Good Morning

I don't need an alarm clock. It was light out as I was sticking a pacifier in Nick's little mouth to try to catch a few more moments of sleep. It was only a few minutes after seven when we came down to the kitchen to make a morning bottle. That's late for some, I know, but BN (Before Nick) time I had a difficult time being up by 9:00.
One of the first things I did this morning was to read Ian's blog. I don't ever want to fall so far behind in reading his blog again. This weekend I decided to scroll til I discovered when he came home--it was the end of April!
Today it made me think of what a total difference there is between the lives of people who live Christ-centered and those who don't. That family is going through so much, (to say the least), and they are still an inspiration to thousands. `Last night our neighbor got drunk (once again) and called the police on my sons because he said their fire was casting ash on his boat cover. So this morning my thoughts were on looking out the window and noticing there are no ashes on his boat cover.....We could get caught up in the trivia. Nick is fussing, so I'll have to finish this thought later.

Gentle (and sometimes not so gentle) Reminders

Last night I was reminded why I started this blog 15 months ago. It was to celebrate the life of my three sons. I remember the first entries being very careful to only post positive comments. Then I went through a slump and didn't post much. I love my sons more than life itself.
Please remember the Haughery family in your prayers these coming weeks. In fact, here is the link to both the blogs I used to read on here. These blogs both kept me grounded on remembering the good things that happen on a daily basis and realizing that my "bad" is miniscual compared to others.
