Happy Birthday Parker!

This past weekend we celebrated Parker's 2nd birthday. Somewhere she has picked up a great pose for the camera...as you can see below. When you say cheese, she says how hard! A real ham we have on our hands now :) The past two birthdays for Parker have been a time when I really think back to what all she has been through in her short life. I look back and think that 2 years ago tomorrow we she was being transported to Des Moines and spent the rest of the month in the hospital. I remember how hard it was to see her in her hospital bed, how I was completely helpless. I will also never forget how difficult it was not being able to care for my other children, being completely helpless. I remember how lucky we are to have each day that is given to us. Count each blessing, everyday.

Back to School

As of today, it is official that everyone has started back to school. Cameron has two weeks under her belt as a Kindergartner now and Morgan began preschool today, going three days a week. Since we are just across from the elementary school we begin our morning walking Cameron over to the school and getting her to her classroom. She has already requested that I let her go to school by herself. We still walk her over there, but maybe when there is 3 feet of snow on the ground I'll have a change of heart!
