We have had a busy holiday weekend. It may take a while to recover. I feel like I have a hangover from all the excitement and fun;) We were so lucky to have my G-parents and my brother and his cute family in Richfield. And we are always so lucky to have Rob's family here. It's nice to have family so close and they are always great about being to all of the family events! Gillyin was baptised on Saturday and it was neat to have more of my family able to be there. It was a special day for her. Saturday night she came upstairs and she crying. So, I said to her "You're tired. You need to go to bed." She said, "No mom, you know how you cry sometimes when you are happy?" and I said, "Yes, is that why you are crying?"..."Yeah, I have had the best day" she said. It was so sweet to sit there and spend a minute to reflect on her day. I then got my journal out and was thinking I might find something about the day I was baptised, but couldn't. I did find a letter I wrote to Gilly when she turned one. So I read her the letter and then we both were crying. She has grown up. I am so blessed to be her mother. I look at all my kids and wonder...why did they pick me? I guess I need to learn a lot more than I ever thought I did, because they teach me so much about life...especially about LOVE. My Gilly-girl is a keeper for sure...I am so proud of her and the young lady she is.
P.S.
