Starting Somewhere....

It's been a long time. I know. There is lots to share and I just didn't know where to start. So, I'm starting here. With what matters most.

Two sisters. As close as ever. They fight like crazy but have each others backs day in and day out. True love.

This girl is about to be 7! She got her ears pierced, got an infection and no longer has them pierced. She learned how to sew by needle point and can tell you (and show you) 8 different ways to use the needle. She is a reader, an artist and an amazing friend to others.

This girl went to her orientation to meet her Kindergarten teacher last week. I sat with tears in my eyes as she ran off with the teacher without so much as a backward glance towards me. She lives life to the fullest these days; she is writing her name, knows all her letters and sounds and continues to light up any room with her laugh and smile.

Ahh. These two. They are happy. Busy. But happy. He celebrated a birthday in April (and turned my favorite number), is recovering from a gum graph surgery and busily finishing up another school year. She has stumbled upon a new business making headbands and clips (look for Seriously, Heather LLC to debut soon) and is counting down the days until she can sip coffee on the back porch without being in a hurry. Life is busy but the love they share is in full bloom.

And all of us? Happy, united, strong and feeling blessed to have one another.
