The Week Before

I'm sorry for the title, but that's just what it is.

The.Week.Before.

Our last carefree week before our world was ROCKED.

What I am about to tell you is NO lie...

the Thursday before the accident, I was driving

down Old Temple Road with my kids in the car.

I can remember this SO VIVIDLY.

I had just passed over Sun Valley Drive.

I can't remember where I was going, but

I remember I had a smile on my face.

I SO CLEARLY remember thinking

"Wonder what it's like for people who can't

drive around with a smile on their face?"

I was at total peace, total joy, total contentment.

It's crazy...because I remember really thinking

that through and feeling so sorry for

people who can't drive around smiling. ha!

Who knew that within three days of that

very moment, I'd be on the same street

crossing over Sun Valley knowing EXACTLY

what it's like to NOT be able to drive

around with a smile?

In fact at that moment and the many subsequent

drives over that street to and from the hospital

all I knew was tears...more than I had

ever shed in my entire life.

Carrie and her girls came to visit from Lousiana

that week! We had such a fun time as ALWAYS

hanging out with these beauties!!!Logan & Walker always hit it off like they haven't missed a beat! :)

Look at those two in this picture! So cute! I sure hope Kate Kate wasn't seeing that! ;)

Kelli & I always love when Carrie visits. You just couldn't know a better person than Carrie! Thankfully, Carrie was still here when the accident happened and she was so kind to my family and me.

Two gorgeous TWINS' mommies!

It was also Carrie's first time to meet Hudson! I think Carrie needs her a little baby boy! ;)

I don't really make the Princess Pie take a nap anymore. Her little body lets her know when she needs one though...and she usually just crashes right then and there!

Tan little thing!!!

Walker is always proud to show Hudson off to his friends. It's really cute. When Hudson is at Walker's school, all the little kids come up and say "Hi Hudson!" They all already know him. Walker is a proud big bro at home & at school!LOOK what Karen found for BABY LOVE!!!..........such a special treat! :)

Saturday morning in bed with my boys..........Auntie Kimberly Mo...don't you love his little pj's?!? They were my favorite! Thank you! Meeting his new buddy Witten (my dear high school friend Brooke's baby boy)...such a cutie!Hudson loves his baby bed! Boo hoo...the cradle days were really over! :(God love his little heart!Hudson is a fun little guy!

Daddy says Hudson is the happiest little person he's ever met. I agree!I think Walker agrees, too! ;)The Week Before was a GREAT week! Thankfully I do smile sometimes when I'm driving around again. It's not the same smile quite yet, but I have a feeling that some day my smile is going to be 100% back...BETTER than EVER. Thank you, Sweet Jesus, for smiles and miracles!!! :))))))))
