~~Yesterday I just felt so tired. I really think it was more of an emotional tired than anything else. By afternoon I felt completely wiped out. Dustin took the girls to the nursing home to visit his Grandma and to give me a little quiet time. He's always so good at knowing what I need. My first thought was to take a nap but I suddenly found myself cleaning. I sorted through the girl's toys and art supplies, throwing out things that were old or broken. I did dishes and folded laundry. I wiped mirrors and organized papers. And somehow the cleaning and sorting calmed my heart and mind. I had been praying about my Nana and some other issues, but it was when I busied my hands that I finally felt my heart let go of the worry. When Dustin came home he was surprised. He said, "The house looks nice but I thought I told you to rest." I just smiled because I felt very rested.
~~On a different note I wanted to thank you all for the sweet comments and emails you've given me lately. I haven't been very good at responding but I appreciate every one. There are some new people stopping by and I just wanted to say "Thanks and Hello!"
~~I feel very calm today. I've been working on a new painting. I'd love to get this one done pretty quickly.
~~I thought I'd share a picture of my littlest one. She's going to turn three next month and I'm just not ready to let go of the baby stage. She's my constant little companion and she really brings so much joy. Savannah is honestly one of the most caring little girls that I've ever known. Every day, throughout the day, she will come up to me, give me a big hug and kiss and say, "Mommy, you my best fwiend!" Aaaaaah. She melts my heart!

I'm sorry to hear about your grandmother. Mine has finally gotten a bit better and is now in an apartment complex for seniors.
Your daughter is so cute! LOL that is something you will remember forever, especially when she is 16 and rebelling like crazy!
What's up on the easel these days?
Kasie, i am sorry to hear about your grandmother. A lady who was not my grandmother by family but was basically the only grandmother i had growing up died on sunday night. She was very old and had been sick a long time so it wasnt unexpected but it still affects you badly. I too have found myself cleaning, isnt it strange.

..."By her choice she won't go to a doctor..."
Sometimes those choices others don't understand and it can cause worry. My mother made the same choice as she battled cancer for a whole year. I did A LOT of praying and I found myself comforted so many times in the fact she was able to entrust her life to the Lord. The faith that was pouring out from her heart at that time, God used in my own life to heal and strengthen me! He can always bring that peace in the midst of our storms!! I'll be praying for you all Kasie and may the Lords peace guide you thru this ordeal one day at a time!
You mentioned the rest that came with cleaning, I get that too! :)
Kasie, I'm thinking of you. Hard to loose someone close. We are never truly prepared. Hugs and prayers.
I'm so sorry about your Nana! It is hard to see someone you love not doing well, especially when you don't know what is wrong them.
Savannah is such a doll! I'm so not ready for Lance to grow up either :)
I hope your grandmother is doing better. I just wanted to say this is one of the happiest pictures I've seen! Just looking at it makes me smile and feel full of energy. :D
