The Chicks


So I realized I have been talking a lot about my challenge. I decided I would take some time to familiarize you with my chicks, Maison and Harleigh. They are both such incredible little ladies. It always amazes me just how much they care and love me and the rest of the family. As I laid in bed today exhausted from the many times I was awoken in the middle of the night by Cooper, my little chicks crawled in bed with me. First of all let me say, I love my bed, and by love I mean to the deepest degree, I could and do spend hours there. So me and the chicks are laying in bed, saying nothing, but sharing moments in life that will never return. It was incredible. I pray that when they grow up that is one of the things the remember doing with me, laying, silent, soaking in the warmth of love that surrounds the three of us. Maison, God bless her is having such a hard time with her school schedule. She has to get up at 6:30 and not only is it too early for me, it is much too early for her. Who would have thought my little girl who from day one has woken up early would now have to be up early and be having problems with it. Harleigh is just a bundle of activity. She has been called Hurricane Harleigh cause you always, always know where she has been. She has enough activity balled up inside of her that if she gave me just a little bit, I might have enough energy to run versus jog the three miles I am training for. Anyway, they are both so incredible and joyful and loving. I relish in each moment with them, the moments pass much too quickly and unfortunately I will never get them back. Take time to love and cherish each moment you have with those that mean the most to you.
