The Dragon's Rest

There is a special spot on my kitchen windowsill, where i keep some very special treasures...My boy Seth gifted me this little sleeping dragon, along with all these special rocks, and the robin's egg shell he found in his yard the other day. And every time i do my dishes, i can look at all these special gifts and think of him, and know that i am loved....It really is a magic place for me...

Happy Birthday X Two!

It is so hard to believe that just one year ago today - this morning, we were all sitting anxiously in the waiting room of a local maternity ward, waiting for the arrival of our newest family member Lola. I spent the time talking to various members of our wonderful family(who are always there when you need them!), wearing out my prayer beads, and crocheting nervously... I remember being amazed at the quiet strength of her Daddy Jeramie, and the awesome focus and determination of my daughter Carly, to get this baby born. Still to this day i am so proud of how strong she was, how hard and long she labored without complaint, to give birth to our new baby...

And how amazing is it that Lola was born on the very same day as her big brother Seth! Everything about this day is special...

What a difference a year makes....

Happy Birthday to two of the people i love the most in the whole wide world!
