Daughter
DAUGHTER such a common word that we throw around but what does it really mean? Does it mean that because you give birth to her she is then your daughter? But what if that's all you do? Is she still yours if you don't take care of her? What if you adopt a daughter? Is she not the the daughter of your heart? Does it really matter if she didn't come from your body? What if you remarry and a daughter comes with the package, is she automatically yours? Or do you have to work extra hard to make her feel that way? Will she ever feel like yours?
I know this may seem weird but it is a subject that has been on my heart lately. Maybe it's because I have two wonderful daughters both of which are growing up way too fast. They both have very different personalities and yet I love them both just the same. I don't just take care of their basic needs, I nuture them and love them and catch them when they fall and cry with them when I can't fix it. I love them for who they are, for who I hope they come to be, unconditionally for eternity. I want them to have what I don't and can't have. I pray that God watches over them always and may He give me strength to raise Godly Girls!!

Sick
I am still sick and tired of it. Going on week three now-every time I start to feel better one of the kids brings something home from school. Sydney is also sick, missed two days last week and two days this week. She keeps recontaminating me! I think I will take her to the dr. just to make sure she doesn't have any infection, no fever though so that's good.
The boys have started basketball, today was Noah's second practice. I love to watch him enjoy himself. This is Nathan's first year to play, he hasn't practiced yet but he is so excited! Can't wait to see him play!
Shelby is handling middle school pretty well. Lots of adjustments. She is changing so fast, in some ways more than others. Of course, she is not sick-I'm glad.
Sydney is pretty pitiful, hopefully after I pump her with vitamin c she will be all better.
Looking forward to everyone being well again!!
