Little Miss Stinker

Yes her name is Isreal.  How I wish I could get inside her little head.  I swear we laugh at her the whole time, she is so very much in control of me.  I love it!  Really!    I saw her at a track meet this Spring.   I kept talking to her and she would act like she wasn’t interested in me at all.  I would turn away and she would look.  I would look at her, she would turn away.  Yes, she is so in control ; )

Words of Wisdom

My friend david has written a song that has found a special place in my soul.    From that song came this word collage.  Here are two pics and I’m not a product photographer ; )    I’m holding it in one so you can get a size perspective.    This one may be gone already but I’ll soon have my very own.

If you have a prayer or two to spare, david will be undergoing his 5th craniotomy on Friday.

Abby and Brendan

I have been a bad blogger, I have had this post in draft mode for a week.  It isn’t written perfectly and I’ve decided not to keep editing it to make it so.  It was written quickly from my heart to Abby who every day continues to amaze me with her strength in taking on the world.  She is hope for me that my children will one day grow into amazing adults. 

I met Abby on one of my very first dates with Bret.  The event was the wedding of her mom Nancy to Bob.   Over that past 20 years I have loved watching Abby.    Abby represents hope for me.  When I met her I was barely ‘grown’ up myself and hadn’t ever watched that process from an adult viewpoint.  I got to watch Abby through the trying teenage years, to her crazy college years to her dating years to her falling in love with Brendan years to her beeing a married woman years and then to her painful miscarriage year.  

So back to hope, Abby is hope.  Hope to any parent that your child might just grow up to be one of the most amazing people you will ever know.    Abby along with your amazing partner Brendan, you have grown into such an amazing woman and soon to be mother.  I know the last year has been very difficult but I think this baby will have the most amazing parents due in part to how hard you fought together and with God on your side for him/her.  God has blessed you.  I am blessed too!   Now hurry up so we can photograph this baby!  I love yoU!

I’m totally in love with Hayden’s name.    I am imagining her as a spunky 3 year old with long blond hair.  Hayden will fit her perfectly!
