Aryn the 2 Year Old

As Aryn turned 2 this month, we have had a glimpse of what a year of 2 could bring us. And boy are we planning on holding on to our hats. This little girl will have you wrapped around her finger in no time, then leading you to a book to read or game to play on the floor. She always has a smile and is a frequent giver of hugs and kisses. She will also remind you of what is important.

My favorite reminder came just the other week while I, shockingly, tried to do multiple things at once thinking the girls would be content playing... Well, Aryn wanted my attention and as I continued to attempt to get other things done she became more and more frustrated with me. Now as a 2 year old, this frustration is displayed in whines, cries and requests to be held. After my frustration grew I finally looked at her and said, "Aryn, what do you want?!" She looked at me, stomped her foot and yelled back "Momma!" Yep, that one attacked the heart and to the couch we both went for some story reading and snuggle time. This little one frequently reminds us to take the time with our girls, the dishes and dirt will be there for years to come.

Today.... The next chapter

And here we are... October of 2020. I'm not sure where the time has gone, while struggling between feeling it has gone too fast and yet being ready for things to move along and leave a few chapters in the past. To say that 2020 has tested our strength is a bit understated. But, even on our worst days and weeks - we have come out smiling. Don't get me wrong, those smiles aren't always easy and sometimes they mask the exhaustion, the grief and the tears. But boy when they are truly out of happy moments and seeing how we survive from these difficult times, those smiles are worth millions. Today... was a day that hit me hard... unexpectedly hard. Today, being everything I need to be right now is hard... it's exhausting... it's daunting... it's what this chapter is. Today... oh boy today has been a hot mess... It was a recognition of how much I'm grieving and still so thankful for this life we have. I'm so thankful to have an amazing friend, Erica...

And here we are in 2019!

I've gotten away from regularly writing, and with the start of 2019 I decided now is the time to revisit writing! It's a great way to look at events happening in our lives and remind ourselves of the blessings we have no matter how busy or complicated life gets! Part of 2019 includes returning to school work for me. As I look at my future goals for my career, I decided the time is now to look at getting my degree in Organizational Leadership. I applied for admission to Metropolitan State University ( www.metrostate.edu ) and started courses in January! 1 week in and I'm already wondering why I thought this was a great idea. This first semester back at it will most likely be the most difficult as I'm taking on 3 courses - if I survive this, I'll be able to make this happen! What this means is fitting in course work during lunch breaks and after the girls head to bed, and of course hours on the weekends. If I look a little tired, this may explain the bags under m...

Saying Goodbye

Saying goodbye is never easy, in fact it's one of the most difficult things to do. Our strength is being tested today as we make the decision for Botti that means we have to put his needs before ours. I will never forget the day we drove to get Botti. It was a complete surprise to Emma, a Minnesota spring day, March 2006. She was grumpy about having to go to the Twin Cities with us, thinking it was about getting stuff for the store. But then we pulled up to Petco in Eden Prairie, again she thought we were just picking up things for the cats and Rosie. Then we got inside and met up with the animal shelter there for pet adoption day and asked to see the collie puppies we had inquired about. That's when we met Botti and a few of his litter mates. His eyes captured our hearts. Emma's smile was priceless when we asked if we should bring him home. Botti hasn't had an easy road health-wise, but he made it clear that he would always watch over...
