Life throws curve balls at each of us ALL the time doesn't it?
Here is our latest family picture.
Ha ha ..won't be sending this pic out for our Christmas cards!
All is well for now...I hope.
My silly lung keeps partially collapsing.
I am home and doing the normal stuff.
Kinda haven't been in the mood to blog.
Then, I reminded myself that I really want to do it for the sake of
it kinda being a journal of our life's!
I easily forget certain details of things. I think that it is nice to look back.
Blogging helps keep those memories!
I find myself looking back either with great fondness or so glad that part of
our lives is OVER!
Many times I wish I could ask one of my two awesome Grandmother's how they felt,
or got through certain things. Perhaps, many years from no,w my Granddaughters might look back and giggle or draw from a certain life lesson I have learned.
I learn a lot each day.
My Grandma Ellen's profound "this too shall pass" saying, crosses through my mind often!
The tender or feisty words of My Grandma Faye i find repeating to myself or others.
Before I had my children, I never conceived how much a Mother's heart worries or thrills with each and every lesson their children go through!
A perfectly great day can go from being a 10 to a 4 in a matter of the car door opening as they get in from school.
I have YET to experience anything below a 4.
I knock on wood that day does not come!
Yikes, I keep considering deleting what I just typed.
I dread seeing pain on one of my kid's face.
Pain or heartbreak, both are so hard to watch.
I am learning that we each will come together as a family at the end of a day,
a team. (I hope)
With different excitement's or sorrows. It is great to have this dear little family.
I am thankful to be their Mom.
This is a funny story from today.
Jake told me when I picked him up from school, that
Jake told me when I picked him up from school, that
a few weeks ago they did a survey of who the kids thought had the best style, smile, humor, hair...
you get the just.
He said "the morning announcements went through all of them, and then they came to the sixth grade boy with the best hair, it was....HIM!
He said "the morning announcements went through all of them, and then they came to the sixth grade boy with the best hair, it was....HIM!
He was super sheepish about it, but said it was funny.
This guy has THE THICKEST hair!
Jared cuts his hair, he almost needs strong dog grooming sheers!
Wish I could have all that thickness! (I think he got it from my Grandma Faye)
Yesterday, 9/11 was discussed at their school's.
I remember the moment I watched that second airplane fly into the towers on the news!
Horrific!
I never would have imagined that twelve years later my second grader could/would be able to explain the event in such detail.
We prayed for the families and loved ones of the victims of such sadness.
Talmage was devastated, he came home and was very quiet.
He emerged from his room, asking me to come listen to what he had learned about 9/11.
Excuse the brotherly fiasco that develops
