Quote of the day:
What God wants of you all is that you should live each day as it comes, like a
bird in the trees, without worrying about tomorrow. Be at peace and trust in
divine Providence and the Blessed Virgin, and do not seek anything else but to
please God and love Him.
~ST. LOUIS DE MONTFORT

missionary, 18th century
I'm feeling a little bit overwhelmed lately. They took Daniel off one of his meds so he isn't sleeping at night like he should and now we have to start at square one again in that department. And of course there is always so much more with him then we all talk about. Brandon didn't pass his eye test again so we're back to the doctors and new glasses for him (That he won't wear anyways but I still have to get them for him). Brady needs his tonsils and adnoids out. Itty needs some brain stem test to possibly figure out why he isn't talking yet. Boyce keeps talking about going to Alaska to work. I don't feel like I'm worrying about tomorrow like the quote of the day says not to, it just feels like it is all too much to process in this very second. I wish I was playing bunco with Tina tonight! Or having a really stiff drink with Joanna. Or a cup of coffee with Patricia. Or rolling down a hill with friend Dan. Or tap dancing in the warf with Joy. Or watching a movie with my mummy. Or shopping with my Memere. Or eating dinner with Crystal. Or swimming with Jennifer. Or talking on the phone with Evie. Or running around Cogshall with my old friends from highschool. Or reading a good book with myself. I know that none of these things seem tragic or anything but all together it is a bit much! I'm feeling paralized.
I have so much to write about but for now I just want to post this picture and I will write when I have more time.

I hope you know she is watching over you guiding your path. I'm loving you!!!
Quote of the day:
To know ourselves has always been the greatest of all lessons. For, if we know ourselves, we will know God.
And, in knowing God, we will become like God.

Well if it wasn't official before it sure is now. I am definitely a mom of boys.
Yesterday I opened Daniel's backpack and there was a horrific smell. Then I remembered
he put two worms in a plastic baggy in it the other day. I thought he would have taken
it out by now but guess what....he didn't!!! Yuck!!!!! I LOVE having boys!!!

This quote of the day seems really
fitting for us today. January 13th 2007 we had a 10 month old baby
dropped on our doorsteps. (of course that is just a figure of
speech). And then we picked a baby up at the hospital on February
13th, 2008. He was 2 days old. And now today is our big day. We
welcome them into our family. We had held our breaths long enough. It
was a roller coaster ride that is finally done. Hurray!!!
This is an old picture but I realized I haven't been able to post any so this is the one that shows their personalities the best. Plus I love this one. I used this one for our invites. Yeah the invites I didn't have time to hand out it has been so busy around here. Tina came in last night and Dad(Bob) got in yesterday afternoon. And today is FINALLY here!!!
Welcome to our family Brady and Jaden.
We love you very much!!!
Quote of the day:A love without silence is a love without depth.

Sorry for hanging up so quickly Dan! I love you!!! And no the big
boys didn't end up dunking Bun in the tub. I saved him in time. LOL
I'm loving you!

VBS started here in town. I never have to 'sell' Daniel on going. He's such a joiner
and he loves doing things with other kids. Brandon on the other hand doesn't like to
do anything!!! It sucks to the point where he never will try new things. Monday
morning I dropped Daniel off, came home, told Brandon which girls from his class were
there and he jumped up and down asking if it was to late to go. I thought it was
hilarious and it took me two seconds to get in the car. I did not want him to change
his mind before I got him there so I wasted no time at all. Of course if you ask him
he'll tell you he wanted to go because one of his friends was there.
Ha! I know better!!! I just can't believe my son is actually starting to like girls
in that way. At least I don't have to beg him to go. He got right up and didn't
argue about going this morning. We'll see what tomorrow brings.
