Darby Turns Two

Can you tell someone had a little cake icing?? It’s OK…we’ve been celebrating birthdays. I’ve had more cake than I care to admit. Darby liked her cake, too. It didn’t make it from the kitchen before we noticed it was missing a piece…. It’s been a quick two years. It’s hard to imagine her so big- it seems like yesterday…

Mama’s Bathroom

We’ve been working right at a month to prepare mom’s house to sell. The little things, I think, are what bring me to tears. They just remind me of her so very much. I feel like I could just run my hands across them and almost feel her with me. I decided to snap some pictures of this bathroom. Mama…

Visiting Jacob

Paul and I dropped by earlier this week for lunch with Jacob at his new job…. He really like his position and seems to be learning quite a bit. We enjoyed spending time with him!

Pure Joy

Jackson, 9 months… (yes, I know he’s got a cookie smooshed on his shoulder…such is life with toddlers! *smile*)

A Favorite Gift

Emma, made this for me this past Mother’s Day. It was definitely a *favorite* gift. I’m a blessed mama.

Something Fun

I found in my mom’s things… A napkin from my parent’s wedding. I had never seen one! They were so pretty!

Visiting…

Paul drove me by to just sit and cry for a while….

So Very Tired

Too much life going on right now. *smile* Little Miss Meredith just couldn’t make it through church on Wednesday night.

We’re almost done. I’ve been on the phone with an attorney, an accountant, and her creditors working our way through these details so…

Updating Posts…

I’m trying to catch up on posts I’ve had written in recent months. Some of these were just so raw, *too real*, I just couldn’t post them on my blog.  As I was going through my files this morning, I found them and decided to post them according to the dates when they were written. So, here they are….It’s hard…

We’ve spent the last few weeks cleaning out my mama’s home. It’s been so odd to be surrounded by her things- it’s a mix of sadness and sweet memories. I’ve found countless things I made for her over the years…little pillows, photo albums, cross-stitch, etc.  Each one held it’s own memory of a season of her life. I’ve missed her…
