Happy Birthdays...

Today is Addison's Half Birthday! I can't believe how fast time has gone. She is already trying to pull herself up on her knees. Before I know I she will be crawling. She started saying "Da-da" yesterday. That pretty much all she mumbles now, "da-da-da-da-da-da-da". I was so excited I called TJ at work, he said she had been doing it on and off for the last day or so. He didn't want to tell me cause he thought it would hurt my feelings that she said "da-da" first. He's so funny sometimes. Poor little girl, she still has an ear infection, she just yanks on her ears. I know that they hurt, but she has been so good through it all.

Today is also my Grandma's Birthday. She would have been 83. It is so funny how things change. Happy Birthday Grandma B!

What a crazy life


Life never ceases to amaze me. One day everything can be going just the way you want it too and the next will be the complete opposite. We have been really busy the last week. Last Wednesday my Grandma passed away and in the middle of planning a funeral and taking care of her things Addy got sick. It was a pretty rough week. After a few days of feeling sorry for myself I decided I needed to start looking at my glass a little differently. My Grandmother is in a far better place, a place with no sorrow or heartache, and though it still stings I know that I will be able to see her again. It will be rough... when she's not at the 4th of July "Barbie-Q", or when I don't get a handpicked card for my birthday, especially not being able to go visit her and have her remind me to close the "Snake Door". I miss her but everything is just that way it supposed to be, and thats ok. We are also lucky that up until this point Addy has never been sick, and even with a double ear infection she still her happy little self (sometimes I wish I could be a happy and she is). I am truly blessed.
