My Best Girl



If you've been reading this blog, you've probably noticed that everything I write is about my son. Not this one. This one is about my girl. My best girl to be exact. Except she's not anymore - now she's someone elses.

It breaks my heart, but Mia now belongs to someone else. For reasons we just won't get into, I've decided it was time to let her go. Let someone else love her. Someone who has more time. There will never be another Mia. Never. I love this horse in a way I'm not sure it's normal to love an animal. Because of what she was when I got her. Because of what she has become. Because of what I taught her and what she taught me. Because of how she took care of me (and Cade) the whole time I was pregnant. You think I'm crazy - but she knew. She knew she had to be good and gentle and safe and dependable. And she was. I NEVER doubted her.

This is the best thing for her and me right now - no matter how much it hurts. She will always me "Mine" - that's why I named her "Mia". Here's to my BEAUTIFUL girl...

Swimming

So people keep commenting on the fact that I haven't been very good about updating the blog. I completely agree and I apologize. My only excuse is that my spare time is a little lacking - what with a full time job, a 3 month old, a weekend gig, a husband that travels etc. etc.

Do you feel sorry for me yet???

So on labor day weekend Steve went hunting and my friend Shanon graciously let us come use her pool and hang out. It was Cade's first time in something more than a bath. I had this grand illusion that he would squeal with joy over his first swim, but as you can see, my laid back little baby was not all that impressed. Either way, I had a great time.
