You are ours.

if you were here now, we would feel you kicking. 

we would hope and pray and smile

for you.

we miss you already, sweet baby.

In a few months, we would hold you in our arms

kiss your little hands

and feet.

you would wrinkle your nose.

you would be an early smiler. 

these things I know.

we would act like fools

to make you smile and maybe laugh.

You would watch the world with big eyes

and wonder how it turned.

One night I had a dream 

that you were with us.

And we could see you, so small.. so strong.

That dream was true, you are ours.

but we have to trust that you are here. 

you are watching us always,

with wisdom that we ourselves have yet to learn.

I hope you know how much we love you…

how much I love you. 

HA!

You know what? food is fantastic. It's so yummy. I LOVE FOOD. so there.

poem of the day

We are Individual.

In all of us there exists 

the need not to feel alone.

We cling blindly to one another

Like twigs in a current.

We go through life like sailors

Always looking for an island,

Always fearing to lose sight of land...

Always fearing.

Misfits are shaken off and cast out,

feared as we ask ourselves,

"Am I different too?"

And we are.

It's strange, but we need not fear

to be alone.

A twig entangled

loses its identity, itself.

it should be more greatly feared 

to become faceless and blend in,

than it is to sail along the current alone

unique, standing out.

It serves us well to be unique.

It is fitting that we smile with our own faces,

laugh with our own laughs, 

and love with our own hearts.

Overview!

Well! I haven't posted in forever! These have been the busiest two months. School started, of course, and it's been two great months. I can't even begin to tell the things that have happened!

First of all, I am doing so very well with my eating, and I'm SO happy. Life has been so good lately.

Secondly, I got a kitten! I've been wanting a cat for the longest time, and my wonderful parents finally said yes!!! He's the sweetest little thing. He lives in my room, and every morning when I wake up he's on the floor waiting for me to get down from my bed so I can pet him. He's just the right mix of cuddly and playful, and I'm absolutely smitten. His name is Cisco.
We went to the pound to get a kitten on Saturday, and I never expected it would be so hard to choose! There were do many kittens, and they were all absolutely precious! But Cisco really stood out as the sweetest one with the most personality.

There he is! His birthday is on July 18th, and I'm going to have to make sure to celebrate for him :-)


hmm.... what else? Charlotte and Kateri are both doing so well!

how could anyone not love that face of hers?! She's exquisite. I'm a lucky auntie. 

and there's sweet kateri, who's growing up so big and strong! she's sitting up, and crawling around all by herself, and I love her so very much. 

It's been a good two months!!
