i love them

I love these 3 people with all of my heart.  So Thankful!!

Christmas 2012

What a wonderful time we had.  It was our first of many without Pops.  If only he passed away from natural causes maybe I could be at peace with it.  Everyday I beg my brain to think other wise. 
We did have a wonderful Christmas.  Our precious cousin Brad is doing well and had a clear PET scan.  There is beautiful in this world. 

We only give 3 presents to our Children for Christmas in our home-  Just like Jesus was given 3 gifts- its what we do. it works.  I was so scared this year that for MC it may be disappointing. I was overjoyed to see her excitement for 3 wonderful gifts and a stocking full of goodies.  I am honored to be the mommy of these little girls.  I never did any thing my whole life to deserve such happiness.  I know with losing Pops the way we did and all the darkness in this world( I choose not to talk about the current events that happened in CT)  I know that life can change in a heart beat.  I hold on very very tight to my family and friends.

Mary Claire's Christmas Concert and SANTA ;)

Mary Claire had her school Christmas program last night.  It was so cute and funny.  Our new music teacher is very creative.  We are having a wonderful 2nd Grade year.
  I have fallen short on blogging the past few months.  We are very busy with these two little girls and  are so thankful for our health and friends and family. 

This will be our first Christmas without Pops.  Holding on tight to Cookie and all of our loved ones.  Time on Earth is but a blink in God's eyes.  One day Heaven will be a place of no more goodbyes. 

Mary and Whitney- Mommy and Daddy Love you both So much!!!  So proud of you both and we love watching you grow and learn everyday. 

Wishing time could just stop right here for a little while :)  love Mommy
