Little Bit is a Teenager!

I am quite possibly in shock that on this day at 12:20 pm thirteen years ago we were blessed with a tiny baby girl.  She was so much smaller than her brothers, quite possibly the size of a large Kleenex box when she was all swaddled.  The spitting image of her Daddy and her oldest brother she entered this world with a bang. So tiny, yet so mighty and truly a sweet baby.

Soaking Up The Summer ...

We are home from Palm Beach and I am taking a few days  off to completely soak up some time with my kids. Regular season of swim team ends this week so I am about to have a lot more time with these people I adore. Time flies by and I don't take for granted that I only have a small window to truly make an impression on them and summer is a huge part of that.

Happy Memorial Day

It is very easy to get sucked into the family time and barbeques and the beginning of summer and forget all about why we get an extra day off this week and it would be completely wrong to do so.  So many people have served and continue to serve to ensure our freedom.  We sit by the pool relaxing thanks to many who have given their lives and served for our freedom.  Freedom isn't free and we all must remember why we celebrate. I am eternally grateful to a father who served in the Navy, a grandfather who served in the Korean war and a father in law who served in World War II.  Their example of service has made a huge imprint on my life.
