Welcome!!

I am a big time blog reader but didn't really think I would end up doing one of my own. I have decided however to give it a try!
Here's my plan..... I will blog daily (well let's be realistic, it may not be daily :) ) to update everyone about the life of our four monkeys as they grow. This is hopefully going to be as much for me as for you so I will have a type of journal to look back on.
Life here is ok today! Today happens to be the day I gave birth to my second lost Angel one year ago. I am suprisingly doing well considering the other day I was quite a wreck. As Nee wrote to me the other day, "God took a life away from you, and then gave you a life in Ben. I can see how that would bring conflicting feelings for you." I couldn't have said it better myself! I just love Ben and could not imagine life without him but I still grieve my lost babies. Well I think I quoted that pretty accurately but I just checked my email and no longer have it so I could be off by a word or two. I had hoped to pay a visit to the Memorial Garden our little one was laid to rest but it is very cold and windy so we will wait for a nicer day.
Yesterday was Easter and we had a wonderful day filled with family, love and great food. Oh, and chocolate, lots of it too! We went to Chris' aunt Joann's house which was so much fun. The kids had a blast hunting for the 360 eggs that were hidden outside!
Well Ben is calling (crying) to let me know he is done with his not-so-long nap. What do you think, will I get the house clean today????
