World Wind of Life

"The world wind of life has hit us hard and fast and we are trying to slow it up somewhat.  While it had hit us we have welcomed a new grand daughter to our family.  Addison arrived Oct 16, 2013.  A beautiful healthy little girl that has stolen our hearts."  As I came back to write, I see that I started a post but saved it to come back to and well life happened.  I reread what I was writing and I can't think back to when I was typing that or what was happening.  Oh well, I do know that we do have our beautiful little sweet peanut.  Addison was baptized this past Sunday.  What a sweet, sweet human being.  

This was one of her first photos after being welcomed into the world.

This is three months later on her baptism. 

Even though I am not sure what was all happening and slowing down was going to be my main focus, I did manage to accomplish it.  

Different things at work have changed and I no longer have the feeling that I need to work so dang much trying to fill in for the open hours.  When I have off, I actually have off.  I love it.  Last week there were a few days that we had the grandbabies and those few days only involved them.  We sat back and played duplos, cars, read many stories, and even watched movies.  I found myself sitting back and feeling very relaxed.  It didn't matter that my house looked like it threw up. I was enjoying the little things in life and nothing else mattered.  Another important part that I have learned while "vegging" those couple days with the the kids...I learned all the parts of Madagascar that Ashton automatically laughs at.  What a laugh he has.  Quite contagious if I don't say so my self.  You can't help but laugh. Those are the simple things in life that you can never be to thankful for.  I have off Sat and Sun this week and I plan on once again enjoying the simple things and enjoying the slowness of life.  

Hope you are able to do the same.  If so, share with me what your favorite "simple" thing is that you enjoyed :) 

Til then, 

Peace out,
