Feeling proud ...

Yesterday I woke up around 2am with a horrible headache.  I tossed and turned for a few hours and finally got back to sleep around 5ish.  At 7:50 my oldest walks into the room and wakes me up.  I asked her what was wrong and she said "Mommy, its 7:50 and we have to go to school".  My head was still pounding and I was feeling sick but as my brain started waking up to what she was telling me I felt panic run through me.  I started to get up and was apologizing to her and she said "its okay Mommy, we got dressed and I made waffles for us and brushed Mikayla's hair and made our lunches." I just looked at her through my fuzzy morning eyes and felt tears building.  I couldn't believe my little daughter got everyone all ready and let me sleep in.  I was proud of her for doing it but a little sad too that she didn't need me.  She is growing up and she is amazing me every day.  She is such a polite little lady; she's self-motivated and always wanting to make people happy.  I love you Caitlin!  You make Mommy very proud.

No more snow...

See all of this snow - well it's GONE!  :(  If it's going to be cold then I want the snow.  
We had so much fun playing with the kids and dog in the snow - please send the snow back!! 

We're off to Seattle this weekend to see family and I am so excited!  I can't wait to see my sis!
