Day of Reflection

Today is my mom's birthday and about a month since she passed away. I spent the early morning hours by myself reflecting (nice way of saying I was bawling like a baby). It literally has been a month since she passed away but it seems like it really never happened but my logic side knows that it did. My life has changed forever.

Its been thunder storming here this afternoon and since the tornado that blew thru here awhile ago every time it thunders Kiersten makes herself shiver and says "I'm scared!" Well I was just finishing up making dinner and it started to storm again and next thing I hear is the pitter patter of little feet and out runs Kiersten in her birthday suite Yelling "Mommy, Mommy, I'm scared" I couldn't help but laugh. Poor child I believe is on the brink of really getting the whole potty training thing. She now takes her diaper off or stands there and trys to hold herself after she's gone. I am counting the days.

Kaia had her friends, Kayla & Gabby, sleep over Friday night - the next morning we went swimming and I spent the whole time chasing Kiersten who was trying to follow Kaia around the pool. I don't have any pictures because that would have taken advance thinking on my part.....and quite frankly who has time for that?

Gatlinburg Tennessee

We went to Galinburg this weekend. It was fun to go back to where David and I got married and spend time with the girls. We all had a good time. Driving through the mountains was beautiful. I would have loved to spend more time in the mountains.......next time.

Father's Day

I usually don't get into all these so called "Hallmark" holidays but as the girls get older its fun to do little things. David was a great sport and wore the tie Kaia made him to church today. The girls adore him and he is becoming a great example to them. Kiersten loves to have her dad right there with her.
I have to say that I adore my dad to. I love to be around him and wish I had a quarter of the talents he does but I'll take that he is my dad just the same. The girls love their Papa too.
