Change

Change.  Oh, the dreaded word.  I'm so not good with it.  There is something about change that just makes me nervous and rattles the inner core of my being.  Whether its something silly like rearranging the furniture or a life changing event.  But as time goes on, I always adjust.  I gather my thoughts, put them in order, and move on.  And life goes on just the same.  Not wavering one way or the other.  Life has a funny way of doing that.

I wish I was a better example to my kids in this area.  But instead, they teach me.  Madison and Austin show me that everything will be ok.  They just live, and they live with joy.

I remember the first time Madison and Austin saw Kamdyn.  They walked in the room with smiles, anticipating the sight of this little soul that we had talked about for nine months.  They slowly approached her with mouths hanging open, like they were seeing a miracle.  And they were.

They didn't care that their lives were about to change.  That this little one would require Mommy and Daddy's time, or that they would be sharing their house with people coming in to do therapy.  Instead they beam with pride over their baby sister, and they greet those therapists like honored guests.  They are great that way.

No matter what life-changing or not so life-changing things happen, we'll just go on living and loving and doing dinosaur hunts and whatever else strikes our fancy.
