The big purple dinosaur has once again invaded our home. Rylee has now discovered Barney and wants to watch it ALL the time! She also has a baby that she confiscated from my moms house when we were there on Friday. She had a small time apart from her when she was left at Aunt Shelly's house, but the reunion was oh so sweet!
I love when they start having opinions about things and show signs of really caring about what they want. She is such a fun and sweet little girl.
Today has been a low key day. Tayler is at preschool right now. It really is so nice to have some time in the afternoon to get things done. I really need to have a goal or plan so that I actually accomplish things and not just waste the time away.
I started looking through my wedding pictures today and the picture book my mom put together for me when I got married because I want to put a collage together of pictures of my dad. Of course I sat and sobbed in the quietness of my home. It was a tender moment to reflect back on all the times he appeared and to think of the circumstances of each individual picture. I really miss him so much. There is such a void in our lives, but I have to say I really do love my family-- each one of them for different things and different personalities and perspectives they bring to my life. I know that things haven't been the "best" lately, but I really love each of them and their spouses more than I can express. Thanks for being so great- all of you!
I also am so grateful for the relationship I have with my mom. I have always known that she has been there whenever I needed her, but I didn't take advantage of that much growing up, and for that I have many regrets now that I am a mother, but since I can't change the past I can only go forward to make things right and I really appreciate her and her kindness and unconditional love towards me and my family. I love to be with her and find all the things we have in common.
Each day is a new experience to learn and try to better ourselves. I hope that I can do that and make those I love realize that both in the things I do and how I express myself. I am truly blessed in this life!
A friend emailed me this Movie today and it totally touched me. Enjoy
I think it is about to pick Tayler up so I hope everyone has a great day!

Sorry you are missing your papa. I'm sure it's good to have a big cry every now and then.
A very reflective post.
