Where has time gone?!



Since my last post, way too much has happened and I am beginning anew. Jackson has a new sister and he is very much in love with her. Reagan is a true blessing to our family. She will join the growing ranks of the Schoettlers and Andersons - David and his wife, Shannon, had a boy, Calvin, in December; Katie and Kipp are due any day now; Betsy and Rob had a baby girl, Hannah, just a few days ago; Naomi and Matt are due in December. With all of these babies and my beautiful baby girl - I am feeling so much love! I cannot explain the overflowing joy in my heart, but I am truly in love with my baby girl, Reagan, and my best buddy, Jackson. God has truly blessed me with the best children ever. This is true for all parents, but I can honestly say my heart and mind feel this truth in its purest form. I grow each day with these kids. Jackson has taught me true happiness and Reagan has taught me sincere love - what could be better. I am not perfect, but I can truly say I am the best I can be!

My good friend moved away and I found myself squandering for friendship again. I don't trust easily and find myself more content with being by myself with my kids, but this friend brought out a better side of me. I miss her, but I'm grateful she hasn't moved too far away - she's God's blessing to me and I'm so honored to have her in my life. She has also taught me that I can trust again - and for that I am forever grateful because I have trusted in another great friend and these two ladies are just the best!

Well, Baby girl is asleep and so should I be. Daddy likes to call her Honeybee and I often see why - she is sweet and so wonderful!
