I have been wanting to post this for a long time now. I just haven’t had the time or even energy to do it. Many have said that I don’t post enough. Oops. I just get sidetracked too easily. I love reading everyone’s though!! Be aware, this one is lengthy, especially with pictures. We had so much fun.

Our most favorite babysitter, Bronwen came to visit us for a week in August. We actually talked her into staying one more day too:) I loved having her here. Just seeing the bond my kids have with her is amazing. She was the first babysitter for them when we moved to Corinth. Cameron was just a baby when we came. I still remember the day when Serena called me asking if Bronwen can watch our kids so we can go to the temple. I was so nervous. Not that I didn’t think Bronwen couldn’t handle it, it was because Cameron was still my baby. I was very protective of Cameron since he was born with Down Syndrome. I know it is silly. You can probably say that I am still very protective. What can you say, I love my boys! Anyways, she did such a great job that night, that we didn’t want to have anyone else watch our kids. She was ours! Now we are having different sitters. Still though Bronwen is there favorite. The other night she called to say hi. Ricky was having a bad day and asked to talk to her. As I sat at his bedside and listened to him talk to her, it hit me, he was having trouble at school. I can’t believe how open he was to her. Of course I was little teary eyed. That bond with her is so amazing! Thank you Bronwen for being there for my kids!!!

Bronwen was able to spend time with her BEST friend Allegra too. She was so sweet about giving everyone the attention they needed from her. Blake and Serena should be proud parents. Bronwen is amazing. If I could have a girl like Bronwen, I would in a heart beat. I loved spending some time with her as well. I guess its because I feel so close to there family. Blake and Serena were the ones that were there for me the Sunday I went to the ER. Blake gave me the most amazing blessing that gave me the hope I needed to get through my cancer trial. Serena spent the night at the hospital Sunday night, until Randy could get a flight back from Chicago. She was there for my mom too. She gave us the great idea to write on paper everyday what the doctors were saying. What a blessing that turned out to be. I am still trying to write my book. I don’t know what I would have done without the Biddulph family. I am sad they moved back to Utah, but happy for them. At least I go there every few months. I wasn’t able to see them this last trip, but maybe for Thanksgiving?!

One more thing I have to say is that shopping with a teenager is a totally different experience:) I loved it! It brought back so many memories of when I was there age. I loved having Allegra around too. Her family just had a baby with Down Syndrome:) I am so glad that I am here today to hopefully help them out whenever they need help. I love that little one too. My arms ache to hold her again. I just keep getting sick:( You know how I am about being sick around little babies…They are so gentle.

Hopefully now that I have a more open schedule, I can post like I want to. I love getting stuff off my chest and out there for my family to see. I guess this could be like my journal?
