Trevor in T-ball

Lessons in Life
By Regina Brett
To celebrate growing older, I once wrote the 45 lessons life taught me. It is the most-requested column I've ever written. My odometer rolls over to 50 this week, so here's an update:
1. Life isn't fair, but it's still good.
2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.
3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.
4. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
5. Pay off your credit cards every month.
6.You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
7. Cry with someone. It's more healing than crying alone.
8. It's OK to get angry with God. He can take it.
9. Save for retirement starting with your first paycheck.
10. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile.
11. Make peace with your past so it won't screw up the present.
12. It's OK to let your children see you cry.
13. Don't compare your life to others'. You have no idea what their journey is all about. 14. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn't be in it.
15. Everything can change in the blink of an eye. But don't worry; God never blinks.
16. Life is too short for long pity parties. Get busy living, or get busy dying.
17. You can get through anything if you stay put in today.
18. A writer writes. If you want to be a writer, write.
19. It's never too late to have a happy childhood. But the second one is up to you and no one else.
20. When it comes to going after what you love in life, don't take no for an answer.
21. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Don't save it for a special occasion. Today is special.
22. Over prepare, then go with the flow.
23. Be eccentric now. Don't wait for old age to wear purple.
24. The most important sex organ is the brain.
25. No one is in charge of your happiness except you.
26. Frame every so-called disaster with these words: "In five years, will this matter?" 27. Always choose life.
28. Forgive everyone everything.
29. What other people think of you is none of your business.
30. Time heals almost everything. Give time time.
31. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
32. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will. Stay in touch. 33. Believe in miracles.
34. God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or didn't do. 35. Whatever doesn't kill you really does make you stronger.
36. Growing old beats the alternative - dying young.
37. Your children get only one childhood. Make it memorable.
38. Read the Psalms. They cover every human emotion.
39. Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere.
40. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else's, we'd grab ours back. 41. Don't audit life. Show up and make the most of it now.
42. Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful.
43. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.
44. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.
45. The best is yet to come.
46. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.
47. Take a deep breath. It calms the mind.
48. If you don't ask, you don't get.
49. Yield.
50. Life isn't tied with a bow, but it's still a gift.

Lucas is three months old today!
He is such a cuddle-bug, and growing fast! He loves to be held and walked around, especially in his Ergo carrier. That is great b/c I know that I can put him in it when I am places with all three kids and I know he won't cry too much. Lucas seems very aware all of a sudden of his surroundings and especially where I am. He also has discovered his hands and feet and loves to kick the toys on his bouncy seat and chew his fist. He moves around alot when placed on the floor, but is not really rolling over yet(I don't think he wants to be on his belly). Lucas can hold his head up really high when placed on his tummy on my lap. He has slept completely through the night one time, but his usual stretch is 4-6 hrs (not too bad!) My favorite nickname for him is Boy-boy. We are going to have one busy and fun summer! Pictures to follow.....

Day one......Back at work
Well, exactly 12 weeks to the hour of Lucas coming into the world, I'm back at work. It feels good, but it is a little overwhelming. I didn't sleep at all last night! It is amazing how much changes in healthcare in 3 months. It's like starting a new job all over again. It was good to get back and see my friends (and eat dinner sitting down!). The kids are doing great home with daddy and this schedule is going to work our great for the summer. Stay tuned for the wedding photos.......

Mike and Michelle 6-2-07
Thank you so much to my cousin Mike and his new wife Michelle for allowing us the pleasure of being a part of their wedding day! We had a fantastic time both at the rehersal and dinner and the wedding and reception. I'll never forget the huge emotions that flodded over me watching my children walk down the isle! I guess no matter what age your children walk down the isle, as a parent you are going to be a little teary:) Depite the lack of air conditioning (I felt so bad for you guys in that limo!!) It is going to be a day that I'll remember fondly for a long time to come. Best of luck to Mike and Michelle in their future and God Bless!

The Best Is Yet To Be
On your joyful wedding day,You begin a brand new life.Friends and family give their giftsTo joyful husband, blissful wife.
But the greatest gift you'll ever get,A gift from heaven above,Is love forever, ending never,Everlasting love.
You'll share life's joy and pleasure;You'll have plenty of that, it's true.But love is the real treasureFor your new spouse and you.
And if life hands you challenges,As it does to one and all,Your love will hold you steadyAnd never let you fall.
Your wedding day is full of joy;Tomorrow you cannot see.But one thing's sure for the two of you:The best is yet to be.
But the greatest gift you'll ever get,A gift from heaven above,Is love forever, ending never,Everlasting love.
You'll share life's joy and pleasure;You'll have plenty of that, it's true.But love is the real treasureFor your new spouse and you.
And if life hands you challenges,As it does to one and all,Your love will hold you steadyAnd never let you fall.
Your wedding day is full of joy;Tomorrow you cannot see.But one thing's sure for the two of you:The best is yet to be.
