A Heavy Heart...

Why? I have so many questions running through my head and absolutely no answers. Why should a parent lose their infant suddenly? Why should a child have to suffer through cancer? Why should a parent have to watch their child suffer and then lose them? All I know is it makes me so thankful for each day my children are here with me and healthy and it also scares me to death. I know that any one of these things can happen to anyone at anytime and we will never understand why. I have faith in God that he is in control and I have to just except that I may never know why these things happen. I am reminded everyday to love my children and truly soak it all in, because we never know how long we will have them. I have learned that life is NOT fair. Just some things on my mind tonight as two different families (and I'm sure many more) are going through the hardest time in their life as they say goodbye too soon to their children. My heart is literally heavy and my breath taken away in sorrow for these families. Please say a prayer tonight that God will give them peace, comfort, and healing as only He can.

To Ava, With Love

To my sweetest Ava:

I can not believe you are TWO years old!! Time has flown by and I have loved every minute. You are the sweetest most lovable little girl. You love to give hugs and kisses. You can be a little stinker at times; you definitely pinch, hit, punch, etc. a lot more than your sister ever did. I like to say that you are sweet & sour. :)  You are always quick to say you're sorry though, but we are not sure how genuine it is. You love love love your sissy. You always want to know where Ella is, and you always want to be there. You want to be just like her and I love watching you two play together. You are talking more than ever, and I don't think there is anything you can't say. You love your baths and you even help to wash yourself. You are a wonderful sleeper but you have to have your stuffed animals in your bed and lined up just right. Rabbit, Barney, Elmo, & penguin are just a few of your favorites. You have added so much joy to our lives and definitely keep us entertained! I don't know what we ever did without you! Happy 2nd Birthday Ava...We love you!!!

Guess who's back?

So...I'm back! I've decided to get back to blogging mainly for the reason of one day looking back and having a journal of our life as a family and all the milestones of my girls. It really doesn't matter if I have 2 followers or none because I'm doing this for me to record memories. I would love to have readers who enjoy the blog, but if not, I will continue to blog, if only for myself. Soooo with that said, I'm excited to be back to blogging although I'm not sure If I ever started..haha. Stay tuned!
