It's Been A While

Well the blog is still here. How quickly I stopped posting my everyday thoughts. I found my way back after reading my cousin's blog on her recovery from being hit by a truck.

Maybe I will start again. Maybe not. I miss it, but not sure if I have the time. I was surprised to see that people still visit. I apologize to those of you who have "stopped by" looking for new posts.

So much has happened since my last post. Our new baby, Rylee Grace, was born on March 14th. She is such a beautiful baby. I am so in love with her as is everyone else. The kids are all doing well. Baseball season is about to start for Alex. Aubrie just won a county wide essay contest for the D.A.R.E. program and we will be attending a dinner and awards ceremony next month for her. Hallie is enjoying being a part of the Gifted and Talented Program. They did Mentos/Diet Coke Fountains last week. How fun is that? Madeline is getting over yet another bout of tonsillitus. Thank God we go to the ENT in two weeks. She needs those darn things OUT! She is enjoying school (as always.) Kaitlyn is getting so smart it just amazes me daily. She will be four in July and just seems so much older. Isabelle, ah, Isabelle. Our Isadevil on some days. She is a complete crack up. I get a good dose of laughter each day just because of Isabelle. She is such her own little person. She adores Rylee to pieces.

The two year anniversary of my Mom passing was on March 31st. It was a quiet day. I think I underestimated what my emotions would be like after just having a baby. It really sucks to be only 30 and have a new baby and your Mom is gone. I had a rough patch in the hospital just after we had Rylee and another one the 31st. I knew it would be hard, but never what it has been. I find myself saying again that she is supposed to be here. Ugh, gotta stop thinking about it.

We had snow this morning when we woke up! It is April 6th! It's not supposed to snow! Thank goodness the sun came out and has melted much of it. I am glad I cut my daffodils to arrange yesterday. The ones left outside are all wilted now.
