ThirtySomething

I am so bad at keeping up with blogging, but I am trying.

Life took an interesting turn for us recently.  We moved!  It was a good move, I think…but any move is still stressful!  Which is what has kept me away from here. 

We celebrated Samantha’s 10th birthday today.  I cannot believe it was 10 years ago today that she came into this world.  A whopping 6 pounds on the nose and 18”.  She was a wee little one, and I fell in love with her at first sight…well, even before she was born, really.  She is my sister’s daughter, but I love her as if she were my own.  She is a beautiful little girl with a good heart.overshadowed by all the pain and heartache she has endured in her 10 years.  No one deserves the hand she’s been dealt, I just pray as she is entering a new phase of her life (tweens) that she can embrace who she is and get through these difficult years as smooth as any tween and teen can.  I pray she does not go down a destructive path and stays on the straight and narrow.  She is such a blessing to us all and a beauty.  Please keep her in your prayers, she could sure use them.

What else has been going on here.  OH!  Chris celebrated his 32nd birthday last week.  We had a good day.  After the kids went to school he and I had a day just being together and having some fun!  We played pool at lunch time (I do not claim to know what I am doing when I play pool, but I had fun!) and then later that evening we went out to dinner with the family, with cake and ice cream afterwards.  :)  It was a great day.

   

Fun was had by….most!  :P (Jack actually did have fun…he just didn’t look like it in the photo).

This week Jack has been ill with a mystery illness.  Started with a HIGH fever and he hasn’t been the same since.  We think he is on the mend, but we also thought that on Tuesday and Wednesday he was back to feeling bad again.  A dr. visit may be warrented if he isn’t feeling better tomorrow…it’s weird, it seems he’s feeling better and then he’s not and then he is and then he’s not.  We are going out of town (just me and the kids) on Monday, so I’d really like all of us to be healthy for the trip!  What a bummer it would be to be sick on vacation! 

So, I will leave you all today with a brag, this is a beautiful note Jack wrote to me the other day, he’s such a sweetheart!

Until…..
