Today, Josie and I headed out to Maymont Park to take some new pics of my girls.I think they turned out great...but I think the subjects are cute too (I am not bias at ALL!!)
Look how big they are getting, and right before my eyes. Aubrey is an upcoming Kindergartner and Sydney the preschooler.
I am a mom to two lovable and silly little girls. I have created this blog in hopes of catching as many of their funny, quirky moments throughout our daily lives. I have a new found appreciation for how precious life is, especially after almost loosing my youngest daughter's life to a congenital heart defect.
Aubrey is a 6 year old princess. I have no idea how she got to be so "girly". I was such a tomboy, but I embrace her need for fanciness, bows, and dresses. Aubrey is smart, intuitive, passionate, and empathic. She truly is amazing girl and big sis.
My heart
Sydney is 2 1/2 feisty little girl. She was born with a severe heart defect, basically 1/2 heart, but she has a whole personality. Syd is strong willed, affectionate, full of life, and will do just about anything for attention. She is a funny little girl--our comic.
Half a heart
"It's a beautiful day up in heaven. Jesus is rounding up his tiniest angels, to go live on earth, and be born. One of the sweetest angels says to Jesus "I don't want to leave, I like it here, and I will miss you". He reassures the scared little angel that everything will be okay, and that she is just going for a visit. She is still not swayed on this idea. So Jesus kneels down, and says, "How about if you leave half of your heart here with me and take the other half with you, will that be okay?" The angel smiles and says, "I guess that will work". But the little angel is still a little scared. She asks, "Will I be okay with only half of my heart?" Jesus replies, "Of course you will, I have other angels there that will help out, and you will be fine." Then Jesus gives the angel more details about his plan. He says "When you are born, your mommy will be scared, so you have to be strong, and when you feel weak just remember that I have the other half of your heart." "Enjoy your time with your family, play and laugh everyday." "And when its time to come back to heaven, I will make your heart whole again. Always remember that you are not broken, just torn between two loves." -Author Unknown"
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; the courage to change the things I can; and the wisdom to know the difference.
Halfway Down
Halfway Down
A. A. Milne
Halfway down the stairs is a stair where i sit. there isn't any other stair quite like it. i'm not at the bottom, i'm not at the top; so this is the stair where I always stop.
Halfway up the stairs Isn't up And it isn't down. It isn't in the nursery, It isn't in town. And all sorts of funny thoughts Run round my head. It isn't really Anywhere! It's somewhere else Instead!
