Thoughts & Musings

This past week I have packed my son for a week at camp, finished my second thesis and watched my city government argue publicly with my school board. I have witnessed my 5 week old discover focusing on things with her eyes, purchased more summer reading books in my children's constant quest to read more of their literary world and marveled at how all 3 of my children are growing and changing.
I can't help but wonder if I found the world as exciting as they do. Seeing the world through the eyes if my children truly makes me appreciate all off the things that I have in my own little piece of it.
It's hard not to be amazed at all the wonderful things that are our world.

Best quote I've seen in a while... "Instructions for life. Pay attention. Be astonished. Tell about it." Mary Oliver

SES Championships

Of course we are all super excited to be heading to knoxville this weekend for Annie to swim in the Southeastern Championship Swim Meet!!!

She made her cuts this weekend in 2 events; 50 & 100 breaststroke. I think it was her little sister Lissa, that really motivated her.

Go Tigers!

Wow...

Today is Lissa's 23 day of life and though I am more exhausted than I was before she got here I am so happy to have her!

She has gone swimming a few times, gone shopping, a couple swim meets and been introduced to TONS of family.

It has been such a blessing welcoming baby #3 into our family.

I just had a baby!!!!

Baby Melissa Jane was born VERY early in the morning at 1257am on saturday June 18. She weighed 6 pounds 8 ounces and was 19 inches long. Of course, we are all madly in love with her.

Lots of pictures to come later!
