OH BOY!

I’ve tried to blog for weeks now… I looked back at the post I was doing November 17th, it was about World Prematurity Month. November 17th is actually World Prematurity Day. Its also the day I got the phone call my Granma took a turn for the worst and not a minute later passed. My grandma… she was more then a grandma. She was a mom, dad AND grandma. She wore lots of hats and did the very best she could keeping them all balanced up there. I miss her everyday and I pray she gets to snuggle my Anne for me.

A day later we found out that our cousin Joshua Corral was killed serving our county in Afghanistan. He was 19.

And then days later, right before my  granmas memorial service, we found out that her baby sister passed. My Aunt Donna was an amazing woman. I spent countless Summers, Thanksgivings and Christmases up in the mountains at Aunt Donnas.

 

So, needless to say my life has been a bit rough. I’m doing good though. I keep looking up. I do have my moments. FOR SURE! I even just have bad days, but for the most part I’m doing well. I’m getting really good at feeling my feelings, acknowledging the issues and then putting them into perspective. And if I’m going to be really honest… retail therapy has been a major help! 😉

 

And on top of all that, we’ve been passing a lovely cold around to each other! Jillian has an inhaler and that makes me so nervous. Since we brought her home she hasn’t been sick! Just a drippy nose from teething, but not a single cold. Until right before Thanksgiving. And now she can’t seem to shake it. 🙁

 

Another reason I haven’t been able to blog much is because Brady has been occupying a lot of my computer! He figured out how to do some pretty cool movie tricks as well as stop motion animation. You should check out his blog! HERE and HERE are my favorites! Leave him a comment and it will make his day! 😉

I have so much to blog about! A few family sessions… Mary Rose got to do a play with a real Theater Company. And there was drama with drama! Thats for sure! Although there were ups and downs she completely loves it and is working hard on getting her laundry down so we’ll sign her up for the next play. 😉

Jane and Maggie have been singing and playing and really just enjoying life. Jane is counting down the days till she is 7 and can do a play up on stage with Mary Rose. I can’t seem to figure out how to upload a video to this blog, but as soon as I can’ I’ll post what Maggie wants for Christmas! You’ll die! Its too dang cute!

Hopefully I’ll get blogging into my schedule. It’s going to be hard to catch up! Up next I’m going to be blogging about a family that is always a blast to hang with! Mainly because They have one son who thinks I’m about the funniest thing EVER and one who makes me work for his love… I like a little bit of a challenge. And I win every time!

Because  a blog post seems lonely without pictures Here are a couple…
