Life Is All Around

Your Invited

Anyone want to come to my house for Thanksgiving?

We're working hard on our very first bird. 

Let's just hope my family doesn't see this until AFTER we have eaten our meal.

(Somebody really should have warned me how slippery those suckers are. ..)

I'm surrounded by little men lately... and I love it!

Here is a sneek peek for Kinzi!

I've been through some things this year... I've seen some things that I never thought I'd see. Things have happened that have changed me and have sent me to a place that I've never been to before. When I was a young mother, I thought that life would always be just as it was. I thought my babies would always be babies, and the childhood of my children would be long and would pass ever so slowly.

I thought I had all the time in the world.

As time has passed by {more quickly than I ever thought it could} I have learned how swift and sharp reality can be. Life can be short. Little ones can leave us. Loved ones can leave us. My younger self would have never been able to imagine the pain that comes with witnessing how fleeting and fragile life can be. I don't know how to repair holes that have developed in my heart.... I don't know how to be the same person that hasn't yet realized that life will someday change, and that there is no way to get back lost time. The seemingly endless parade of days passes by as we wait for the next chapter... and then before we know it we are wondering how it all passed by so quickly. 

Without feeling pain and sorrow we can't ever know pure joy. I'm hoping that walking through the rough, winding road leads to a beautiful, peaceful place.  I'm hoping that one day I will be able to stop asking "Why?"

Right now I just don't have very many answers. 

What I have though, is today.

Today, the people that I love are here.
