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?

I'm glad you had some "reflection" time. A good cry always seems to clear out my head. I can't believe it has already been a month. Thank goodness we have kids to keep us busy and distracted--and give us a few laughs. Nothing like naked 2 year olds running through the house!
I'm thinking about you.I know it must be hard for you. I wish I could help more. It was so good to talk to you on the phone. We need to talk more often. I saw Tasha at the Legacy Center. I got to talk to her for a brief minute. She seems to be doing well. take care.:)
Your last two paragraphs say it all.
When all is said and done, joy in this life comes from spending time with those we love (especially our stinkin cute kids).
Hey A, I bet it was hard on your mom's birthday:( I'm sorry that you had to loose your mom at such a young age...on the other hand you've gotta love that potty training business.
Hi, Adrienne,
Finally I've gotten onto your blog.
Thanks for inviting me. I've enjoyed reading about your family and what's happenin'.
Went to Lehi on Wednesday. Thought it might help. Saw Tasha and that was good. I pray for all of you because I can't imagine how it would be without your mom. I miss her everyday.
It was wonderful to meet your two beautiful children and David finally. I'm thinking of you all.
Love, Linda J.
