Crazy, Busy Times
Let me tell ya...when you leave the country for 10 days and then spend the following week moving, many things get neglected. Updating this blog is one of those things.
We had a FABULOUS vacation. Marc had such a successful sales year in 2009 that Baxter rewarded him with a Mediterranean cruise. Lucky for me, he let me go along with him!
We started the trip in Venice, Italy. I have so many pictures to sort and edit. This is what I've accomplished so far.

I've enjoyed some creative computer time this week while the kids were completing their last days of school.

This Girl Made Me A Momma.
This girl makes me so proud to be a momma. But being a mom isn't always easy.
We have butted heads with each other since she was 3. She's 9 1/2 now. Yep, we've had many, many difficult days. We are so much alike. Stubborn. Hard headed. Determined.
I've prayed a lot about this situation. Why must our relationship be so stinking difficult? It would be so nice if we actually loved being with each other. It makes be sad to feel like all our time is spent being angry with each other. One day down the road, how will she describe our relationship during her growing-up-years? Oh my. I want her to have happy memories, and not those of a mom who was always on her case.
Lately, things are on the upswing. We are happy. I am relaxed. Her behavior is shaping up.
Today, I took this picture of Chloe. I knew she looked pretty, but it wasn't until I actually saw the picture on my computer screen that I realized - "Whoa! This is a glimpse into our future!". She looks so grown-up here. I want our next 9 years together to be so special. Ones that we will both treasure.
So, Clo...thanks for making me a momma first. Here's to the next 9 years. Let's make them the best ones ever! I love you more than you know!
