Thankful

There are some days where I am so thankful. I hope you feel the same way I do...that is all ;)

Relined.

I came home from work today ad found the greatest surprise...my mom and dad had redone my pond! Before my parents did this it could have honestly been called a swamp! Now my frogs and fish are swimming around the clear waters in their "happy haven" :) (I couldn't help myself!)

It's random acts of kindness,like this, that make me keep myself in check. I am so blessed to have parents and family who would do anything for another. I really couldn't ask for more! Now it's time to PAY IT FORWARD!

Out and about.

I don't know if it's the last days of summer or the beautiful weather but I can't stand to be in my house! Liam and I go from park to park to being outside in the yard. We play and play and play until he can't keep his eyes open anymore. I am loving every second of it. It's been so much fun this summer to watch him grow. I feel like everyday there is a new challenge and everyday he conquers the quest. It makes me sad to see school buses driving around and school zone signs obnoxiously flashing. When those days come I will be very sad for the end of summer but as for now I can't wait to see what fall brings us :)

Vampires at the playground

I was at the park yesterday with Liam and ran into an old high school friend and her two year old son. After about 30 minutes (of some hard play) Liam was screaming with the evidence of a whooping bite mark on his arm! The first thought that came to my mind was to kick that little 2 year old's booty down the tube slide...but after some careful consideration and a little thought I was just happy that Liam wasn't the biter!

These things happen with toddlers and I completely understand. I can't even imagine not being able to fully communicate! Liam's tears were gone before we knew it and of course he got a huge cookie to make up for it ;)

I'm BAAAACK!

Well hello again stranger! It's been too long. I have truly missed blogging but I knew I didn't want to come back until I could truly commit myself.

The other day I was rolling around the floor with Liam and felt this overwhelming sense of happiness. I have always known how lucky I am but at that moment I really felt it. Like in my soul. I know it sounds strange but do you know where I am coming from?? One of those moments where you just need to sit there and soak it all in and say a little "thank you" for everything you have. I am so lucky to have the life I have been given and I can't wait to keep writing about the craziness that's comes with it!
