My Joy In Life

It’s a good thing I’ve got Autumn around to keep me young and active.  If it weren’t for her, I would just come home after work everyday and crash on the couch and watch TV until bedtime.  But, w/ Autumn around she keeps me on my toes.  Every evening when we get home we eat dinner and then she wants to go on a walk to see the baby ducks.  She runs while I speed walk to keep up w/ her.  She’s a fast little runner.

Look at that cute little face!  I’m so lucky that I get to be her Mom and that she’s in my life every single day.  There are times when I get frustrated and feel tired from working full time and being a single mom, but this little smile of hers makes it ALL WORTH IT, and I wouldn’t trade it for the whole world.  Jason has NO IDEA what he is missing out on.

This girl does NOT hold still…not even for one second (unless she is asleep).  She’s turned into quite the little monkey and is always climbing on me, park benches, the couch, etc.  She is in constant motion and it wears me out just watching her.  I can’t believe how big she is getting, either.  She’s only 2 1/2 and she’s already wears clothes that fit most 4 year olds.  She’s going to be big and strong and tall like me.  I just wish I had her beautiful brown skin.  She’s going to get so dark this summer.
