Lilly's 4th

My first born turns four today, and I reflect.... The first three years of her life were spectacular, but this last one took ten years. The arrival of my son, who cried every day, all day for six months, took away so much. Today, he gives back. This is what I will remember forever. A beautiful daughter who lights up at the sight of her little brother. He laughs when he sees her, bounces around with her while she tries to tickle him and forever stares at her with admiration. This is what I cherish, and why I wanted another one. Today we celebrate Lilly and everything she is, which is a spectacular child!

Bread making...

Every week, I feel overcome by the need to make bread. Ok, maybe it is because the bread I made last week is moldy, but still, I am making bread. Tonight, I am having wine, baking bread and spending some time with my hubby. The kids went down at the crazy hour of 5:30 because they were overtired and we have been alone since then. Haven't had one conversation this entire time, but it feels like heaven! Pure heaven!

First blog...

I will consider this my first blog! I haven't written in ages. Seems like a lifetime. My family keeps me busy. My youngest is a year old, and after a year, it isn't any easier. At least he doesn't scream all day, but he is just a hard baby. My lovely, wonderful three year old is almost four and life is a constant struggle of compromise. My husband is lovely, except for his newly shaved face with some weirdo mustache. Life is, as usual, a constantly changing spectacle.

Yoga...

So today I learned to not look at yourself upside down while doing a modified version of some twist, leg up, hips out thing. It was probably the scariest thing I have ever done.

Will be updating more with my new iphone. YIPEE!!

New Day

Tomorrow is a new day! For me, for my family! So excited!

Happy Easter

We are blessed today! Jesus died for us and came back so we can all have everlasting life. It makes it possible for us to see and enjoy everyone. Besides church, my loving family and lots of food and chocolate, I really enjoyed this today. Have a most fabulous day!

Promises....

I promised to blog, and I haven't. I keep thinking that I will get better at it, but I just can't. Life takes over and I have nothing to write about except a three year old who is continuing to grow into her personality, Lord help us. A nine month old who gets better with each passing day. A husband who, for some reason, I love more and more every second. A mother and a father who seem to have a never ending love of my children, my husband and me. A sister who readily gives her house and her time for my needs. Friends, and other family, who give beyond what is required. Old friends who find me through new media and constantly amaze me with love I don't deserve. I guess this is a lot to write about but, really, what do you say about all of this? Wonder and amazement.
