I haven't been blogging so you might be surprised to see I have two HUMONGOUS children. Oh, and I'm kinda a big too ;) Two more months!



I live for those who love me,
Whose hearts are kind and true,
For the Heaven that smiles above me,
And awaits my spirit too;
For all human ties that bind me,
For the task by God assigned me,
For the bright hopes yet to find me,
And the good that I can do.
I live to learn their story
Who suffered for my sake;
To emulate their glory,
And follow in their wake;
Bards, patriots, martyrs, sages,
The heroic of all ages,
Whose deeds crowd History's pages,
And Time's great volume make.
I live to hold communion
With all that is divine,
To feel there is a union
'Twixt Nature's heart and mine;
To profit by affliction,
Reap truth from fields of fiction,
Grow wiser from conviction,
And fulfill God's grand design.
I live to hail that season
By gifted ones foretold,
When men shall live by reason,
And not alone by gold;
When man to man united,
And every wrong thing righted,
The whole world shall be lighted
As Eden was of old.
I live for those who love me,
For those who know me true,
For the Heaven that smiles above me,
And awaits my spirit too;
For the cause that lacks assistance,
For the wrong that needs resistance,
For the future in the distance,
And the good that I can do.

Not as big as they're GONNA get! Sometimes I feel almost shocky at how quickly time has passed and that I have two kids who are thirty-somethings with three more on their heels! Sigh. Anyway, your kids are still adorable, as are you (even pregnant). I hope life is sweet for you. Love, Sandra
You sure don't look like you are 7 months!

Have you picked out what name you're going to steal from me yet?
HA! (@ Scott). SOOOOOOOO cute!!!- I love those two schlubbers!
(Jane looks so sweet in that dress!)
What do you mean 7 months?
I thought we had more time...

@Scott
We don't really like "Scott" for a girl's name, so we thought we'd go with "W.M. Deru".
Love that fake smile. That will come in handy more than she knows it!
