Another day...
Today I'm watching Taylor again, and he's feeling better which is a relief. Today browsing through Netflix trying to find something for him to watch I kept seeing things that reminded me of when Abbe and Luke were little, and then of Maurissa and Me being little. Abbe LOVED Elmo, Blues Clues, Veggietales, Max and Ruby and Cyberchase. Luke loved Bob the Builder, Thomas the Tank Engine and his Creepy Creatures. Maurissa and I watched pretty much every Disney movie religiously, The Land Before Time, Barney, Kidsongs, Lamb Chop, Mr. Rodgers, Sesame Street (back when it was still AWESOME!) Anyways that just got me thinking about the things I want Corry and My kids to see someday...I want them to watch learning about letters and learning about numbers, I want them to see Thomas and Mr. Rodgers and all the kids shows we used to watch that weren't all lights and colors and no imagination. I even think what Abbe and Luke watched as kids was better than the popular kids shows today...at least they taught them about good things. Anyways, another thing I was thinking of is Sleep Sound in Jesus. Before I really knew how to pray I was listening to that before bed and it was very comforting. Needless to say I'm feeling really nostalgic today...If only for one day I could go back in time and spend a day pretending with Missy, or cuddling with Abbe and Luke. I feel really lucky that I had such a good childhood and that I have such great memories of it. I miss those days, but it makes me feel happy that I can someday try to be as good of a mom as my Mom, and that my babies will have a good daddy like Corry, awesome grandparents like Karen and Wayne and my Mom, aunts and uncles like Abbe and Luke and Maurissa, and even the BEST Great-Grandparents in the world! Mamma and Grandpa Jim. I'm so blessed to have such a wonderful family.

Oh arent trips down Memory Lane just the best? I do that from time to time and when I am walking down that lane it seems like it was just yesterday that it was happening. And then a phone rings, or something happens to bring you back to today and there is that sad feeling in the pit of your stomach that you wont be able to relive them anymore. BUT,, there is always the future. I am excited that Luke and Abbe will be living close to me. I didnt get the chance to spend the time with them as I did with you and Missy. I want that. I want sleep overs with them and I want to take them out to a fancy restaurant and out for malts and out for banana splits for lunch. I quess it is a little past for them to have "sips" of my root beer and for them to put make up on me and do my hair!! But there will be thier school things that I can go to that I missed so much of with you and Missy. So I will be happy for what the future brings, and thankful for the past. I LOVE YOU EMMA. I pray for you every day
