"You are not here to live a mediocre to average life; you are here to live an amazing life, a miraculous life. If it weren't for your challenges, there would be no miracles. You must do that which seems impossible, for it is only in the impossible that miracles are had." - author unknown, but very respected

Pictures from our Picnic with the Veenendaal's


I was lazy and handed the camera over to Kelly, and that turned out to be one of the smartest things I did all week :).  She got so many cute pictures of Annie and her girls.  And some of Erika too :).  Kelly's getting really good, and I'm benefitting :)

I know it's cheesy to say this, and I hope I'm not driving Annie crazy, but I LOVE seeing her as a mom.  She is THE cutest Mom, her girls always look so pretty and all done up, and of course she looks just like she did 10 years ago, all skinny and beautiful.  I don't know how she's doing the Mom thing right now with such a crappy work and school schedule, but she is!!  I'm just so impressed.  She's always amazed me and been someone I looked to for motivation to keep going, and now, that's even more so.  She's an inspiration.  I love that she has prioritized her family and stays home with them as well.  ANyway.  I could go on.  Annie is one of my idols.  I wish we could get together more often.



This was our first time meeting Jocelyn.  She is such a doll!!  

Even though Erika was feeling totally baby-hungry for OUR baby to come, she gave in and held "a girl baby" just for a few minutes :).  She looks like she's ready what do you think?

You are so sweet! We loved meeting up with you. We need to do it again when baby Jack can come out to play.
