I was talking w/ my 4 year old boy cousin this weekend while I was picking blackberries w/ Simon in his sling. Here's our conversation...
Jeffrey (cousin): Can Simon have a blackberry?
Me: No, he only drinks milk.
Jeffrey: Can I go get him some milk?
Me: No - he drinks special milk that I have.
Jeffrey: Where do you get it?
Me: (Thinking, uh oh, how do I explain breastfeeding to a formula fed 4 year old?) I make it.
Jeffrey: I didn't know you had a cow! Where is your cow?
Me: (Uh oh.) I don't have a cow. (Moo!)
Jeffrey: Where do you get the milk then?
Me: (Let's change the subject...) Did you see the pretty flowers around here? Aren't they pretty!
I am just your average Catholic gal, but becoming a mother and a cancer patient has changed me beyond belief. I owe it all to my wonderful family: husband, son, and daughter! Here you will read my ravings, rantings, and rationalizations. I am quite wordy and nerdy. Simon and Rachel tell me many things, but most of all they remind me... I need to remember my purpose for life - living, loving, and being as God has planned for me!

Smiling already at 2 weeks

Rachel has been smiling as a response to other people since day one.
And two shall become one...
In 2006, Andrew & I became one before God and family! Shortly thereafter we became 3 with the birth of Simon in 2008... Then 4 with the addition of Rachel in 2009!
