Over the last couple of days our family has had a few days that our special to us. June 12 was the 4th anniversary of Faith Emma’s death. Life with a 2 1/2 year old and 3 month old made it pretty difficult to stop and actually think about it, which is both sad and nice all at the same time. It was nice because I didn’t have to be too sad all day. That night after the girls went to bed, Randy and I lit a candle and said a little prayer for our daughter. I caught myself watching Felicity playing and I thought to myself, if we hadn’t lost Faith than we wouldn’t have Felicity or Michaela. And while that doesn’t make us miss her any less it does bring us a small amount of comfort. Faith, we love you and miss you very, very much!!!
The other big day was of course Father’s Day. We had a great day. The girls gave Randy a book called “Cinderella, The Love of a Daddy and His Princess” and a framed plaque that talks about a daddy’s love. We went to mass in the morning and after that we went to Lowe’s to let Randy pick out the present from me, a hedge trimmer!! Then we wet to lunch to celebrate. Once the girls went down for a nap we got to work on cleaning our office for our new shutters!
After almost 5 years of having no window coverings on her office window we decided to get some shutters on it. We were going to use our “economic stimulus check” to pay for them, but thanks to some stupid rule, we aren’t getting it until the 27th (don’t get me started on that whole thing)! Well, the shutters were installed today and they look fantastic! Here are the before and after pictures. The before picture is kind of bad because the window lets so much light into the office, but I think you can get the idea.
And finally the other big day in our house is today, June 16th. Today is our 7th wedding anniversary! We went to dinner to Oregano’s on Friday night and Grandma and Grandpa Post watched the girls. We had a nice time just the two of us! Tonight will be pretty low-key with the girls. Happy Anniversary Randy! I love you!!
