My Curly!

I have been wonderfully blessed with a great husband, two beautiful daughters, a family that loves me and the most recent addition to our family, who in just a couple weeks is going to be two, my little Curly, Leilah Grace.

We recently traveled to the Sandsation festival and had so much fun. I don't get to spend a ton of time with her because of our busy schedules but we got to spend an entire weekend together as a family building sand castles, going on horse rides, playing at the beach, going to the bakery, and just all around having a fun time. Watching her play in the sand and be care free was so wonderful. It reminded me of what is important in life. That as adults we often forget about having fun and being who God made us to be. We are often so wrapped up in what we should do or should say or how we should act that we loose ourselves.

Last night Robb and I went a saw a movie - not necessarily one I would recommend, but he loved it. In the movie there is a part where a father is talking to his grown children and telling them that as a child he had wanted to be a T-rex dinosaur but that his father had told him that was unrealistic and to grow up, get a job and be responsible. He said the he always thought that he would do that but when he had accomplished the responsible things he would come back and become a T-rex. The problem was that over the years he had lost it and no longer knew how to be a T-rex. His point was that he wanted his boys to be responsible, but he didn't want them to make the mistake he made and loose their dinosaur.

So, I encourage you all to keep your dinosaur. Pick flowers, eat berries, use hula hoops, ride a trike, swing from the monkey bars, love life, love others and most of all love who you are.
