Family is the most important thing




This week has been incredibly rough - my little brother Russell got very ill and it put life in perspective.  There are only a few things in life that matter, the Good Lord and family.  I watched my children in awe this week that even at their young ages they understand these priorities.  Brian took the sweetest video of them playing together.  You can see in Jackson's eyes how much he adores his sister and she likewise.  Addi was so cute this week - she walked around all week saying that Uncle Russ had "owies".  Even though Brian and I tried very hard not to disrupt them, they knew mommy and daddy were scared and they were such troopers.  As hard as life seems to get - I still wake up everyday realizing that I am the luckiest person on the planet.  I thank God for healing Russell and I thank him for blessing me with the best family a girl could ask for.
