A Beautiful Picture of Love

I remember the first time I had to take Isabelle to get her shots, and how I kept thinking how am I going to be able to hold her while she looks at me and thinks, "mom, why aren't you stopping this?" But in reality I knew as her mom this was the best thing for her or I would not be doing it. We make these hard choices as parents and my example is just on a small scale of pain. I know I have blogged about my sister, but this is where my heart and energy are at right now, but once again I just want to tell her this, "Summer you are doing awesome!" I stayed with them last night to help with feedings and just for a little perspective each tube feeding takes about an hour to an hour and a half, plus summer has to pump, well Lyric has been throwing up so much that it turns into clean up and bath and makes everything take that much more time. Last night I watched my little sister hold her baby girl and just let her throw up on her...what a beautiful picture of love. My sister talks so calmly to help Lyric get through the throw up and dry heaving and she handles it all so well. She loves on her until she is calm then cleans up the vomit then starts the laundry. I have mountains of respect for how she still listens to my problems and when I tell her, "sorry this is stupid compared to your problems" she responds with "hey that is your life and what your dealing with is important too." She is so loving. And the beautiful thing about Summer is she isn't faking it but this is just who she is!
I guess to wrap this up, Summer when you think how are we going to do this? Or you think "I just can't take anymore." Look back on all you have handled for two months, since you found out. God has decided as your Father that this is best, for whatever reason He has, just like we do for our children.
You are one amazing woman and I am proud to not only call you my sister but my friend!!

A Lot of changes

The last few weeks have been super crazy with moving, we still don't have internet at the new house so I am having to blog when I am over to help Summer with Lyric. So this won't be a super deep post or anything just a few pics from the last few weeks....

In the midst of packing I decided that the girls and I should get out in the sun, so here are pictures of our last time playing in our back yard in McLoud.

This is the saddest moving picture EVER...

When we moved we went ahead and moved Kimber to a big girl bed, so here are pictures from her last night in a crib :( :)

Hope to post more soon!!!
