The Evolution of our Lives

Yesterday on a walk with Nick and Nicole, Ella started to talk about how smart she was. Sounds normal, right...no big deal...she was clear and easy to understand...sounds great, right! Unless you're Daddy and remember when she use to put the /f/ sound at the beginning of all /s/ words. So instead of saying that she was super smart, she use to say that she was "fuper fart."

Can't believe that is gone, one day those cute little things are just gone. You don't have time to prepare or even know that they are gone, it just happens and your heart breaks because there is no video, only the replay in my mind. A replay I hope to never loose. You won't hear or see those things again.

Tonight she helped make dinner, while getting things together she kept saying "this is going to be the best dinner ever." When Natalie went up to check on Sam she said, "you know what the best part of this dinner is, eating with family." How long until that joy and uninhibited love are tainted by the world. If it is up to her Daddy, I pray never.

Speaking of dinner, check out my burger: turkey buger grilled, toasted bun, sliced avacodo, fresh tomatos, dip egg, swiss cheese and old baby. Just missing a piece of bacon. Sooooo, good!!!

Natalie is not happy I have "pushed down" the one post she has done in the past 2 years. So scroll down and say a prayer for Donnie.

Hello to my great Natalie and Thomas! Thomas, you do have an awesome family and what a burger! (I just lost my first comment, trying to edit it! However, I'll try again now.)

As I was about to write a Christmas card, I decided to get up and finally comment on your blog that I have viewed several times. (Who knows why it has taken me this long to leave a comment? I do believe my diagnosis as having ADD is accurate and accounts for many of the dumb things I have done and not done, planned to do, forgot to do, lost, etc. But I don't give up easily, so I'm here now.)

I have so enjoyed looking at the pictures of all of you having such a great time and especially of your beautiful children. I know they will be special. I just checked out Nat's mom's blog also--she is pretty awesome, too.

I do promise to send the Christmas card with a long letter about my current activities--boring in comparison to yours. I also plan to enclose last year's card that the post office returned due to its having the wrong address. I've been intending to send it for 11 months now...

I'll be in touch, but I love checking in to see about your life.

With love,
Mrs. S.
