Here Goes...

So...I've been wondering for a while how I was going to tackle THIS blog post...seeing as I've painted such a picture of my life through my words and pictures and other things I've chosen to share on this here bloggity blog.

I'm just going to come out and say it...I'll welcome any questions, comments or hints and suggestions you might have for me, if there are any...and we'll just take it from there.

Gordon and I have separated.

The kids and I are living with my mom (Thank God for her generosity in this craZy time) and we have begun the whole "his time, my time" mumbo jumbo.

Something that I never thought I'd ever have to do.  Something I never wanted to have to do.  Something I feel like I did everything in my power to prevent.

The kids are hanging in.  They are healthy and safe and loved beyond words.  Of course, GT has taken it hard.  I knew it wouldn't be easy on him.  He is coming around.  It will take time for all of us.  Only time with tell what kind of impact this will have on Vadyn.  I'll do everything I can to help lessen her burden.

Our family has been great...and when I say our families, I mean Gordon's and mine.  Support will be the only way any of us will get through this.  Gordon and I are doing are best to remain friends.  Something that I've enjoyed being with him.

The past two months really haven't been a time in my life where I've even felt like taking pictures, so I don't have hardly any to share, but I didn't want you to be able to see how much the kids have grown, so here you go...

Guess who is walking...

This is more than likely my last or second to last blog post on When One + One = Four...I'm creating a new space for my new life..just Mister, Missy & Me...

...to be continued...

It seems like Our lives are in complete upheaval at the moment...

Change is on the horizon...

Please, won't you stay tuned?!?

Before and After

I'm Baaaack....High Five For Friday!!

It's been a while since my last High Five for Friday Post - but, with the incredible trip that we took to the St. Louis Zoo yesterday (compliments of my notsolittleanymore sister, Leslie) I couldn't resist.

So here we have - High Five For Friday (the St. Louis Zoo edition)

Today, I'm HIGH FIVIN'...

Vadyn's FIRST TRIP to the Zoo...



...being THISCLOSE to the hippopotomasus'...my favorite!!



For Safari Passes...I will never not do this...it's a great idea & a teriffic bargain!!!  In a nutshell, it's a one-day pass that includes admission to the Children's Zoo, Zooline Railroad, Conservation Carousel, Movie, 4-D Motion Simulator and Stingrays at Caribbean Cove.  INCREDIBLE.
(Thanks again, Leslie!!)

...for having pictures turn out of the three of us...

...for the amazing spread that Leslie provided and packed for our picnic lunch...

Have a great weekend everyone!!

Happy Fathers Day to all of the Dad's out there...especially you, Uncle Denis, I'm pretty sure you are the only DAD that reads my blog...

WIP Wednesday

Vadyn's dolly is almost finished...I've just the face and clothes to finish...

I am so pleased with how this project is turning out.  I can hardly wait to start another doll when I'm finished with this one...the second one always turns out better...

I'm not going to lie...the hair was intense.  It took just as long, if not longer to finish, than the entire doll body - but it's been worth EVERY second.  I get warm fuzzies when I think about my baby girl having this dolly for her lifetime.

 

 

SOMEthing's Drawn...

I'm back linking up again today with Mrs. K...for little Draw Some fun... I didn't share any drawings last week, so I've some makin' up to do...Check it:

 If you don't have a blog and want me to include some of your favorite drawings in next weeks post...send them my way!

Happy 1st Birthday Cupcake!!

Today is a VERY SPECIAL day.

Our Little Cupcake turns ONE year "old".

It seems like just yesterday we were bringing our precious little bundle home from the hospital in diving into life with two children.

 

Vadyn has been such an incredible blessing in our lives.

We love you, Cupcake!!
