Checking the mail...blessings continue

Today was a good day. The last few nights I have stayed up into the wee hours of the morning working on an album on Shutterfly for Avelyn. Earlier tonight I was able to finish this, so I am thankful for this.--Looking forward to getting it in the mail soon. I also took some time during the day to be with our big girls; not as much time as I should have and would have liked, since I have been working on the album, but did enjoy some time. The most fun thing of the day was getting to see Aili really get better with riding her bike. I actually had to jog a few times to keep up with her riding down the neighborhood; maybe not a pretty sight, but a good test for me.--I think I passed. :) I am definitely enjoying my time with them. We were going to go to the pool tonight, but I decided I will take Brooklan tomorrow so I still won't have to get in. I may get brave enough to take them both on Friday. :)

About an hour ago I just got back from walking to the mailbox to get the mail. Lots of goodies in the mail; I guess that's more likely when you don't check it in 2-3 days. :) Before I went, I was thinking I had made it through the day without any tears.--But that wouldn't last long. ;) So thankful for the sweet cards/gifts from people. So kind. Some anonymous, some dear friends/family...and even a note from the mailman. Thanks Dad. :) We have been so blessed by so many things along this journey, and the blessings continue. Thank you. As I walked to the mailbox, I enjoyed looking at the sky again. So many stars out, which was beautiful.--Love my time with my big girls, but also cherish my time with my sweet Avelyn...
