Learning to enjoy this dance, this life, it's ups & downs, sometimes plain inside out or clear off the map; it is our life! We are blessed to share this dance together as Mother & Daugher, as a family. Here is our journey.....

Two Years Ago........
Two years ago today, was one of the best days of my whole life!! The memories of that day, the emotions, and total praise will linger in my heart always! This is the date in 2007 that I found out that I was pregnant......... that I would finally be a Mommy!!! Thank you, Lord, for blessing me with the most angelic, intuitive, beautiful, graceful daughter in the world. Becoming a Mom has forever changed my comprehension and meaning of Love!

My oh my......16 Months Old!!
Happy 16 month Birthday!!!!!
Angel, you are growing so quickly. I looked at you yesterday, and for the first time……. I really saw that you are a toddler now. Every post, I gasp at how quickly you are growing, and beg for you and time to stand still. I grasp so tightly to every moment that is passing that I often lose track of the present. So for this post….. (and I make no promises for the future) I will reveal in the present, and the gift that every moment is with you, my angel. Today I will lift my arms, bow my head, and praise God for this moment, this day, this adventure. I will not cling to the past, and I will not worry, wonder, and try and figure out the future. I will simple say, ‘Thank you, Lord, thank you’.
Aubrey, the gift of you, your life, your presence…………. Is more than enough for me. You have blessed me more than I could have ever imagined, and more than I ever deserved. You are God’s example to me of pure, all encompassing, never ending….. Unfailing LOVE. You are my greatest teacher, my greatest love, and my greatest blessing. And I say Thank you……..
Here is what is happing these days:
- Breezy loves Airplanes! She always hears them and points up, whether or not we are outside or in the house.
- She still isn’t saying very many words, but she does have specific sounds for certain things….. like the dogs, when she is telling the dogs to go away, when she hears Nani get home, for music she likes, when she is happy.
- Oh, and she will definitely let you know if anything has been left open or out of its place. She particularly dislikes the kitchen cabinets, refrigerator door, and microwave door being left open! Totally bugs her!!
- She also doesn’t like it when the dogs itch or lick their paws. I’m not sure if she learned it from me, by me telling them to stop doing that, or if is just bugs her. Oh, and when we are feeding all 5 dogs…. Yes 5, they all have to be fed separately with different food & in different areas. When Tate (our piglet of the bunch) wolfs down his food and goes looking for more from the other dogs, Bree puts her hand out in the stop positions, says “eeewwww…..oooohhhh”, and follows him around the house until all the dogs are finished eating!! It’s really hilarious!
- Breezy LOVES and I mean L-O-V-E-S being outside!! These Seattle type conditions Dallas has turned into lately definitely don’t sit well will Miss Bree. She gets so frustrated, bored, and cranky. She will go to the window or front door and just point outside or to the car……………like “get me out of here Momma”!!
- She has been really fussy for about a month or so now. I don’t know if it’s those stinkin’ teeth or what. I know all those horrible molars are on their way, but seriously………. Why do they have to be so painful and drawn out!! AHHHHH!
- She went to the Zoo for the first time this past month (I’ll be back –posting that entry with pictures….. so look soon), the Arboretum (also a soon to be back-posted entry), and then to the pumpkin patch for our 2nd year in a row (another back post). It’s crazy how just 1 year can totally change our experience at the Pumpkin patch!
- Aubrey and I still meet with our Fab Four frisco play group at least once a week. They are the best, and are pretty much the only ones I have let close to me for the last several months. Introvert + Devastation + Extreme Loss & Betrayal = Total Hermit Crab!! God definitely made some provisions for Bree and I, by bring this play group into our lives! I love you ladies, and your wonderful babies!! I love that Bree already has her first BFF’s!! They have now known each other and seen each other weekly for half of their little lives……… and they were all born within 2 weeks of one another. So very very cool!!
- Her hair seems to be getting longer and longer (mainly in the back). I can’t decide if it will stay curly or if the longer and heavier it gets, it will turn wavy or straight?
- Bree also loves shoes! And she has a pretty big foot……………. She is a size 6! HA! Maybe she will be tall?
- This month her Nani just couldn’t resist, and bought little Bree a bunch of little girl furnature! Everything is absolutely so adorable, but we are a bit limited with space lately. Hopefully we will get our own little place soon; so Breezy can have her own little room/playroom.
- I’ve also been painting her little finger nails and toenails (when she is sleeping & still), and she just looks absolutely adorable running around with little red fingernails and toenails. Such a girly girl at times!
- Bree is still a little bit of a picky eater, and still not the best sleeper…… but we’re dealin’. :)
- She also enjoys coloring now! I’ll post her latest Picasso type creations soon.
- Next up: Pumpkin carving and Trick or Treating…………… Stay tuned!!! :)
