My Sheep

Alexis Lynn asked Jesus to come into her heart; to be her Lord & Savior on July 17, 2007. This got me thinking about life and the purpose of "my" life. I did not realize the purpose of my life until I had children. After graduating high school, I immediately went to college to obtain my degree and find the purpose of my life; surely this accomplishment is what gives you your purpose. Right? WRONG! It was during my college years that I met my husband, Craig. The moment I met him, I KNEW, I was going to marry that man! (He did too....shhhhhh) From the instant we met we were inseparable; he is truly my best friend. Although past relationships did not endure, I always knew (deep, deep down) they were never meant to be! ****For, God gives us the desires of our hearts!**** Needless to say, I got hitched to the man of my dreams, I obtained my BA and a great job!!!! Surely, I must of found the purpose of my life by now....Nope, still empty! (I must mention, although I had not discovered the purpose of my life, I was still extremely happy and very much in love with Craig) Craig and I then decide to build our 1st house. Wow! Now we were new home owners. Surely, I must have purpose in my life. Still, no purpose! Eleven months after we closed on our new home, I gave birth to our 1st daughter Alexis Lynn and then again 4.5 years later Londyn Paige arrived. I found the purpose of my life in my children! This purpose, ordained by God, is to take care of my sheep. To teach them about Jesus and to raise Godly daughters who fear the Lord. The purpose of my life is to make sure my sheep, (including Craig) that their names are written in the Book of Life.

Give Her A Brake

Alexis Lynn is our little improviser. Once she gets her mind set on doing something, it's as good as done. She's been busy working on constructing a "Parking Lot" for all of her road racers that have lots of SPEED! If you see her working on a parking lot near you..... Give Her A Brake!

I'm Going To Canada On A Bus

We've all been suffering from a sinus infection for the past twelve days. So, I take the girls to the doctor on the 1st day symptoms appear; runny/stuffy noses, fever, sore throat and ear pain. The doc sees the girls for one second and says, "I think they have a virus that will have to work itself out. I would continue to use over-the-counter medications to relieve the stuffiness and pain." One the fifth day, mind you it's Friday, we all still have stuffy noses and the whole nine yards mentioned above along with GREEN TREASURES! After making a call to the docs office they finally agree to call in a RX to help relieve the cough/congestion after 1st asking if I wanted to bring the girls back into the office! WHAT? And pay another $15 copay???? Needless to say, we were back in the docs office the following Monday and the girls now had an infection that required antibiotics. Since our sickness appeared to be lasting more than seven days and the girls were now on antibiotics, I made an appointment to see my PCP, paid another copay and pick up a prescription from the pharmacy for myself. OH, did I mention Craig, too, had a doctors appointment. We are copaid and coinsurance out! That's why I'm taking the bus to Canada, to get our meds a whole lot cheaper.

Copay/Coinsurance For 1 Week

Office Visits $393
RX's $188

She's Waiting For Us

Blu

(1989 - 2007)

They say memories are precious and I guess that is true,

I never wanted memories, I only wanted you

I love you my dear one with all me heart,

It makes me sad that we are apart

So by St. Peter's heavenly gate,

Some day I will meet you there,

So for me patiently wait.

Hugs and Kisses

Enough Already!

Londyn Paige's Third & Fourth Month

The past few months have been amazing! We've changed dozens of diapers, given hundreds of feedings, answered countless cries, and dried even more tears...and the journey is only beginning. Londyn is now 4 months old and weighs 15 lbs. She now tries to sit up, reaches for objects and rolls from her stomach to her back. She's more lively than ever. She's becoming more aware of what we are SAYING as she notices the tone of our voice and the stress we put on particular words like, NO! We love engaging in conversations with her as she babbles right back, we call them early chats. Londyn loves to look at herself in the mirror as she smiles from ear to ear. She brings her hands together and reaches for nearby objects, stretches out her legs and kicks forcefully and occasionally brings her "BIG TOE" to her mouth for a quick nibble. She definitely notices when we are no longer in view as she cries to bring us back in sight. Alexis and Londyn have an enormous bond of sisterly love. Londyn keeps her eyes glued to "Big Sister" most of the time.
