It's been a while

But today seemed like the perfect day to blog...
Today my baby girl came home from a LONG (for me, not her) day at Girl Scout Camp. She came home all excited about the "witches hat", "witches broom" and secret other trick she had learned, all with a piece of yarn. For the first time, in which I could remember, she was teaching me something...I didn't know how to do any of these neat tricks and I was sorta sad, it really hit me, Kiley's growing up.....I guess this is hard for me because she was my first born, and a lot of my mistakes, I made with her. She is a reflection of the mother I am and so often I doubt myself with her. Kiley and I are so much alike, we often butt heads. I have been praying a lot about this and I could feel God's presence as he showed me what I needed to see. I saw how innocent this sweet, loving, girl is. I saw how she loved showing me something and how she loved all the questions I had for her. And then I though, I only get a few moments in time to protect her, to guide her, to fully influence her and soon she will be gone, she will always be my child but she will not always be a child. I will savor every moment I have with this girl, before I know it she will gone. I pray that I will mold her into a wonderful, loving adult, that turns to God in all the tough times and then again turns to God in all the good times, to praise him. Kiley, you are one amazing girl and such a wonderful gift from God. I love you more than you will ever know!
An dnow that I got that off my heart.....
I will start from the beginning in the middle, we have been, oh, so, busy!!! We have had VBS, swim team, cheer, Girl Scout Camp, since the girls have been out of school. Next week we will only have swim and cheer, which will be WONDERFUL!!!

The kids and I have been sick off and on, since the last week of school. I think what happens is I take one of the kids to the doctor's office and while we are there we pick up some other crazy, yucky, germ and in a few days one of my other children are sick or me for that matter. We are finally feeling better this week and I am very grateful.

Other news, Emma Grace got into Queen's Grant Charter School, I am so excited and so is she! What a wonderful blessing. Kiley will stay at Sun Valley and will be put on the sibling list and it's almost guaranteed that Lathan will get a spot.

That's about it for now, I know I have tons I could blog about but this is all I have time for tonight. I will be back....not promising much, Lathan's B-day is in a few weeks, so I will be back for that, at least I hope!
