Life is precious

It seems we take life for granted all too often. One of my best friend's life was touched by tragedy this week. With the death of her little niece my heart aches for her and her brother who lost his daughter. I have to admit I was feeling a little sorry for myself that morning as I mowed the lawn and thought of some of life's circumstances that were hard...then I walked in the house and read her blog only to find that my problems were small and inconsequential. We have so much to be thankful for. I feel like because of the circumstances surrounding our son I have an increased awareness of how blessed we are to have these beautiful children. However life gets busy and I still need to be reminded. I hope to absorb every moment I can with Corbett because life is so precious. I love you, Tori. We are praying for your family.


It seems I took a lot of pictures since I last posted. I guess I'll let them tell the story of our life lately! First, Cody and Corbett playing in the backyard. Last weekend we went to Frederico's and then to First Dam to feed the ducks with our good friends Shauna and Brian and their kids. Here's some pictures of the event! This first picture is of Corbett and Ashlyn, she takes good care of Corbett and he loves her to death!Corbett, Ashlyn, Marshall, and Bayler T.J. came over for a morning...T.J. loves kids and pays a lot of attention to Corbett. T.J. is 10 years old but he's not much bigger than Corbett. Of course, Corbett is a head taller than the kids his age and T.J. is a head shorter than his age group!I painted our door red while Cody was away. It took two different colors of red before I liked it, SURPRISE (Cody loves these little surprises)!And lastly, we had a BIG sleepover this weekend. One of my sisters had to leave town and so I had the brilliant idea to let the other local niece and nephews join the party. Here's Natalie and Kelsey, I believe it's nearly noon that they were able to DRAG themselves out of bed. Nice shades Kelsey!
