FOCUS

I can not believe I have not posted since October. I had no idea the challenge going from 1 to 2 would be. There are so many things that have changed since Reece entered our lives. All at the same time it feels as if she has always been here. She is so vibrant. Her name means verve for life and it nails her. I am consumed watching her grow into her personality and seeing it develop. I really am excited because I am just in love with who my two children are. Foster is a little peculiar. I never wanted ordinary and we definitely did not receive ordinary with Foster. He is extraordinary. I can watch his every emotion register across his face. My favorite is love and glee. We are still waiting for him to talk to us and I am trying to be so patient but I want to hear what his heart has to say. The past months continually challenge me to put what is important in my life into focus. I constantly realize that work is just that. work. it is not the north pole that my life revolves around. My family is the everything. I am trying to minimize the "things" in my life and maximize the "life" in my life. I want to look back and see the experiences that I had with my husband and our babies more than anything else. So I guess the word that defines the last 6 months is focus. Because when I loose focus I loose what is important. The FOCUS in my life is my husband. Our Children. And Growth. Not comparisons to others. Not to what the "normal" for every little thing is- but the happiness and normal of our lives. The fact that we are happy by the little things. Giggling at my husband as we lay in bed talking. My son holding my face and kissing my lips. The glee the babies show on their faces when I walk in from work. Reece learning to sit up and smile. These are the important parts of my life. The joy I have from sitting down having a cup of coffee and reading a book. This is my focus. The good is my focus.
