iHelp


Oh, the joys of a 2yr. old discovering her independence. Madison is hell bent on doing everything herself these days. From getting dressed and putting on shoes, to buckling up her car seat. When you try to help her, you'll quickly hear the phrase "I help!" which is her way of saying "I want to do it by myself!". And she's not satisfied until your hands are completely clear. And Heaven forbid you try to step in and hurry things along as she struggles with a task, you'll hear her say again (only louder) "I HELP!".

Behind that smiling, sweet face lies a little girl who has a mind of her own and isn't afraid to use it. Later in life it's a quality that will come in handy but, right now it's teaching Mommy a thing or two about patience!

Looking Back and New Beginnings

I figured that today would be a good day to start using my blog again, since today is the six month mark since Jeff's accident. We've come a long way and are doing well. He still has a lot of recovery to do, but he's farther today than the doctors thought he'd be.

I'm just so incredibly grateful and thankful.
