"sometimes miracles arrive
so tiny that we cannot feel
the weight of them –
and yet we are still changed,
and we are blessed none the less…"
"I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things fall together."
She has found her favorite cupboard she is hiding in. I could not find her and I was hollering "Cailan" and I heard some giggling and look who I found.
Look what I did to Daddy tonight!! I am such a little ham but Mommy and Daddy love me so!!! She did this all on her own. I was upstairs and Darren hollered down and when I went to look she was piling all her stuffies on top of Daddy. She is so cute!!!
Can you believe we will have to start the Christmas shopping soon.....I dread it with all the people in the stores. I love Christmas....decorating, cooking, wrapping presents. However, I hate the crowds and how hateful people can be. I think we lose the meaning of Christmas. I feel that Christmas is suppose to mean being with family, telling them how much they mean to you. Mostly, I think it is to watch the wonder in our children's eye when they wake up Christmas morning to see what Santa has brought and how many cookies he ate. When you see that you forget how bad the economy is, how hard it is to fill your fuel tank.......and we give thanks for the one day we remember that FAMILY is the reason for the season. Merry Christmas everyone. xoxo
Ladybug....She just does not like the camera anymore. I had to chase her all over the yard. She had fun though. We went to Grammy Spaulding, Nana & Papa Priest and to a few friends then we went home. Brandon went with his friends. I am waiting for the pics. from my friend. She was tuckered out and slept all night long. YEAHHHHH!!!!
Here are pictures from Cailan's photo session. She did not want to be there today! It was comical trying to make a toddler do something. I guess we have been introduced to her terrible two's haa haa....She is very bullheaded like her mommy! So we did manage to get a few shots before she lost it. xoxo
The mother of three. Baby Dylan was welcomed into our family on October 25th at 10:37 am.....also 6 1/2 weeks early. Weighing in a 5lbs. 9 ozs. 19" long and just picture perfect. We are so excited and overjoyed to finally meet this little one. Obviously he was too as he came before he was suppose to. Brandon Michael is our little man he is 13 and the apple of our eye. Our little Princess Cailan Marie is 3 and has us wrapped around her little finger. She is our MIRACLE baby, as I have stage III Endometriosis. I believe it was the surgery that the specialist did in Portland that gave us our angels. Darren and I have been married for 12 years and we grow stronger every day. He is such a great husband and father not to mention my BEST FRIEND. He owns his own Welding and Fabrication Company. He has worked very hard to build it to where it is today. We live in the northern mountains of Maine which is a great place to raise kids. We love all the seasons and enjoy skiing, snowmobiling, ice fishing and spending time with our kids and traveling. I hope this blog keeps everyone updaed on what happens in our family. ~xoxo~
