Blessings Times Two

Welcome to our little piece of the world. We are blessed with health, happiness, & families. We have been blessed twice by different birthfamilies. Each birthfamily was at a time in their life when they needed us & we needed them. We each have been able to bless the other. So this blog is primarily for our children's birthparents who blessed us with the most precious gift of being parents. Thank you for allowing us to be blessed with the precious gift of children.

Happy July

It is hard to believe that July it here & going into the second full week, phew the summer is buzzing by!
Shayla is full in her 'I don't want to do that mode' & Hayden is in the thick of speech camp/OT sessions/Horse therapy/ESY.
It is nice to sorta let our hair down & go w/ the flow of eating supper when the mood hits or when Hayden is screaming &/or crying...that's a pretty sure sign that he is needing to eat.  Laundry is a mass marathon on Friday evenings, Saturdays are for yard work &/or pool time....I love the summer.....I love warm weather!

It is 11 days until my birthday & I always thought 40 was O-L-D....but not so much now that I will officially be in that 40 something group...oh, geese I guess that makes me O-L-D........NOT!  Tim tells me that he is working on the details for a birthday gathering for me, hopefully it will all come together.

I am still working on the weight loss, it's been an up & down & up sort couple of weeks...but I'm still over that 50# mark.  I try to exercise every day & working really hard on giving up my diet Coke habit.  I wanted to reach my goal by my birthday...but I'm just not seeing that happening.  As Tim tells me, I've gotta be happy w/ where I am right now & look at how far I've come.  I will get to that next goal, it's just gonna take a little while longer.

Pre-4th of July cook out pictures:
