A conversation with Mia

Mom, why do you call it a pair of pants when it is only 1?
I don't know, because it has 2 legs I guess.
What about a pair of underwear?
2 leg holes?

Chillaxin'

I found Marshall just chillin in his sister's bed today! 

Love this smiley boy!

Marshall

He does some cute things and I don't want to forget them!

I love the way he stands with his hands behind his back and watches TV!

He takes his socks off from the front first.

Every time.

I love it!

Melted my heart

Today Marshall was playing with his sidewalk chalk.

I heard his sweet little voice say "M is Mimi".

Then I looked over and saw this.

He loved her so.

Bubble Gun!

The only kind you'll find in our house!

A visit.

Marshall and I went and sat with Mimi for a few minutes today.

It was very peaceful and I could feel her there.

As we walked away Marshall said

"Bye bye Mimi".

We will be ok.

We have each other and we have love and we have our memories.

Mia's Valentine!

It turned out so cute!

She was pretty proud.

Valentine's Day

This is not the usual happy day of love for us today.

Mia is home sick from school.

And Caleb and I are on our way to Mimi's funeral.

In a way I look forward to the closure that the funeral will bring.

But I am so sad. 

Time will heal me.

And she will always be with me.

Mia's Reading Log

This is the list of all the books Mia has read so far this year!

Those are all chapter books.

She is in kindergarten.

So proud of our little bookworm!

We lost our Mimi tonight.

She was my husband's Grandma, my kid's Great Grandma and my friend.

I'm going to miss her so much.

Happy Birthday To Me!

My sweet husband sent me flowers today!

A rare and special treat!

And my mama sent me the griddle I have been wanting!

Yummy!

To cheer me

I haven't planted any flowers this season. 

Today was the second day of gloomy gray skies here.

My spirits needed lifting.

I could feel my soul brightening with every flower planted.

When I was finished, most of the clouds had broken up and the sun was shining.

Just what me and my new flowers needed.

My Mim.

She's slipping away from me.

Last time I saw her she couldn't quit touching me.

She held my hand and rubbed it. 

We cuddled in her twin size bed.

We told each other how much we love the other.

No matter where this journey takes her, she will always be in my heart.

Bubbles!

I blew some bubbles with my best boy today!

He ate the solution, more then he blew bubbles!

I couldn't convince him to hold the wand further away from his mouth!

The weird part was that he really didn't seem to mind the taste.

Only the rare funny face and upset over why he couldn't get it to work!

Silly boy!

We had fun, and that is what matters most!

Love this terrible two year old!
