Life's Precious Moments

There have been many thoughts tumbling through my head today. Olivia turned 22 months old yesterday and I realize just how much she has grown and changed. It is hard to remember a time when there were no toys, shoes, diaper, bibs, lotion, babies, and Olivia all over the house! I would not change it for the world! I am very thankful and gracious for all God has given me and my family. Without him none of this would be possible. I have always had a strong faith in God but since Olivia is has grown even stronger. I realize just what a miracle I have been given.

It reminds me of:

Psalms 127:3 "Children are a gift from God, they are a reward from him."

I Samuel 1:27 "I prayed for this child and the Lord has granted what I asked him for"

2 Corinthians 9:15 "Thanks be to God for his indescribable gifts!"

How true, how true!

My life has changed in a way I could never imagine. I feel grounded and safe when I am in the midst of my family God has so graciously given me. When I feel down, sad, tired, overwhelmed, anxious, or anything all I need to do is look into my little girls eyes and all is right with the world! Chris and Olivia truly make my day shine.

I love my family!

Winter Blahs and Ickies...

Happy New Year...I know it is late but oh well.

Christopher, Olivia and I had a wonderful holiday season. We spent Thanksgiving and Christmas with Chris's parents in New York and then traveled to my Mom's in VA for my brothers wedding on December 29th. Olivia did really well in the car for 10 hours - each way. The only time she was cranky was during the early stages of nap time when she could not get comfy!

Olivia has been very ill. She picked something up from day care cuz 4 of her other classmates are in the same meds. Olivia is currently taking Amox and is on a breathing treatments for asthma. We hope the asthma is from the illness she has and not long term. Poor baby. She is finally coming back to her old crazy self!

My school classes begin tomorrow. GOOD GRIEF what am I thinking?? I am only taking 1 class, accounting, so that I can get back into the swing of things. Work, baby, school, household....you get the idea.

Well, that is all for now, this mama is tired and going to bed!

Blessings to everyone!
