Well here I am again after a long break! Shocking, right.
Grayson turned 4 over the summer and spent a week in NC all by himself for the very first time. I had faith that Grayson would make it the entire week but others didn't have the same faith. I swear he grew up while being gone that entire week. Don't get me wrong because Grayson is still Grayson!
Our baby Lacie turned 2 yesterday and it is hard to believe! Even Lacie still calls herself the baby mainly because she thinks that Billy and I will cave and give back the pacie. We cold turkeyed the paci but she still will ask for it about once a day. Lacie's hair is growing but it is still very blond.
I remember when Lacie was born two years ago and I was over the moon but then a friend texted me and said how glad she was that she wasn't born on September 11th. I never really thought it until she pointed it out but I am glad that we get to celebrate her birthday before the anniversary of such a sad day in history.
I am just like everyone and can you exactly where I was and what I doing when I saw news. I won't bore everyone with the story but I can tell you that Billy and I sat on the phone (sweet dating days) and watched the 2nd plane hit NYC in complete silence and shock. Working for a local police department back then makes you love and hug your loved ones a little bit more since that day.
While I am not a super overtly religious person, I do believe in God and I find comfort in him or her (sometimes I think both) on days like today. While we never understand the exact meaning at the time but there is a greater plan for all of us.
