The Extra Stocking

Today was crazy around here like most days. School...house work ...the usual. But today lil Hynlee was just having a rough day. She hasn't had any accidents in weeks until today. She had three total and still not sure why. But it could have a lot to do with her disappearing meme's aka pacifier. Every time we turned around today she had lost one. She would take it out for a drink and poof it was gone. Or after lunch another one just vanished. I couldn't figure out where in the world they were going. And if you know Hynlee at all you know she is HOOKED on her meme. It wasn't until after lunch when I was picking up the living room when I noticed an extra stocking under the tree. The girls had a Christmas party this past weekend and had received small stockings as gifts. But what shocked me was it was crammed full of paci's and hot wheels. You see Callee wanted to give Hynlee something special. Something she new she would love and something just from her. So she knew there is nothing she loves more than her meme and Callee's very own favorite hot wheel. I had tears when I found it. My baby girl could teach us all a lesson. It's not about how big the gift or much it cost. It's about the thought, it's about giving from your heart.

I explained to Callee that we had to give them back before we all went crazy but I promise we will find the most perfect gift for both her sisters just from her!! And that was all good until bedtime when I couldn't find another one. But this time I knew just where to look. Sure enough in that little red stocking was one hot wheel and two meme's!

So this Christmas morning if I wake to find nothing under the tree for me, I will be just fine. For I have the greatest gift of all....the gift of being a mother!

Worst blogger ever!

Ok so I admit it! I am the worst blogger ever! It's been months since my last post an their is NO excuse for that! Things have been going full force around here. I debated on starting a entirely new blog since we are so far behind! But I don't want to loose everything. So here is a short recap of the last few months. Derick went back to Trainor. Yes he hates it and wishes he was some where else. Hopefully that will change very shortly! Please pray he gets the job he has always wanted! He also turned thirty! Yep the big....NO HUGE 30!! We took him camping. We loved it. This was our first camping trip ever. I had no idea what to expect but it turned out really well! Next the girls are doing so good in school! They are both improving so much. And I couldn't be happier! For Halloween y'all had a ball! Hynlee you were the cutiest skunk ever. Grace you were a beautiful butterfly and Callee bug you were a crazy lil monkey for the second year! Hynlee is now fully potted trained! She nursed until 19 months and potty trained herself at 21 months old. Your such a big girl now. Callee girl lost her first tooth yesterday! She so cute! And Gracie just turned 7 two weeks ago. You lost a another tooth on your birthday and one more today! So now you can really say all you want for Christmas is your two front teeth:)
I know this is scattered and short but I promise you girls mommy is going to get better at writing this down for you.
