CA, Sept 2011

This past week, our little family went on a much needed and much deserved vacation. We were in CA for 4 glorious days and enjoyed Newport Beach, both Disney parks, and Laguna Beach. We had an absolute blast and cannot wait to do it agian. Braydon especially can't wait to go back to the beach and build sand castles, fly like Superman at California Vaction's ride California Soarin and to also "boom Zurg" on the "Buzz Ride" at Disneyland.

Enjoy the pics :)

Braydon's 3rd Birthday Party 4.01.11

Yesterday we celebrated Braydon's 3rd birthday with a Spiderman themed party (Braydon's wishes). Braydon was SUPPOSE to dress up like Spiderman, but decided not to as soon as he saw his Daddy.

Daddy dressed up as The Hulk, just as Braydon asked him to do. Even though, for the past 3 weeks, Daddy and Braydon discussed that Daddy was going to be The Hulk and would be GREEN like The Hulk, Braydon decided almost immediately upon seeing Daddy yesterday, that he DID NOT like Daddy green... a meltdown followed shortly thereafter, but he finally came around once Daddy washed the green off his face.

Yesterday was a great day, and I cannot believe our sweet baby is a three year old little boy (who loves all things Super Hero)!

I'm at peace...

Today is the four year anniversary of the day our first born son and daughter (Quinn and Addison) were born. It is also the four year anniversary of their death. And though I never thought I'd feel at peace about our tragic parting, I'm pleased to say that today I am.

I do have my moments of sadness, but those moments don't present themselves as often as they have in the past, nor do I fall to pieces when I'm caught off guard.

All in all, my heart and mind are at peace.

I pray that I live a life that honors them, and always will. I pray and hope they know how much I/we love and miss them. And I hope they know that I/we carry them with us every single day.

Even though I'm sad about what this day means for our family, and what it always will, I'm at peace about where I/we are in our life.

So, while I might cry a few tears today, I'll also honor their memory by being fully present in this day; by not taking a single second with my son, husband, and family for granted.

Until we meet again, sweet babies, we love and miss you endlessly!!!

I just love this little boy!!!
