Just a quick update on my precious little men – they are now a little over 3 months old and are already showing signs of cutting teeth! This was taken last night during their 2AM feeding.

forty-one
Thursday, February 18th, 2010I awoke to another birthday today, one I thought I’d never see. Even when I was as young as 11 years old I told Mrs. Richardson (my school teacher at the time) that I wouldn’t see a birthday past forty. I remember this as clearly as it was yesterday; I told her to just ask Billy Joel, he’ll tell you that “only the good die young“.
Needless to say I’m still alive, kicking and very happy that I made it past forty as my life today is more blessed than it’s ever been. My Forever Love and Muse Miss Lyndsay Lane has become my soul reason for living. The births of Cade and Collin have made me see Clearer than I ever have and my Heart Miss Meleia Jean keeps my everyday of life more important than the last. I’m also very proud of my oldest boys Conner and Zachary – they’ve turned out to be such good men. I’d like to think I had a little to do with this although I was never around much for them.
Everything I make it through everyday wouldn’t be possible without my new family here in Iowa; Ted, Connie, Missy, Deb and John, Lori and Vern, the list goes on and on. These people are what make my world as Sunny as it is these days.
I made it Mom and Dad. I’m still alive. I’m still kicking. Thank you. You’re both the main reason I am where I stand today. I’m not sure where this new year and new life will take me but I know that I’ll smile more than I’ll cry and this alone makes every breath I take worthwhile.
Yes Lyndsay, I know too that one day everything will be ok again between us. I do love you.

miracles come around
Sunday, January 3rd, 2010miracles come around
and good things just form somehow
in me now
because of the both of you
and I sit here thinking all alone
of the wonders you’ll know one day
of this world with you both so new inside
am I’m surviving once again you know
both of you bring me alive
bring me strength unknown before
with your little lives in my hands now.
I’m going to show you both how to
choose the roads less travelled
the ones that always lead to better beginnings
and you’ll both find
there wont be as many bitter endings
in the things you’ll both do
in the adventures you’ll both know.
and I will give you what it takes to make your way around
the crazy world outside
with a little poetry
and maybe
there just might be
little poets alive inside of both of you
an artist’s little artists you both are.
yes you’re my boys
you’re my simple everything
you’re healthy full of my first life
and it’s shining through in your open eyes now
miracles come around and good things
just form somehow
in me now.
you’re my boys
you’re my simple everything
you’re healthy full of my first life
and it’s shining through in your open eyes
now
an artist’s little artists have come to life
inside.
