Happy Thoughts
It's 10 pm on July 4. Sam is upstairs sacked out. Carl took my folks to see the fireworks, and Mom is enjoying some much needed peace and quiet. Did I read a good book? Watch a movie? Call an old friend? Put on some music and boogie? No, I cleaned out a kitchen cabinet and updated the blog. Sigh. I used to be so much fun.
I hear that you do, slowly, get your life back. Or, maybe you just forget what it looked like and you cease to mind so much.
Not that we don't have any fun. Carl's mom sent a few great pictures from last weekend's visit to her house up in Palmer, TX. Helen and Larry built this thing nail-by-nail -- they planned every detail from scratch, and it is beautiful. Especially the salt-water pool, where Samantha spent a good bit of her waking time.
She was nervous at first, but as you can see she got over that!

You never get your old life back--SORRY! Sometimes the new one is better, sometimes not, but it's always different. When the boys were young Gil would occasionally take them to visit his parents and leave me to some delightful solitude. I always spent the time cleaning out closets & cabinets, scrubbing floors, painting walls, or something equally ridiculous. But, it was cathartic and brought a much needed sense of order to a chaotic life.
We spent the weekend at the lake with Chris, Sara and the girls--it was hectic and noisy. Today I'm reveling in the quiet. We head to TX Thursday.
Glad there was no immediate crisis with Sam--hope all the news from the various specialists is good. we pray for her (and you) daily. She just looks so perfect and healthy! Rachael just turned 2 and is still such a tiny little thing--not even 25 lbs yet. And she still says almost nothing understandable, but the facial expressions and jibber-jabbering are priceless and she understands everything. By this age Sydney was talking in long involved sentences. They're all different.
Love, Ann
Sydney thinks Sam is "SO ADORABLE"!!
