Getting Started

It's been one of those weeks that I'm counting my blessings and reaching out to those who I care about because of circumstances others near me have had. When I received a friend's blog, I thought what better way to keep in touch with others. So here is my attempt to start blogging.

For some I see daily, monthly, yearly... for others I might have only said hello via email in recent years... and others I might not be in touch with much at all- but know you are all important in my life.

To catch those up who I have not talked with in a while... I'm back at work full time, although I'm not in the office on Mondays which is nice. Madelyn is enjoying preschool 3 days a week. It is hard to believe she is already 3. She is doing pretty good at this big sister stuff and it is so cute to see her interact with her lil sis Mia, who is almost 5 months. Time certainly flies. Brandon started his last class tonight to complete his bachelor's classes next month. Now he is looking at MBA programs.

Recent adventures include a last minute mother/daughter weekend when Madelyn and I flew down to Florida to visit "Mickey." We had a great time with just the 2 of us visiting the parks and hanging out together. Daddy and Mia survived at home just fine !

The Power of Prayer

• A co-worker of mine delivered a beautiful lil girl on Friday AM and her older daughter ended up in ICU that same evening. What a tough time emotionally for this family. The daughter in ICU is medically fragile, but has never been this sick, there have been moments she is touch and go.
• Another friend ended up with her son rushed to the ED with febrile seizures last evening. He is doing ok, but a scary situation for them as well.
• For working moms everywhere trying to balance their jobs of mother, worker, wife, house cleaner, cook, etc. that we have strength to be successful at each role.

Have a great weekend !
