A Reminder

It's always hard to see a life leave us so suddenly.  It never seems fair.  It's a harsh reminder that we truly need to embrace life and those we love.  We need to cherish every single moment that we are given.  Today, Heaven gained an Angel, my Uncle Bill.  We love you!

I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude, appreciation, and most sincere thanks to every single person that has been a part of my life.  To those that have supported us and continue to do so; whether it be through a helping hand, a prayer, a nice meal, a kind thought, or through a donation.  We feel completely blessed to have such loving people surrounding us.  We have been reminded that there really are pretty amazing people in this world.  I never want people to feel that their compassion has gone un-noticed or under appreciated.  We know, that it has been because of special people in our lives, that we have been able to make it through as many things as we have had to face over the past several years.  I don't think there is enough thanks in this world to give for all that we've received...

but Thank You is all I know to say.

Taleigha has been such an amazing little Super Star.  She is now choosing to WALK as her main form of mobility!!!  She is not able to get into an upright standing position without help yet, so she still crawls to something stationary to pull herself up, and then proceeds to walk in her wobbly little way throughout the house.  She uses different things as her stability points while she walks... things like the wall, a chair, a couch, basically anything that she can "graze" along the way, to help gain some balance that she loses after taking several steps on her own.  I can already see major improvements though with her balance.  She is actually started to stand in one spot for a few moments now.  That takes an extreme amount of balance.  She is so incredibly determined.  She falls repeatedly throughout the day, and yet, she brushes it off and tries, tries again!  You can see something truly special in her... something that I only wish that I could possess myself.   

...It is the kind of strength that can move mountains!

 

Taelyn.  Oh she has my heart.  She has a way of making everything okay, no matter what!  Her smile and laugh is absolutely contagious.  She has definitely turned into a silly little thing!  She just started walking around the house, crinkling her button nose, showing off her little "toofers" (as we like to call them), while making goofy noises, which quite often consist of grunting and giggling!  She has an adorable personality.  She always knows how to melt my heart!  She is also in the "test Mommy and Daddy" stage... always pushing to the limits!  It's perfect though.  It keeps us on our toes! 

...She's perfect!

 

It's pretty amazing to have the two girls.  We get to experience things with each of them that are very special to us.  I can't thank God enough for giving us such blessings!  

It's an honor to be their Mommy!

I need to say a very special thank you to a very special man!  I honestly don't know how I ever got so lucky, but I have a phenomenal husband.  Clint is my rock.  He is my everything.  No matter what happens in life, he is always there for me.  He is also the most remarkable father to our girls.  I find myself at times just staring at him when he is with them.  I smile because those moments are precious to me.  I couldn't even begin to explain what Clint has done for me over the years, but I know that I would be lost without him in my life.  I cherish him.

...I Love You, Clint!
