So what does Sasha do at 3:00 in the morning when she can’t sleep? She blogs! We had such a fun week at our house. McCabe celebrated his 3rd birthday. We had Doug’s family, the Mumfords, and the missionaries over for some taco salad and chocolate cake. The kids ran wild while the adults visited. Mac got a lot of airplanes and a helicopter for his birthday. He also received a container of fruity candy mints….which he loves. The whole night he was offering to share the mints. I think he asked Chad Mumford about 4 different times if he wanted a mint. When refused, McCabe would pop the mint in his mouth. He polished off that container in 2 days.
Jacinda is really excited for Valentine’s day. In fact, she is off to a start of making valentine letters. The other day she gave me a heart attack by making paper hearts and putting them up on the slider. Each heart says, “I love you…Sasah….mom.”
I was so touched by the thoughtfulness that I have not told her that she misspelled my name. I will just enjoy the evidence of her youth while I can.
Jacinda is also trying to be a big help. Just the other night she wanted to help put Xadia to sleep….so she climbed in the crib to hold Xadia while she drifted off to slumber land. The only problem is that Jacinda followed and fell asleep in the crib also. I had to sneak a picture of this adorable moment.
Xadia is changing every day. Here is a cute picture of her. I love her big eyes. They remind me of Tim.
Went to the Oncologist this past week and for the first time since completing treatments I finally feel like I can live again without constantly worrying about having cancer. A great burden was lifted off my shoulders as the doctor checked my lymph nodes and reviewed the x-rays with me. He also did a fantastic job answering my questions. I gave a lot of prayers of thanks for the good news and for allowing me to live. There are just too many things during my days I enjoy…..I am not ready to die or experience chemo again.
I saw a really neat quote I would like to share. “You know you are in love when you can’t sleep because reality is much better than your dreams.” Dr. Seuss. Wow! How true is that! I am sure we all can relate to that saying to some degree.
My baby Xadia is getting so big. She is now 4 months and rolling over.
Every moment we get to enjoy the sunshine we are out walking. On this particular day Jacinda got bored on our walk because we walk up and down the same street for about an hour. It is a safe street with very little traffic. While sitting in the car (because we drive to this street) she found some chalk. She got out and drew some pictures. She then started playing hop scotch....what a cutie!
I love my life because there is never a dull moment. My kids are constantly surprising me with the silly things they do.
