Boo wearing Chickens hat…

too cute!

So untwisting them seems to be the hard part.

See the concentration that is needed for this delicate task.

Wow it takes a lot longer to untwist these then I thought it would.

Boo and Chicken

I have so much to do today… I need to make a huge dent in the packing but instead Boo and I are playing around with Photo Booth.   Don’t I look marvelous without makeup? Not!   Anyway you have to take time to enjoy the little things right? Now back to those obnoxious boxes!

I love both of my children or Chickens as I call them very much… My oldest  Mason is 3 and of course a boy…And when he was born he was the Sun and the Moon and I never wanted a girl. I just wanted boys because  I could not imagine loving a girl like I did my boy. He was SUCH a boy and that is all I knew.  So when we were trying for Chicken number 2.. I of course wanted a boy.  My husband Ben who did my beautiful site was adament he wanted a girl. I was not so crazy about the idea, girls were full of drama and high maintenance and well not boys, but I had this weird feeling it was going to be a girl anyway, and I was right.. I honestly could not of been more excited when we knew for sure it was going to be a girl it’s funny you always end up wanting what you get. I still could not imagine loving her as much as my Chicken Mason , but when she was finally here I could not love her anymore then I do.

I am not sure if it’s just because she is a girl or just because she is the baby or what but I love my little girl like nothing else. Yes her age is sweet she is 17 months old birthday November 9th, 2007 but we just have this connection. She is my little side kick  and such a girl.. we seem to have this special bond. She is on my lap right now as I type this turning my iPhone on and off, on and off. It does not take much to make her happy, but she is curious about everything right now and tries to copy whatever you do and whatever her older brother does. Her name is Kyra but we call her Chicken,  Kyboo and Boo Boo.. we all dote on her and Ben said last night she is just so hard to dicipline because she is So darn cute!

Which brings me to why in a part I have felt so touched by the loss of Maddie Spohr. Not only was she beautiful and full of life, but she was only two days younger then Kyboo her birthday is November 11th, 2007. That made it more personal somehow because I could not imagine losing my Kyboo. To think that when I was bringing my baby home all healthy and perfect at the same time Maddie was fighting for her life and Heather and Mike Spohr were having to visit their baby in the hospital.

So I can’t even begin to imagine what it must be like for Heather and Mike  Spohr right now. I know they have lots of attention right now from the whole internet community and I am so glad that Maddie has been so remembered and loved and that they have gotten so many donations to March of Dimes. But I hope that after time passes that people don’t forget about them. I hope they will continue to receive messages of hope and love for months and years to come. I hope they will never feel alone.. I for one will continue to rememeber Maddie Moo for the months and years to come and continue to pray and send love and encouragement to Heather and Mike Spohr for the years to come.  Because whenever I look at Kyboo I will remember Maddie….
