School days



Well my little girl has been going to school, this marks her third week. It has been hard, but not near as hard as I thought it would be. Her first day she walked right in and didn't look back. I thought that it was a good sign, but I learned that sometimes having an independent child is not always the best thing. Her second week landed her in the "Time Out" chair. To put it mildly I was slightly upset. I can't say that I'm really that surprised but I will say she has a lot of her father in her. I have been told about how he was always in the time out chair. Knowing about how he grew up helps me understand him better. He had a rough life. He has a sister that was born with Ondine's curse (AKA congenital central hypoventilation syndrome) basically, when she goes to sleep her brain does not tell her lungs to work. When she was born they basically focused everything on her, and honestly they still do. You had better not sneeze or cough around her because if you do you will have to leave, because they will not have anyone with any type of germs around her. It has been really hard for my husband, and when our daughter was born I know that one think that really scared him was the thought that our child would be born with it. But God was looking out for us. And honestly the entire time I was carrying her I knew that everything would be fine. I guess I just have that kind of faith in the God I serve. I know that He is watching out for me and that in the end all things work together for good to them that love the Lord.

A Sock Monkey for my little girl



This is the Sock Monkey that I made my little girl. She said she wanted a girl sock monkey so I made it so that it would have eyelashes. It has a hat but she does not like the hat on her new toy, she'd rather another toy wear the hat. It is the first time that I have ever made one and I am happy with the way it turned out.

Last Vacation before school starts



Well it won't be long before my little girl starts school (less than a week actually). My husband and I took a trip to the beach for our last vacation before she starts school. We did not plan anything special, except to sit back and relax. The only plans I had was to sit on the beach and make a sandcastle, and of course spend some time with my husband and little girl. We did and I can honestly say we had a wonderful time. I made a sandcastle and my little girl made one right beside me. It was a wonderfully fun time. My husband likes to walk along the edge of the water and look for sharks teeth, and normally he finds a few, he has even taught our daughter what to look for and I think she enjoys it. Yes we had a wonderfully vacation. Times like these are precious and can't be repeated. I enjoy the times I have with my family. They are times to cherish and hold dear. n
