Making Memories

I don't know why it has become so important to me to document everything. Things happen and I am so afraid I will forget them. I have hours of video footage of the boys and very little of Jordis. It bothers me. Now I was getting in gear and videoing her regularly and my camcorder no longer works!! It's aweful. I also have not started her baby book. The boys told me the other day that I have to get on it. They are right. So that's my new project. I will get her book done. Then I have to work on getting the other photos scrapped. It will be a long project but really has to be done. I am also writing their life story for them. So many little projects but I am sure one day they will be happy to have it. I know they will. The boys already love looking at their baby books.

Every day a new memory or two are made. These days are flying by. Memories are precious. One day I will wake up and they will be grown, gone. All I will have left will be the memories of them. Eric and I will spend the rest of our lives enjoying each other and remembering our babies. It's sad but it's not sad. It will be great to be a "couple" with him again. But I will miss these days I know. I have to focus on savoring every moment right now.

I am so blessed to have the kids and all the great times with them.

getting started

This is my first entry to my blog. I am new at this so it may take some practice runs! It is early in the morning, Jordis is playing and the boys are sleeping. Eric is at work. We are having a fun summer. The boys are sleeping late everyday and I am cleaning, doing laundry and trying to keep food in the house which is impossible with them here everyday. This is the beauty of having pre adolescent boys I guess! They eat like there is no tomorrow!

Eric and I had a great trip to Jamaica. We are looking forward to a trip to the beach with the kids. Jordis has never been to the beach that she can remember so it will be fun to see how she reacts. She is amazing. Everyday she has a new little something cute that makes me smile. I am so lucky to be able to do this again. I never thought I wanted another child. I never thought I would get the opportunity to have a daughter. Life throws surprises at you all the time and boy do some of them turn into the greatest joy you could have imagined!!! I enjoyed watching the boys go through this toddler stage so much and was so sad when they were done with it. I really grieved for my "babies" when they started school. With each milestone Trevor had I was so sad because I thought he was my last baby. I am not sad about Jordis growing up. I am just savoring every moment because now I know how fast childhood goes. Now I am enjoying Spencer and Trevor as big kids. They are so funny. Learning about grown up life a little every day. I want them to keep their innocence as long as they can but at this point they are learning about the realities of life whether I want them to or not.

I am going to close this for now. I will figure out everything I can do and make this an awesome blog with categories, pictures and everything! draft 6:39:00 AM by Tonya Delete
