Life doesn't stop and wait for you to catch up....

So things have been so strange around here to say the least....and now Landon is starting Kindergarten next week. I have been dreading this for quite some time....he on the other hand is very excited. He is my baby (not really) but this is a big step...big boy school. I am not sure I am ready.

One thing I do know...life doesn't stop and wait for you to catch up...wouldn't it be nice? These past few weeks I have wanted to curl up with a blanket and just sleep....however, we have 2 perfectly healthy beautiful children that are ready to have their "normal lives" back. They get up ready to eat breakfast...play outside...and do all the normal fun things kids enjoy....I want to say stop let me breath....then I go back to my old way of thinking...enjoy things now. There is no use for a list...there are no guarantees in life. Enjoy every day...there is time to rest latter.

Thankfully I have been able to enjoy time with the kids and am rebuilding my strength. I have been a week with seeing the doctor or visiting the hospital. As Dave says, we are starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

As we prepare for the next couple of weeks...Landon starting school...Kendall being in the big girl class at her school, starting dance class...Dave starting back to school and hours of coaching....I will be starting back to work soon...we realize that life takes us in different directions during the days but at night we come back to home and embrace the love we have for one another. There is not a day that goes by that we do not talk or remember Harper....but life moves forward and so we must too.

How is it that every day happenings can seem like such a big event. Kids start school everyday somewhere around the world...but this is the beginning of our little guys journey...what fun he will have.

The picture above....Dave and the kids brought me these tulips on my first night home from the hospital. Tulips are my favorite flower...I love how delicate and beautiful they are....there is one for Daddy, Mommy, Landon, Kendall, and Harper. The vase holds them together even though they bloom and grow into different directions. Beautiful.
