My family-My rock...

The fall has started. It is by far my favorite time of year. I love to bring out the yumm candles and make hot chocolate for the girls. The best coffee creamers come out around this time too. Soon we will be celebrating Miss Emma's 7th birthday, carving pumpkins, filling ourselves full of Thanksgiving goodies, and shopping for Christmas. Where did the year go? When I look back, I am apalled at all that my family has experienced.

The highlights, a huge move from Arizona to Virginia and the birth of our precious baby boy. Thats enough to completely consume the enitre year but it was the little events in between that really make the big ones worth while.

I am so happy today-even with my husband a thousand miles away- and I owe that to my family. We are one unit, and a strong unit at that. So I thank my family...for each and every day that I have with them.

Just because it was so adorable!

Blessed

So here it is, a regular Tuesday morning and I am sitting with a cup of water and coffee, in the garage. The girls are laughing in the sun while driving the "red car", Jayson is toying with his motorcycle, Avery is at my side in his bouncer sleeping like an angel, and I am enjoying the whirl of it all. Its days like today, when everything seems to be so normal that I realize just how truely blessed I am. I often ask myself if I ever thought I would be here now- today. Honestly, I was never one to really analyze life and worry about where I would be, I feel that life leads you where it may. So I guess, no, I never really thought I would be here. I know one thing, I really do love it.

We all have days that seem so trying, and we just don't know how to get through. Today however, is not one of them. These days make the bad days fade away.

Going to try the blog thing again...

So as I have done many time, I am going to try to keep a blog again. Our life has changed so much and I feel that its only fair to keep track of it for family and friends. I don't know how often I will update, but I will do my best. And most of you know what has happened in our life recently so instead of giving a long and drawn out story, I will just say "Welcome to our family Avery jay Flynn!".

Here is to many more blog posts and moans and groans to come....

Another update...

Well, I suppose an update is in order here. Things have been very crazy but such is life I am learning. I had a miscarriage in November and it was a smooth miscarriage (as much as it can be). This makes miscarriage #2 and then of course the loss of Chase, so I am honestly done with the whole loss thing! However, I never got a period after that miscarriage in November because I got pregnant again right away! Thats right0 pregnant again! So here I am- 7w5d today and feeling cautiously optimistic again. I have an ultrasound tomorrow morning to check dates- so excited!

Odd thing is, the last few days I have felt NOTHING. I was nauseas and tired, sore breasts, the whole nine yards. And then just overnight, it seemed to disappear. It was gone for about 4-5 days and I was really concerned that it was over yet again. However, this morning I am not feeling too great. The realist in me wants to chalk it up to my pb&j sandwich that I had for breakfast just wasn't the right choice first thing in the morning. But the optimist in me wants to hope this is a return of the nauseas. I did sleep literally all day yesterday and still managed to get a good nights rest in last night. I assume we will know for sure in the morning. My- how a day can seem so long!

On a different note, it seems that the sickies are finally getting better in our house. Jayson is felling back to normal and it seems Emma's viral pneumonia is gone with the help of antibiotics, thankfully. Erilyn is just fine- being her little pistol self and getting into everything but isn't that what the third year is dedicated to?

I am going to chug some water, it feels as though this may be more than my regular upset tummy. Hmmmm....fingers crossed today for tomorrow.
