Catching Up! Jaxson is finally HERE! I'm a Gammy!

The last few weeks have been soooo busy and haven't had much time to post news.... but today is the day!

November 1, 2010:

My son and his wife welcomed their new son to the world! And we couldn't be happier ..... He is a little bit of HEAVEN!

NEVER Forget

I've learned.... you should always leave loved ones with a SMILE, a HUG, a KISS & the words I LOVE YOU.... it may be the last time you ever see them.

Remembering all the precious souls we have lost, the family members who lost them and for WE THE PEOPLE as a whole whose lives changed forever..... in the blink of an eye ... We will NEVER EVER forget ~09/11/01~

Truth & Love

He told me that once he forgot himself and opened up like a door with a loose latch and everything fell out and he tried for days to put it all back in the proper order, but he finally gave up and left it all there in a pile and learned to love everything equally.

The world is too dangerous for anything but truth and too small for anything but love. We can never really love anybody with whom we never laugh.

Love is the giver, not the gift.

Belly to Belly

These two are a hoot! Me thinks Cory has been having "cravings" right along with KL..... LOL... We are at T-minus 9 weeks! November 10th will be here before you know it!

Cory's Handy Work.......

My son is too funny.... he has created a picture of his "little man" by morphing KL's and his face into an image of what his little boy might look like. KL thinks it's weird, Cory just smirks because she thinks it's weird... LOL .... Time will tell to see just how close he is to the real thing!

.... and BABY makes 3!!!

GREAT NEWS!!!! Around November 10th "ish" we will be adding another member to our family.... Yes! Cory and KL are expecting a little BOY this fall and we couldn't be happier. I'm still getting my arms around being a "Grandma", but as soon as I see that sweet little face I will gladly assume the role. So, stay tuned... I'm sure my page here will be full of new and exciting things to come. :)

I Love You

I love you.

It’s not a weight you must carry around.

I love you.

It’s not a box that holds you in.

I love you.

It’s not a standard you have to bear.

I love you.

It’s not a sacrifice I make.

I love you.

It’s not a pedestal you are frozen upon.

I love you.

It’s not an expectation of perfection.

I love you.

It’s not my life’s whole purpose - or yours.

I love you.

It’s not to make you change.

I love you.

It’s not even to make you love me.

I love you.

It’s as pure and simple as that.
