Jaelyn's First Sentence
A few days ago, Jaelyn was walking around my sister's house looking for me. Sometimes I'm sitting on curled up on the arm chair and she'd walk right past the living room without seeing me. She was calling out, "Mommy." then out of nowhere she said, "Mommy, where are you?" My sister was near her and I asked, "Did you hear her? What did she say?" and she said, "I think she said 'where are you'." And then right after that Jaelyn said, "Where Mommy?". I couldn't believe it! She hasn't said either phrase since, but it was clear as a bell and my sister wasn't the only one besides me to hear her. Well, even if she doesn't say it again for a while, that says a lot about how much she understands and what she can say in her head that hasn't come out of her mouth yet. I aleady knew she understood a lot, but it's nice to get a little confirmation!

lullaby to sleep
just like we said it would be
I would like to think that i dont miss him. But that would be a lie. I miss the feeling of being safe, the reassurance that there is someone who needs me. Someone who longs to wake up next to me. I miss being intellectually stimulated, to be challenged by a worthy opponent. I miss the snide comments and hopeless banter. I miss the sadness and the wave of nostalgia that crashes over us as we slowly come to realise how alone we are, together. Without knowing, I have written in present tense. It's all in the past now. Every comment, every heart wrenching moment, every painful yet unforgettable memory all tucked away into the past. Fragments in a black bag, lying quietly out of sight, waiting for the day I will have the courage to flip through it once again. One day I won't be afraid to rummage through the remains, to remember and to cherish the good, the bad and the unforgettable. Do I miss him? Or am I just lonely? Do I really not miss him? Or do I just wish I don't? Do I want to... (more)

Coming Along
Good Morning! Things are coming along nicely. Slow but very nicely! I'm pleased with our progress. I got fabric sorted yesterday and sadly, I don't have as much as I thought I did! LOL What a great reason to go buy MORE! One can never have too much fabric! At least that is what I keep telling hubby! I have to work today and am not looking forward to it in the least! I would so much rather be home sewing and sorting and playing all day! There isn't much news to be posted at the moment, but I will keep ya'll updated. Thanks for reading!

Phi Phi island
Hey guys! I’m in Phi Phi island and it’s absolutely fantastic! The scenery here is amazing, the weather is good and the company is great; making for a great vacation. I don’t even know if I can describe what we see here every day. The sea is a turquoise blue with sand as white as it is soft. There are islands all around us, reminding me a bit of the Cyclades, with such thick foliages that it makes one think of patches of jungle. The food here is so amazing that you just don’t want to stop eating – I’ve experienced that a couple of times, you just don’t want to leave that last piece of meat on your plate for fear that you will regret it later on in life. On every street corner there are places to get the most amazing Thai massages you could think of while looking out at the sunset. Have I described paradise yet? Because if I haven’t this is what it truly feels like – paradise on earth. As we are swimming we just keep thanking the Lord for this most amazing treat. It feels like the... (more)
