A delicate balancing act

Sorry it's been so long...so much has happened with the world and our family this last month, and I've gone over and over in my mind what I wanted to say in the blog, but for now I'll just keep most of it to my self (See - I am growing - I have learned to keep my mouth shut!). So much of what's been going on has bothered me, and I have been grateful that Chris and I have been able to have some really good discussions.

I will post some stuff of the girls...still sounds weird to say that:-) Here's one from last night. I was giving Abby a bath and Chris was sitting in Libby's room reading her a story. Abby got done with bath and wanted to read the story too. This picture was a sweet and calm moment that made me think two things...

That life has it's sweet moments and we should capture them and hold them in our heart to get us through the rough times...and having a 2 1/2 year old has given me some rough times lately
Chris Ricker is THE BEST dad on earth! He really is, and both girls are so blessed to have him as their dad. I love him so much and I rely on him to keep me sane and functional.

With all the craziness in the world, I am so grateful for my family. Libby has truly made us feel like a family - we aren't just playing house anymore!!

Theodore Roosevelt 1910

"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
