Lost Photos

I just found pictures of Jack when he was first born and when he was back in the hospital at 6 days old. I have been so sad because I thought we had never downloaded them. Yah!!!

Happy 9th Birthday Max

I have a never ending list of things that I love and admire about Max, but here is my top 10.

1. He is such a good big brother. His brothers wait all day long to play with him.
2. He is super creative. He has a never ending imagination.
3. He is a great swimmer, he swims 3-5 times a week for 1 1/2 hours.
4. He loves music, he is into the Police at the moment.
5. He makes friends easily and gets along with almost anyone.
6. He is really smart and gets really good marks in school.
7. He is a deep thinker, asks questions about life and religion that knock me off my feet.
8. He is adventurous, he likes to travel, and eat really great food (like sushi)
9. He is sweet. One night I came home from work at 5am to find Max sleeping in my bed. I climbed into bed and he woke up just long enough to kiss me on the cheek and say. "I love you mom"
10. He's handsome and really tall. I know more than one young lady with a crush on him :)

Max, I love you. Happy birthday!

What am I doing?

Its almost 2 am and I am up looking at family and friends blogs for the first time in months. I just got done listening to a 2 hour lecture for patho. and I should be going to bed but graveyard shifts have completely altered my sleep schedule.

I finished my last final a little over two weeks ago. It was a stress filled finals week but I managed to eek out an A and an A-. One week off, I read a novel and spent a ton of time with my kids, and I now am back at it again. Full time work and full time school. I can't help but wonder what am I doing? Why am I doing this? Is it the right choice? I felt so strongly about it when I made the decision and I think I have to go with those impressions and feelings because now I am too busy to know what it is I am thinking or feeling.

I haven't had my hair done since spring break, not even my eyebrows waxed. I haven't been out with Shelby on a date since the holidays. I miss my kids, family and friends.


I just hope I can do this.

Seth's First Birthday

My last baby is one. Wow, a period of my life is over. I am a little sad, and a little relieved, but mostly tired!

Jack is Three!!!!!!
