Ava

Ava, three years ago today I was blessed with the gift of you. Each day Your infectious spirit makes me love you even more. I can be in the worst mood, and then see your sweet smile and immediately I am happy. You are my little bird and I pray that God blesses your little life.I found this poem by E.E. Cummings that says exactly what my heart feels for you. Happy birtday little bird. I love you
Love forever, mommy!
I carry your heart



I carry your heart with me.
I carry it in my heart
I am never without it
anywhere I go you go,my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling
I fear no fate
for you are my fate,my sweet.
I want no world,for beautiful you are my world,my true
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

I carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)

Listen to Life

2010

Okay I am back. Well for a minute anyways. Life has been crazy for the last year, but in an excitng way. I am half way through practical nursing school. Isabelle is almost done with Kindergarten. Ava will be three next week, and Matt is living the dream as a firefighter. School is exhausting, but I love it. I have the most amazing teachers, and have made some great friends. I am in love with O.B. but Matt reminds me that I have loved every rotation I have been on so far. I graduate August 24, 2010, and I can't wait! Isabelle loves school. They learn so much more than I did. She reads a book everyday, tells me about astronomy, and all sorts of neat stuff. Her teacher Mrs. Tumblin is a dream, and we have just had the best experience. We had a bit of a health scare a few weekes ago, when we were told that Isabelle had pulmonary stenosis, and that her murmur sounded bad. God, however is amazing, and after a trip to the cardiologist we were told that her heart is in great shape. We will have to go back in five years if the murmur is still loud, so that we can begin preventative measures. He did suggest we start her in sports, so that her heart learned to be stressed. Which brings me to the next big news. Izzy is playing softball. I know this is scary to anyone related to me, since we all know that my athletic skills are somewhat lacking, but let's not forget that she is also part Matt, who is very athletic. I am also proud to report that she is a natural and one of the only girs who didn't twirl around in the field, or throw dirt. Her games are Tuesday and Saturday, and I hope to see some cheerleaders in the stands. I already told her that she has a really good cheerleader in heaven watching, and that he was probably thrilled that she didn't face the backstop when she got up to bat like her mommy did. I know this is short, but I barely have time to sleep. I will try and post again soon, I love you all, and hope God blesses you.
