How has two years flown by so fast? It was just yesterday that the nurse said, "It's a Maggie." Now here we are with a two year old and another little one. How I love being a mom, it really is the best thing I have ever done, the hardest, the most challenging, but hands down the best. There is nothing sweeter than a little hand, a sweet giggle, or "here momma." I love my babies. Michelle made sure that Maggie had party hats, candles, and the little party squealers, she is an awesome sister. Lori ordered cupcakes and everyone was there to sing her happy birthday (minus Mom and Dad who are in Hawaii, and Julie, BUT they all called to sing to her) I have the best family in the world. I could tell that John was pretty blue that he wasn't here. Maggie has had the crud so we canceled our plane tickets to go home on Tuesday and we are going to hang around here till Sunday. We will get to see Birdy this way and Maggie has had a ball with cousins.
Lou's little ones have had the stomach flu, a major case of the stomach flu, I'm praying that Maggie and little Garrett don't get it. Poor little things have been so sick. Little Oakley would keep saying today mom I'm good enough to eat Pizza, or mom I want a treat, she couldn't hold anything down. It will be good to have her our little Oaker Anner tomorrow feeling better.
It has been so nice to be home, I forget just how much I love it, the smells, and the sky, the corrals, the barn, the meadows, I love home. No matter how much John has my heart with him in Oklahoma this will always be home. I would love if we could come back but I realize with each time that I come how blessed I am to have a husband that is good to let me come as much as I do. I dread the day when my visits have to slow down. I really do love it here. I love having all those that I hold dear close.
The girls all went with Emily and I down to the barn today, they love going and Emily makes sure they get to go whenever they want.
Mom went with Dad, Steven, and Leslie to Denver this year. She was a heaven send. I really don't know how I would have ever managed without her and Maggie is in LOVE with her. She should be, Mom doted on her like a mother hen, she let her play in all the shavings one night after they had taken the display bulls down, Maggie had purple shavings in ever crack and crevice in her whole body, literally:)
Garrett had the crud a little when we got home from Denver but he is doing perfect now. He has to go in for an Catscan on his little kidney when we get home, I'm pretty nervous about it. He is so little and perfect, the thoughts of my little baby having to be sedated petrifies me. He is such a little sweetheart, he coos and talks to you and is just like a little puppy searching for his dinner, and then milk drunk happy all day long. I never dreamed that my babies would have my heart like they do. Poor Garrett doesn't know that he has a long road to tow with Maggie lol:) She loves him and is pretty protective of him.
Well bed is calling it comes much to early:)
