"The family. We are a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together."
--Erma Bombeck
"People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway. If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway. The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway. For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway."
--Mother Teresa

My baby isn't a baby anymore!


A few days ago, I put Emily's hair in pig tails and it just hit me all of a sudden that she's growing up! She looks so much older when her hair is pulled back! I'm sad to think how fast time has flown by with our sweet Emily. We have had so much fun watching her learn and discover new things. It's hard to believe that last year at this time she was just a tiny baby and depended on us for everything...now she insists on doing things all by herself! It's ever harder to believe that two years ago at this time we didn't know if we would ever have the opportunity of being parents...she was definitely worth the wait!!
