Kids

Wow.... how time flys... I took Natalie to get her learners permit!!! I can hardly believe she is old enough to drive. I remember signing her up for kindergarten like it was yesterday! She can't drive... it's crazy...

I registered Sami for kindergarten this week and it was hard. I don't know if it's because she is my baby or because she's sick but it was hard. I didn't feel this way about Zach and Natalie hey I was excited... But, I feel like my kids are all leaving me. It's such a weird strange feeling to have these kids that are doing these "old" things.

But, I am grateful for this time in my life. I really enjoy being their mother and it's fun to watch them grow even though it's painful it's fun. I get excited thinking about what lies ahead for them. There are so many possibilities for them in this life that I wonder what they will become.

I was talking with the 2nd counselor in our bishopric and he said that Natalie is one of those people that will be somebody. Not necessarily a fame and fortune kind of somebody, but someone that will just be neat and wonderful and do good things and people will be blessed by her. It was so nice to hear, because I think that about her too! She's always amazed me and probably always will...

I guess this is why I feel a little sad about Sami... she is so special to me too and it is so so hard and painful to see her go through such a hard time....

UPDATE ON SAMI.... we got all the blood tests back and everything was normal but one blood test that was slightly elevated... nothing high enough to get excited over, but enough that it has sparked the Dr. to look for one more thing in her MRI... which is on the 19th of March.

Thanks to all of you whom have expressed concern for her!!
