Remembering Dad

Today marks the 3 year anniversary of my dad's passing. I can't believe how fast the time has gone. My memories of him are still so vivid. I can still see his smile and the love he had for us girls - especially Taylor. He not only taught me how to be a good person but also led by example. Not a day goes by that I don't think about or miss him. I love you daddy!

Where have I been?!

Well, I have been just a little bit busy the last 6 months. I had knee surgery in February and then went through almost 3 months of physical therapy. I also volunteered in the boys' kindergarten class at least once a week. Each time I would come home exhausted but also grateful at how well-behaved our boys are compared to the kids in their class. Taylor breezed through 1st grade and her only complaint was that it was too easy for her. Wow, must be nice to be that smart! I also read the book "I Was A Really Good Mom Before I Had Kids." This book is awesome and I think every mother should read it. It has helped me realize that can't and shouldn't try to do everything to be a super-mom. It's just not worth it. So this blog is one of the things that I have let slide in order to spend more time with my kiddos.
