There is now a dedicated site for Greyson Morris. Nicole's brother in California has set it up. He did a wonderful job. There is even a resources page that is great. There is also a slideshow that is amazing. Please take a minute and check it out. Please, please, please pass on the website. Awareness is the only way we are going to have a chance at improving newborn screening standards.

A Much Needed Retreat.....

I have a confession to make......  The past two days, I have been out of town.  Yes, I was not home when Brayden had his first sleep over and that killed me.  I think that is why I was so nervous...... But......  I have spent the entire day scrapping.  It always is great to get a little girl time......  But, as I scrap pictures of my precious children and wonderful husband....  I miss them terribly.  

I have a dear sweet friend who started a tradition last year.....  the Sunday after Christmas we meet in Fredericksburg and stay two nights in a wonderful hotel and scrap.  We laugh, talk, and catch up.  We spend the entire time scrapping.  I absolutely love it!  I love preserving memories and celebrating our family.  I love the thought of being able to give them their book of memories when the time is right......  I treasure the time when Brayden and I go through his books and talk about the past.  I look forward to doing the same with Bailee.

Daddy is home with the kids and holding down the fort.  He is doing it all.  There are not many men out there that would be so supportive.  He supports me, and knows how important it is for me to have my girl time.  I know he is equally supportive of me coming home ASAP tomorrow. 

With that said.....  I always look forward to returning home after being gone.  My heart skips a beat as I think of walking into the house and seeing the three most important people in my life. I look forward to their hugs and kisses and welcoming me home.

While I scrap, I reminisce on the precious memories the photos represent.  I see my family.  I see my heart in Justin and our two precious children.  My heart smiles.  Yes, I am truly blessed. I am truly thankful.  I could not want for more.  God IS so good!

My little man is growing up!

Tonight, Brayden is at his first sleep over.  It is after midnight.  It looks like he is going to make it for the night.  I just knew that he would call home, wanting us to pick him up.  I was positive the call would come. Well..... guess he is a little braver than I imagined.  

He is staying the night with his classmate Riley. Thank goodness I know Riley's parents very well. Otherwise, I would be a nervous wreck.  

Being that he made it all night at a friend's house tells me.....  he is a very secure and brave little man.  It also reminds me of how very fast he is growing up.  Where does the time go?  Oh how I would love to keep him little......... 

Who Knew? Update Version..... Please pass it on.
