A year has come and gone

Mixed emotions today as I have come to terms we will never have another baby in the home.  That chapter is closing and we are moving on.

A year ago today we rushed to the hospital in a snow storm to have Luke.  I would love to say that he has been a blessing and we have loved him from the moment he was born.  We loved him but it was hard.  The first six months were some of the hardest of my life.  I will forever be grateful for my mother who was so helpful during those months when Lee was working long hours and Luke cried what seemed like every day. 

Every day Luke is showing more and more of his personality.  He is actually pretty calm easy going kid unless he is tired and then he is throwing himself on the floor out of control crazy.  He is just recently starting to show interest in books. 

Luke follows Andrew around wanting to do every thing Andrew does (except walk).  I am guessing he will be walking in a couple of weeks.  Just in time for Spring.  It is funny it has taken him this long to walk because he was my earliest crawler.

Luke loves being outside and I am so glad we have had some warmer weather to we have been able to spend the last few days outside.  I am looking forward to summer.

I love that Luke and Andrew are a pair.  A pair of trouble makers.  :)  I am so blessed I was able to spend Luke's first year home with him. 

Luke still doesn't like to be snuggled or held.  He never has and it has always been sad for me.

Lee and the older kids can make Luke laugh this belly laugh. 

He has said mama a few times but that is it. He is the quiet trouble maker getting into things and figuring things out with out letting anybody know until it is too late. 


Very mixed emotions as I put my baby to bed tonight and realized he is no longer my baby.

LOCK DOWN

The governor came out on Wednesday and ordered a lock down.  It seems like a good idea and will not changed our lives all that much.  We did decided that we would only go to the grocery store once a week we went last Friday.  We will go tomorrow which means it will be nine days.  Kids haven't been in a store in weeks.  Lots of time in the garden and working on yard projects.  It has been good and bad.  More family time and less running around.  But lack of structure over the past two weeks has been tough.  Tomorrow would be the day the kids start back to school.  It is likely they won't be going back at all this year.  Victoria will be the most effected.  No eighth grade graduation likely   The school could decide to bring back just eighth and 12th graders.  Either way they are all out until 4/20.  "distance learning" will start for the kids on 4/13.  Which is another reason I think they will end the schoo...

Time to dust this off

L:ong story short I came across something that made we want to add back to this. Not sure why but hwere we go. Life is constantly chaning and I feel so mnuch surround bu death lately. Not diredctly although I fee like that is coming but more just heartbreak for so many around me. Yesterday Victoria quailfied for state. It was an answer to a prayer. I prayed she would qualify and felt strongly she would. As we left her away at the meet she was certain as were we that she hadn't qualified and then the clouds parted and she will be able to run. She told me she prayed that she would have a good last high school race. and her last race was not grea. There were tears. And rears when she called me to tell me she qualified. So rad trip to ther side of teh state next weekend Wednesday Jake is going through the temple. So many mixed feelings for so many reasons. I shouldn't expect people to show up but sometimes it is just so hard when my mom is the only "church...

Feeling all the Feels

Right now I am feeling all the feels. We had such a great week with my nephew and Jake. The house is louder and has more enegy when all four kids are home. And our nephew is seriously one of favoriate people. He lets the boys hand on him and they just look up to him so muchd. So I am writting because I am not sure what else to do at this pount. I have been applying for a job(s) that I have been inspired to do for a long time. I have been really trying to to step upside of my comfort zone and apply for things that I know I can do although I have never done them before. I have been considering doing some writing and writing a book. I have no desire to be published I just want to be able to start being more creative . I have so many fears about so many things. Missy Kay turned 19 today and Andrew had his first tennis meet of the seaon. I am thankful for my people who show up to support and love us. There was this moment at the meet where one of the parents gave me haug aft...
