Feeling Weepy Today...

 
 I think the emotions of post-partum have caught up to me. Hard to believe Carrine is already one month old, the time is just going by way too fast. I told Jake last night that I wish life would just SLOW DOWN...but we all know that will never happen. It's amazing to think that in nearly 8 years of marriage Jake and I have 3 kids...very thankful for their health and our own health. We pray every day for continued good health in all of our family and friends.
 
 
 Missing my Gpa Shorty especially during this time of the year. With Duke losing out in the NCAA tourney on Sunday, I missed having my Gpa call me to "rub it in." Gpa also loved the MN Twins more than anything - fitting that Carrine turned a month old on the Twins season opener at Target Field. Gpa Shorty so loved to bet on sports games with us grandchildren. Carrine would've been Gpa's 13th great-grandchild - so glad Gpa got to meet Jett and baby Kenedee (just a month prior to his death). You are missed and thought of every day Gpa Shorty!
(Carrine is the same size as the Teddy Bear which is clothed in Gpa Shorty's clothes - pretty special)
 

With daycare being closed yesterday for the Holiday I got to spend a nice day with all 3 kids. Our house is a disaster and I didn't get one thing checked off my "to do" list - but at least I know that one child in our house is organized and "on top" of things! Way to go Andray - wish I was as organized as you!  I'm learning real quickly to just "let things go" and I'm also realizing that with having to return to work in the next few weeks that I just don't care how messy the house is - I'm just going to enjoy my 3 children and hold them. 20 years from now when they are all grown and moved out I can sit in a clean house - until then, let the craziness continue!
