I Don't Know Where To Start......

It has been awhile.... again!  I have been procrastinating again!!!  I know why, but it just happens.  I sit down to catch up on my blog and I see how much I have missed telling and then I give up.  I really do better when I post a couple of times a week, but now that I have let so many memories go by like this..
Meilynn's first lost tooth
and...
Jilliana's first birthday with us
and....
a special moment with Daddy at Disneyland
and...
Crazy weather in our town where it never snows and it did this day
and....
Meilynn giving Jilliana her first make-up lesson
and...
Jilliana's first Christmas
and....
Baking day with all of the girls in our family, back row, Meghan, Kami, me, Aunt Julie, Aunt Debbie, Grandma. First row, Lily, Jilliana, Emma, and Meilynn
and...
Special hugs for Grandma
and...
Crazy hat day at school
and...


a special day with Emma and Meilynn's teacher, baking cookies
and...


A special Pirate Themed Party out in the desert
and...
Lily getting Student of the Month in her class
and...
Valentine's Day and Two years home for Lily and one year home for Jilliana
and...
A special spa weekend with my Mom, two sisters, and two oldest daughters where everyone found out that I am going to be a GRANDMA!!!!
and....
A special lunch with Grandpa after Jilliana's Christmas School performance
and...

fun times playing dress up at the museum
and....
finding out that Meghan is having a GIRL!!!!!


I am going to try to not let the time go by and not post, because I am behind.  There is so much to share.  I have so much to talk about.  I have a discipline post that I started about three months ago, and even though those feelings are past, I know that they might be beneficial to someone going through the same thing. 


 I have a great idea that I did at Christmas that I really want to share.


  I have feelings of wanting to adopt one last time, but Mike does not have the same feelings and I know so many other women (although I do know of one man) who share this with me. 


 I have a daughter leaving to live in Barcelona and I know there are so many people dealing with their children leaving, whether it be to College, marriage, or moving away.


I don't have enough time in my day and I KNOW THAT YOU MAY BE DEALING WITH THAT TOO!


I have a desire to be closer to God.


So there is much to talk about and so much I did not even cover here.  I may not have any followers left since I have been so negligent, but I now have motivation to keep my daughter who is moving so far away and has been so close up to date.


So there you have it!  I have shared my weaknesses.


Next post will be about LIly and Lyla together again!  If you don't know the story it is about two little girls that grew up together in a Guangdong orphanage.  Both girls were adopted at the age of 6 within a few weeks of each other.  Lily lives in California and Lyla lives in Arkansas.  It is the story of two mother's knowing that it is an important for these two girls to remain in touch.

Oh Vicki! I bet you are over the moon happy for Meghan! A new baby girl, how perfect! Sounds to me like you need a little testosterone in the house. Poor Mike needs an ally! (Have you seen Linley from Lifeline? She's in Taiwan) I fell in love with her but Jon is done, finis, kaput! I pray that Mike will have another change of heart. We all know what happens when the Lord speaks. Please keep us posted on the new baby. Hugs, Sue
