Life is amazing.
Life is ever changing.
We have one little girl who can pick up a book and READ and one little boy whose vocabulary and questions of the world continue to make us smile on a daily basis. "I'm going to marry a turkey," he declares yesterday. "A turkey?".." yes, a big turkey mommy, ok?" Ok Rylan..whatever makes you happy. And if that made him happy, so be it.
She whose social calendar is one already a bit complicated and he who for the first time is asking for a playdate with a friend he made on his own at school. To watch my children grow and embrace life is one of my biggest blessings. They remind me how quickly life passes by and at the same time teach me to take hold of today, and live in the moment, embracing the uniqueness and genuinity of the here and now. All too soon I'll be dropping her off at the mall with her girlfriends and taking him to all day school.
I've been thinking for a while on how to document our lives right now and it is very simple but yet complicated. We love our little family...the busy, the crazy loud, the energetic clan that we are. Each day we make decisions in the best interest for the four of us together and individually alike. We trust our instinct, some things requiring a long range plan while other things are simple in the moment decisions.
Last week Scott celebrated his birthday. The kids were counting down the days and they couldn't wait to celebrate their Daddy. They know that birthdays are a big deal around here; celebratory days that are met with rainbows and magic and sweet surprises. "What are we going to to do for Daddy's birthday mommy? Are we going to have a big party?" Although we opted out of the big party we made sure that Daddy knew how much he is loved and treasured. And oh boy..is he loved.
Scott has a lot to celebrate. Last month he opened the doors to a new opportunity and started his very own consulting company. Check him out here...http://www.positionglobal.com He is loving his new professional life which has already greeted him with success, and I couldn't be more proud of him. Together we decorated his home office and as a family we have learned how to respect his need for quieter times and honestly, the kids are doing really well with not interrupting his office doors. I think they are enjoying that he is home at night with a commute of seconds, and one that is not dependent on traffic! We are loving that the worries and stress of yesterday are promises and hope for tomorrow. And even though we don't have a steady income for right now, we are ok, we are happy and we are oh so good. Positive energy consumes our every day and it is such an exciting time for us.
On this Thanksgiving week, I couldn't be more thankful for my little family and the story our lives weave. Our good health and love is one I will never take for granted. I wish you a Happy Thanksgiving and I hope you are surrounded by those that love you unconditionally and you enjoy a wonderful holiday. xo Kelly

Happy Thanksgiving! I'm thankful for your blog. It is a great way to see my great niece and nephew from a far. They are too sweet and you are doing a great job parenting. I'll be celebrating Thanksgiving with Kris (Joe and Alex,too) for the first time in 11 years. Mike, Tif and Nolan will be in their new place in Kansas City so it will be our first year apart (from Mike). Life is full of change this year...all for the better. Have fun and enjoy your precious family. Love, AA
