When looking back at pictures of Gavin and Gunner when they were Gracie's age, I realized I have missed blogging. It takes much longer to upload on Blogger than it does Facebook, plus Facebook seems to reach more family and friends. I thought I would take the easy way out and just use FB. I think I will really kick myself in the future if I do not continue my blog because I will not have all the little captions reminding me of what these crazy yet wonderful days are like. So, I'm going to jump back into it and see if I can't keep up!
Gracie and I recently attended our first mother and daughter banquet with Mimi at NTCC. It was a lot of fun and really made me feel proud to be both a mother and daughter. As I sat in the room surrounded by so many wonderful women and young ladies, I became more thankful than ever for my baby girl. I CANNOT imagine my world without her. As I've always been told, there's nothing that compares to the bond a mother and daughter share. The only thing that could have made the night more perfect would have been the company of my grandma Judy. It was an evening that also made me miss my Grandma Elaine as I know she would have been very proud to attend such an event with us.
Mommy's friends, Tara and Heather, with their daughters, Lindsey and Emma.
The STAR of the show! I love you baby girl!

Indeed it's been many years since we've attended a mother-daughter banquet (or All Daughters banquet as NTCC now calls it). Talk about beaming with pride. It was truly a rewarding evening . . . one that I hope continues to become an annual tradition now. I remember going to the banquets with my mom and now I know how proud she used to be. I am so glad that you have already come to appreciate the little things in life. I am so proud of you, my daughter, who sacrifices so much to be a stay-at-home mom. I hope you find time to enjoy "In Praise of Stay-at-Home Moms" book autographed just for you. I'm sure there are days you want to pull out your hair or wish you had more adult socialization but deep down, I know you know the importance of being there for your three precious angels!!! I am so thankful you live close now so I can help out and watch them grow up. I want the same relationship I had with my grandparents whom I saw all the time. They were so special!!! You amaze me how you take all 3 kids out and about all by yourself. No wonder you don't have an ounce of body fat--you work it all off doing things with your kids. I love you so much; more than you'll ever know!!
I'm glad you are still blogging. You are right...it would be easy to quit, but I just keep going since I know I don't write down every little thing that happens in daily life. Some day I will be able to revisit the blog and jot those things down in the baby books.
I know, for some reason blogger has got me so frustrated lately, but my goal is to someday have mine printed, so even if no one reads mine, at least I know I'll have stories for the kids!
Keeps yours up, you'll be glad you did!
