Beautiful day in KY

Today is the first day when I am thinking...yes, I think Spring is FINALLY here to stay. Unfortunately I have one sick little one, so we have been pretty well restricted to home. This is not all bad. I find myself almost enjoying sick days (these days) because it is one sure way to make me slow down and tend solely to my little one. It is so hard to "live in the moment" when there are just so many durn Mommy jobs to do. I am really trying to take time these days to stop, breathe, and listen to my children as I know these days are few. I don't want to look back and wonder why I was so busy with laundry, bills, and "to do" items that I didn't take the time to enjoy watching my children grow and develop. I believe today I will open the windows, "breathe", and take a good listen to my babies.

My first blog

I don't know what I am doing just yet, but I know we had a beautiful day in KY and was inspired to write by a friend of mine, who I saw at the park today. It has been a REALLY wonderful week for me. I have great hope for 2009, as my 2008 was pretty rough for myself and my extended family (more about that later). So far, 2009 has brought only good news, and it gives me great optimism! A beautiful, sunny day in the middle of January only adds to this optimism. I will write more later about my beautiful family and other things that bring great joy to my life.
