Life Is Precious

As I sit here and look at a picture of the two beautiful children that God has blessed me with, I realize how incredibly precious life is and that we need to take advantage of every single second we are on this earth. A co-worker of mine lost his son last night. He was about 16 or 18 months old and had been fighting a bacterial virus, he was born with an immune deficiency and his body could not fight on it's own. He was the most precious little boy, and I can not even begin to imagine what they are going through right now. I know that everything happens for a reason, and that God can use all things for good, it is just so hard sometimes as a parent to watch another parent lose their child. Anyway, all this to say, life is short, don't waste a single minute, hug your children, tell them how much you love them, overlook the "stupid" stuff.

Yes that is right it snowed in Atlanta. Skylar has been praying since we moved here for Snow! Finally we got some, the kids even got to go sledding down the hills in our back yard and build a snow man! Here are some pictures of some neighborhood friends and Skylar, Ashley and my niece and nephew.

Skylar Turns 7


Skylar had his Birthday Party at Stevie B's this year. I can't believe that he is 7 years old already! It was a snowy day, so he did not have as many friends as he had hoped, but he ended up having a great time with his friends that did come. Happy Birthday Bugagoo!

Ok - I guess I have arrived

I am coming kicking and screaming! Just kidding. I just never got into the blogging thing, maybe because I don't think I am great at writing my thoughts down, and wonder who in the world would want to read them anyway. BUT....I have had some people tell me I need to enter the world of Blogging, so I am here.

I have the most wonderful family in the world. I can't say that life has been easy, but God is amazing and has carried us through it all, and we are getting closer and closer every day! I have two amazing children, both unique and very much their own person, I praise God for that every day, of course I also ask "WHY" when they go through their "Independant" moments, although I know I will be thankful when they are grown.

Anyway, Here I am!
