Almost a year already

In five days it will be one year since Thelmas wreck. It does not seem like she has been gone a year already, yet it also seems like it was just yesterday. I wondered how we would all get by after she was gone, she was such an inspirational person to us all. Yet, here we are, a year later, and we are all surviving fine. We still miss her terribly, and always will. I still believe that dalton looks for her sometimes still. But life still goes on.
I worried about my daddy after she died, adn I still worry about daddy, always will, but he is dating the most wonderful woman. She loves him and has been there for him since the day Thelma died. They have been friends since before I was born, and that friendship has never failed. I am so grateful for her. My kids love her and she loves them, and of course I do too. She has always been like a second mama to me.
Dalton has made some amazing strides lately. He is walking more and more with his walker that EI provided for him. He is still not talking, but he is getting very vocal and making lots of new sounds. He has also started getting more mischevious lately. He is becoming such a little boy, getting into everything! He has just learned how to climb onto the couch and is trying to expand his options, lol.
Savannah will still tell you Memaw is in Heaven with Jesus and she isnt hurting anymore. That child has a gift that amazes me more and more each day. She is getting too smart for her own good, she will be 4 in Aug., but she acts like she is going on 14 instead of 4.

The last few weeks....

have been very busy. I know I haven't been on here in a while, but I am gonna try and get everyone caught up now.
We have went on our vacation, a long and tiring two weeks, but it was so much fun. We went to my cousins house and stayed with her, while we were there we went to Disney World, Sea World, Sanibel Island and me and James got to spend the weekend at the Daytona races. I am glad to be home, but I did love the drama free days down there.
Dalton and Savannah are doing good. They each are getting more attitude every day, Lord help me when they reach teenage years, lol.

There have been a few things going on the last few weeks. Damons birthday was on the 19th, and although it was a hard day to get through, as usual, I chose to celebrate the day instead of mourn it. It was a great decision for me, I had more fun on that day than I have in a long time and spent it with my kids and my mom.
I have also had a very close and dear friend to suffer a horrible loss. My heart breaks for her and her family daily, but she is an incredibly strong woman and they have an amazing faith in God, and I know they are going to be just fine. But her loss has taught me to value my kids more, and not take them for granted, and I will be forever grateful for that lesson.

I will come back later and post some pics of our vacation, but right now I am very tired and I am going to bed.
