sweet friend delivered her baby early this morning. He was only 20 weeks and is now with his maker. Love her and her precious self. She and her baby now share a birthday. Prayers are all around her, but I pray mostly for God's grace. Sweet, sweet baby.

Miss C

Where does the time go. First you are married and no kiddos, then you have a baby, then a toddler, then a 3 yr old who thinks she is 10! It's a great thing that she still wants her blankie! That makes her Mommy...(MOM) as she calls me very happy! I just LOve her!

I wanna love you till the very END!

Galveston 2009 Labor Day

Family...who could want more in this earthly life. This was the first trip as a famiy of 4 in 2 years. Very fun, emotional, sweet and sweaty! LOL! We had the best time. Watching my husband and son strengthen their relationship on the coast was more than any Mother could ever ask for. Oh my God....oh my loving, gentle, faithful, gracious, just God. We were joined by My parents, one of my m-i-l and her sister and my brother and sister in law. We stayed for 3 nights and had a blast playing together. We sat in the pool, basked in God's glory at the Beach and shopped like a bunch of sinners! Thank you my Lord for all of the blessings you have bestowed upon me and mine.
