Daycare for Karlee:(

I knew this day was coming but I have been avoiding even thinking about it. Daycare:( I signed little missy up today. It's a church daycare and I really like it. It's small (which is one of the things I love) and there are only 4 others in her class. It's about 2 minutes from my house. She starts Monday, December 20th.

We finally have ALL the Christmas decorations up. Just in time to take them down:) It helped put me in the Christmas spirit. Now if I can just get on the wrapping I will be in business. Zeke is trying to find gifts and if I don't do something quick he will find them. Gotta love kids.

I get my Jordan this week for a week and a few days. Whatever will I do with 3 kids? I'm sure I will figure it out. I'm excited. Haven't seen my sweet girl in a couple of weeks.

I will be starting back to work this week. I'm very excited but very nervous. I haven't been to work since September. I hope I remember what to do. I'm sure it'll come back to me very quickly.

Road Trip!

This weekend, our little family took our first road trip together. We went to Meridian on Thursday, then to Grenada on Friday. It was nice to visit old friends and my sweet grandmother. Karlee did so good in the car. She's so sweet!

I still don't have my Christmas tree up:( Usually, i'm all over that but for some reason it doesn't feel like Christmas time to me. I can't get motivated. I've bought one gift. That's horrible. I need some spunk.

Hopefully, soon, I will be going back to work. I think that's part of my problem. Sitting around here is killing me.

Karlee's check up

Karlee went back to the doctor today. She weighed 6 pounds and 8 ounces and is 19 and a half inches long. The doctor said she is perfect (which I didn't have to hear that from her):)

Blessings

Last night, while I was tossing and turning trying to sleep, I started thinking about how blessed I am. I prayed and thanked God for the many blessings in my life. I pray all the time but never to the extent that I did last night. I think maybe I should do this more often. I saw a post about a 22 year old girl with a 4 month old that passed away. This weighed heavy on my heart. I complain to my family ALL the time but do I ever tell them how I really feel. So I wanted to write it out....

I am blessed with a wonderful husband who is my best friend. Joseph loves me no matter what. I know that I can be a little much sometimes and he has stuck by me through it all. I have done things to hurt him on purpose. Why would I do such a thing? I guess we all do. I honestly love him more than words. I hope to grow VERY old with him. He is the best father to my kids that I could've asked for.

I am blessed with a son, Zeke, who is a sweet, caring and loving child. I know everyone thinks their children are great. Zeke would give you the shirt off his back to help (literally). He has a heart of gold and I pray that he grows up the same as he is today. Of course he has his moments but they aren't what I thought they would be. My goal is to start telling him how I feel everyday.

I am blessed with this perfect little angel, Karlee. After all Joseph and I have been through, who would've guessed God would give me such a perfect child? I would do everything over again to have this outcome.

And of course, the usual. I am blessed to have a great job, a wonderful family that loves me unconditionally, great, dependable friends, and food on my table. There are many things I could list but you would get tired of reading it.

Now the hard part is for me to read this everyday and stop complaining about the little things. To live life to the fullest and be there for my children. Life is short and we are not promised tomorrow.

Starting over!!!

I have managed to delete all of my previous posts so now time to start all the way over....



Karlee Grace was born on November 01, 2010 at 12:27 p.m. She weighed 5 pounds 6 ounces and is as beautiful as ever. We are so thrilled to have this new addition to our family. Even Zeke is happy.



We also have a new nephew, Logan Reece, born October 28, 2010. He is a sweetie. Blessed is the only word that comes to mind.



That's about all that's new with us. Thanksgiving was great. We shared the day (weekend) with wonderful family and food. I hope to go back to work in a couple of weeks. I love staying here with Karlee but I'm not one to sit at home. I'm going bananas. More later!
