sometimes

Sometimes you just need to get out and see the world...

(for now, the world is my big back yard)

Sometimes you just are NOT a morning person...

(especially when mommy is at work and daddy doesn't "do" hair)

Sometimes you need to just let it all hang out...

(but NOT when you are trying on jeans.)

Sometimes you must use your imagination to entertain yourself...

(in this case, mommy was the one entertained by this.)

Sometimes boys wear pink...

(those times are when daddy is at work.)

Sometimes our emotions are bigger than we are...

(a lot of times I get so excited I can hardly contain myself. )

Sometimes you just can't let go...

(Mommy & me plan to continue our night time routine for just a little while longer!) 

Sometimes it is hard for Mommy to remember how we got here ... 

because a year ago was a really rough time in her life. 

I was too little to remember, but this time last year, Grandma Barb had to come live with us. 

Grandma and Daddy took care of me while Mommy tried to get better. 

Mommy eventually got better, but there was a time when she believed she never would.
If only she could have fast-forwarded to this...

and she would have known we would all be ok. 

Sometimes you have to live through some hard times to appreciate the really good ones. 

Mommy says thanks again to Grandma and Daddy (and Grandma Candi too!)

She will never forget what you did for us.
