Today is father's day. Last year Brad missed father's day by one day. This year I have to brag on him he is a wonderful father. he takes care of Laurana ever day this summer while
I am at summer school, and he doesn't call it babysitting. He loves to give her a bath, and carry her around on his shoulders. He reads her books and laughs with her, and wrestles on the floor with her. When I was looking for a husband a man to be a father to my children Brad is what I wanted.

I look back and realize that I too had a wonderful father. Fathers are so important to little girls. Little girls with daddy's who lvoe and care for them jsut have extra hope. my dad loved to take us places and introduce us to new things. it was hard finding pictures of him because he spent so much time documenting our lives for us, that you know he is the one behind hte camera. I remember him taking me out to special father daughter dinners, buying me a very special easter dress. I remmeber calling him on Valentines day to remind him and how ever year, even after I went to college, there was always a small little valentine or flower for me to remind me that I was loved by a very special man. he was always supportive and just a little on the crazy funny side. he was the cooker of bacon and egg sandwiches, the guy who got pizza for his night of cooking, and hte music man at church. Now I get to laugh as he is a wonderful opa to Laurana. making her laugh every time he comes on the computer. She even looks at hte computer and says opa opa when she wants to talk to him.


I want to thank the father's in my life, Daddy, Brad, Grandpa, and papa. all of whom have loved me, and love Laurana. Thank you for showing me what a father's love is like so taht I can look to the heavely father with confidence knowing htat if he is anything like these men he is worth placing my trust in.

Annevsary's and baby firsts

Image
Okay, let see, our 4th annavsary was this week. We have been married four years. It feels a little longer. I guess we have just packed alot into it and that makes it seem longer. I am really very happy/glad, that I married brad. He has been supportive when I have been flipping out. He takes care of me, and needs me, he is calmed by me when he is flipping out, he has created the cutest little bear with me, we have shared laughs, football games, Musicals, movies, TV shows, books, basketball games, tears, hardship, lack of funs... in short, the better and the worse, the richer and the poorer, the sickness and the health, alaughter and the sorrow, I married a very specail man and I am truly blessed because of it. I can't thank God enough that He saved bard for me. As for First, this week the baby slept all night for the first time. We fed her at 9:00 pm, put her down and she doesn't get up til around 7:30. (of course if we get up early and start moving around she wakes up too) but ...

Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Sanity

Okay so this week has been a little wild. Between getting ready for testing at school. Trying to keep students who are ready for summer focused. PMSing, Brad having his huge action research proposal due yesterday and many other little things, I have felt just the slightest bit overwhelmed. I will say that Sanjya finally got voted off American Idol. He couldn't sing, coldn't dance and there and there was really no reason he made it this far above and beyond that people wanted to see what crazy thing he would do each week. Well finally they got it through their heads that he coudln't sing and sent him packing, me and Simon Cowl were thrilled. Please continue to pray for brad, his feet and shins are still bothering him. wE think it is shin splints but we are not sure. He is giving them the 2-4 week rest period that shin splints need and if they don't get better he will go to the dr. as I mentioned above, testing starts next week, here in teh state of Kentucky, and th...
