Midnight Owl

Hey people...still up? Just wanted to say HI & thanks for reading my blogs! I appreciate all the messages & support. We know that life can be hard, and we're doing all we can to make it easier on both girls. I have a few more moments than I did earlier, so...

Speaking of the girls, they are AWESOME!!!

Ash is loving TBALL & I love being at all of her games & practices cheering her on (whether in the stands or helping in the dugout). She is getting so smart & we love hearing her views on everything going on in her life. She picks up on a lot that people don't realize. We know our life isn't perfect, whose is? She's much happier now that she is adjusted and involved.

Madyson is still a fireball! She is like the energizer bunny, she definitely keeps going and going...even after she is asleep! Yeah, she takes after me & never stays in one place at night. All that energy!!! We've even had to buy a t-ball set of her own because she wanted to play with Ash so badly! I have learned to take a nap when she does, LOL. I am so proud of her and what she is already accomplishing.

I thank God every day for them and pray when they aren't near that God keeps them safe. Its very hard to know that we teach them respect and love for everyone, only to be fought at every turn. There is enough hatred in the world.

We are 8 weeks pregnant now! Yes, we are excited and will continue to be! Yes, our girls are excited & are going to be a BIG part of the pregnancy as well. See, that's the greatest thing about the birth center...it's a FAMILY experience!!! That is the beauty of childbirth...it isn't something for just parents, but for siblings as well. They can be at every appointment and experience everything we are comfortable with. I feel blessed to be able to share and teach Ashley & Madyson about a healthy pregnancy & how to maintain balance.

Here's a few quotes I thought would be fun...

"Family life is full of major and minor crises -- the ups and downs of health, success and failure in career, marriage, and divorce -- and all kinds of characters. It is tied to places and events and histories. With all of these felt details, life etches itself into memory and personality. It's difficult to imagine anything more nourishing to the soul." Thomas Moore
