Happy Birthday Anita
My little girl is one year old today! It is amazing to think that it's been a whole year since that long day last fall. It has been one of the most amazing years of my life. She is teaching me so much about myself that I didn't know before, from how patient I am and testing those patience (lol) to showing how much I am actually capable of loving.
I've watched her lay as a newborn a year ago staring into space, not actually able to see anything but shadows til now when this little lady's face lights up and she jumps for joy when I get home from work!
Then she runs from her toys to her books to show me what she has today. Even though I've seen these toys and books a hundred times, because I tell her how great they are and appreciate her showing me, she continues to do that.
One night when she was laying on the floor on her back I was tickling her and she reached up and grabbed both my cheeks and pulled my face down to give me a kiss. Her kisses usually consist of slobbers and the occasional runny nose, but I wouldn't change that for the world. I'll take those kisses no matter how they come! This little girl is a reader! She will empty the entire bookcase of about 50 books and then sit in the middle of them and look through each one, then toss it over her shoulder to get to the next one!
She is especially snuggly when she just wakes up! I will go in to pick her up and she will be standing in her bed holding her diaper up to me, when I take it and put it on my shoulder she will reach up to be picked up and then lay her head on my shoulder and just rest for awhile. She likes to snuggle in close in the morning with Kate.
She also likes to stick her tongue out and blow when she's done eating! I've gotten a carrot shower and an apple sauce shower a few times out of that one! She likes hot dogs for dinner and stuffs them all in her mouth as fast as she can then sits and chews a mouthful like she is getting ready to battle for food with Rowan or something. This little lady of mine is all smiles all the time, although recently she has learned how to fake cry, and when she doesn't get what she wants she will try to fake cry us into giving it to us. It is a beautiful sight actually, it seems to me that she is such a happy girl that she can't really even fake cry without looking like she is hiding a smile. She is an example of what we should all be when it comes to being happy with what we have. She knows no different from what she has and she can get so excited she can't stand it over simple things as her book that she ripped the cover off of or the stuffed animal that she pulls in for a death grip hug when she sees it. This little lady of mine is the most incredible creature in the world to me. Kate and I thought our lives were complete before her, but oh were we wrong. She brings great joy to the lives of all of us in our big extended family. When she sees her Pop-pop or Grandmomma she really just jumps and runs. I like to think that they have a tough job ahead of them because they have to love for two grandparents and what a great job they are doing at it. Anita's Granddad would have a grin from ear to ear and spoil this little girl everytime he saw her. She is missing out on a great part of her life and it's no fault of her own. But the grandparents she has are working overtime to make up that difference and this little girl is reaping the rewards of two over-the-top grandparents in every way. Happy Birthday my little angel baby.

The best days
Yesterday I spent afternoon with my little girl and we had a ball shopping and going to Chick-fil-a for lunch. She needed a date with daddy after a hectic week with a new baby. I have to say, this has been the best year of my life. So as living proof, when things are not going your way and the future seems unsure,,,, keep your faith on God and things will not only get better they will turn into the best days of your life.
If you are praying for the best,,,,, don't settle for anything less.

I'm just not good enough for them... Get over yourself !!
So you know how in every group there is the system of rejects to royalty?? Well it's there like it or not. I got something to say to that. First of all a recent conversation got me thinking. I have two different avenues of thought on this. First, the ones thought of as elite or better than the rest most times only get that label from the ones who feel low by their own choosing and assume the others put themselves at the top of the ladder, when in fact if you took the time to talk to them you'd find out they are more humble than you. Second when it comes to the jerk type of popular elites, as you may see them......

My little buddy!
About 12 hours ago, I witnessed God's miracle of child birth for the second time and it was more amazing than the first. We are excited beyond words with our new baby boy, Rowan Harold Myers. 8 1/2 lbs. 22" long born at 10:25 a.m. Nov. 15, 2010. After 4 girls in the family, he is the first little guy. We are crazy excited about that. God fulfilled his promises to never leave us this morning, He was there the entire time to comfort and give us the strength when ours ran out. What a mighty God we serve. Man, how the devil likes to put fear in our minds and suggest all kinds of things, but God the creator or our being is in control and ultimately wins.

Fb or blog?
This post is intended to be an informative piece on the differences between facebook and blogs.
Facebook, "fb", is a social networking tool for meeting new peop le, keeping in contact with old friends and just generally learning a lot of information about people you would normally never talk to and some if not most of that information you'd be better off not knowing or could have lived your life just fine with out knowing. At the height my facebookism I had well over 200 "friends" and really did not care what more than half of them had to say.I'm now down to around 25 friends and only a few of the close to 200 that I unfriended requested the friend back. On fb you are allowed to write whatever you wish and with no moderation.

My sweet child
Once again I find myself at the end of the day sitting in my rocking chair holding my angel as she sleeps! My baby Katie is sitting here watching "Letters to Juliet" while she has peace and quiet.
Anita just started to snore a little bit. It's crazy beautiful to hear that little baby snore as she sleeps. I will be hunting tomorrow so I want to get all the family time in tonight i can.
I will postpone my bedtime from 9 until 10 just squeezing a little more time in. I love my ladies. I couldn't imagine loving someone as much as I loved Kate, but then Anita came along and BAM I have a baby that melts me and no matter what this little rascal does, it's a beautiful thing. From being a complete wild indian full of energy to laying on my lap as she does now,,, she's my angel. As I've told Katie, if I ever came home from work and the house did not look like a tornado hit, i would wonder what was the matter with Anita!!! She loves her books and they cover half the living room when they are all out! What a beautiful sight!!
With a new baby only a month, or weeks or....... days away, I'm preparing to be blown away again!! I've heard that your second baby is the one that really makes it all sink in and be real!!! I'm waiting and ready!!
Time to carry this little baby up to her bed. Good night for now>
