Well, I have to say that I have not felt like Mom of the Year this summer. It has been too hot to go out and do anything with a brand new baby and I feel like Avery has been cheated. She is used to being a pool rat all summer with Momma hanging out with her friends at the pool and this year that all came to a halt. Everyone keeps telling me she will not remember this but I carry guilt forever. I've got to stop being so hard on myself. I will be honest with you, adjusting to having two children is a challenge (I would not have it any other way) and it does take time to learn how to manage your schedule. I think the hardest thing for me has been feeling like I can't give both Avery and Ansley 100% of me all the time. Not sure if that is even doable. I feel like we have been a prisoner of our own home due to the heat, the move, and packing. Poor baby girl has had her toys packed and her life flipped upside down. I am definitely ready to slow down, settle into our new home, find a new church, have some play dates, and get back to what we consider normal. Before we can do that we have to move this Wednesday and then we leave for our vacation to Colorado the following weekend. I know. Bad timing right. Who would have thought the two things would have fallen so close together. Then we have Avery's open house for her new school the Monday we get back and then she starts school that Tuesday. I pray she does well and does not ask about her previous school; which we both are going to miss terribly. Our family is excited about our new adventure to Fort Worth, but we will miss life here in McKinney. Summer 2013 has blessed us with a beautiful little girl but brought many health issues for my Dad. He has been in the hospital three times this summer and is currently being treated for two pulmonary embolisms and a blood clot in his leg. All we can say is that the good Lord has watched over him and given him a purpose to overcome the problems. He is very lucky to be here today with the blood clots and going into a heart attack right before bypass surgery. I praise Him for wrapping His arms around my Dad and protecting him. Like I said before, normalcy would be nice right about now. An uneventful Fall would be nice!
Twinkies. Ready for a swim party!
My big girl who will always be my baby!
Happy girl!
Just hanging out staying cool!
