Why, you ask, do I write this status?

One day it will show up in my memory feed, and it will be a yearly reminder that life is precious and not to take the things we dearly love for granted.

We have so much!
Be thankful. Be grateful.
Be kind to each other - love one another - support everyone.

We are all one! ❤️

Perfect pitch

We just found out that our kids may have perfect pitch.
Here is what happened:

We have so much time on hand that Sam decided to bring out his guitar that's been collecting dust. I still remember him playing the song he wrote for me at our wedding ❤️

Anyway, Sam was showing the kids how to play guitar tonight and then basically dragged me out of the shower with the exciting statement "Sharon, you need to come to see right now! Our children have a crazy music talent!... You have to come right now!" I wrapped myself in a towel and came out... because of what a good wife would do 🤣 He later proceeded to call our boys "Music Monsters" and is excited that maybe he can start picking back up his guitar with the boys teaching him chords. Yes they were teaching him 🤣



Perfect Pitch

Half birthday

Winona has been growing up right before our eyes. From not noticing anybody to smiling at everybody, from not able to move much to be able to sit with support, from eating only breast milk to bow eating some solids, the past 6 months has been a wonder. I finally understood what it means to live through the wonder again through you.

Our boys wanted to celebrate so I made a carrot cake. They were shocked to know that Winona actually don't get to eat any cake. She will be able to in 6 more months.

Baby rolls

It's impressive how much rolls Winona has. This pictures says it all 🥰
