3 Wonderful Moments From My Day


1.) Ok so today as we were getting into the car, Austin realized that his brother Mason did not have a paci, so he climbed into the car on Masons side as I buckled him in. Austin stopped and said 
"Mae Mae!" then he proceeded to put his paci into his brothers mouth.  A puddle! That's what I turned into.  It was such a tender moment between brothers.  

2.) My "Honey" ( I say it in quotes because Dave and I call each other that and Austin took a liking to it too. Only he says it more like "huuunnnyyy") So anyway, my "Honey" wrote me an email and I have copied and pasted it below:

HONEY, I WANTED TO TAKE A MINUTE TO TELL U THAT U R THE BEST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED TO ME. THANK U FOR BEING THE BEST MOM I COULD HAVE EVER CHOSEN AND MOST IMPORTANTLY THE BEST WIFE AND FRIEND. I AM EXCITED TO BUY THIS NEW HOUSE AND RAISE OUR FAMILY IN A NICE NEIGHBORHOOD. LUV U MEAN IT  MEEEE.

See there's the "Honey" I told you about. How sweet is that??? 

3.) Watching Mason walk about 50 feet from me to the slide!  He was so determined to be a big boy and he put his mind to it and did it! Watching Austin eat his cookie and then trying to get the melted chocolate off his hands. He has a clean hand fetish like I do. He was wiping his hands on his face and shirt to try and get the chocolate off only to smear it around more. It was priceless.  

(FYI technically that is 4 but I never have a Mason moment without an Austin moment or vice versa. The two of them sort of come as a package. A very loud and demanding but beautiful package)

Happy One Month Birthday Baby Boy

Today our son turns one month old!  There were days when I was still pregnant with him that we were not sure he would be alive to see this day. God, has blessed us. He is here. He is perfect. He is fighting the biggest fight of his life.  Just as sure as the H (home) word was mentioned to us as a possibility in a couple of weeks yesterday, I in turn, got the phone call at 2 a.m. this morning that his heart is struggling.  His heart is working so hard to keep going. It is a delicate balance. One day everything looks picture perfect and hours later it all changes.  I am working on not looking to far down the road, one day at a time, one hour at a time, one prayer at a time. Today our son turns one month old and the alternative makes me realize that I/we can do this. Even though there will be many tears through out this, many angry days, sad ones and joyful ones. I do believe that God has a plan for us and for our son and as we wait to learn what that plan is, I am finding a patience I ha

I honestly didn’t realize until today why I have been the weepy mess that I have been these last few weeks. I thought I was tired.  I thought well you have five kids and lots to remember. I am prone to anxiety. I worry to much which is definitely nothing new.  I attributed the constant crying to all things other than the obvious, which after ten years one would think I would have down by now.   It’s February.   It is heart month and I don’t mean cupid.  It is real heart month.   The hearts who are sick, broken, healing, or in heaven… We honor, celebrate, recognize and weep over all things Congenital Heart Defects.  I used to be able to post a lot more about it.  I used to write a lot more about it, but I have found as time goes on that well… I don’t have a ton of time for it, but also I think I’ve been avoiding it as well… because after 10 years… words don't come to me like they used to…there is just no time line and I haven’t been able to sit down to write lik
