The love that Brandon has for his Sister

Brandon loves his sister so much and it shows he gives he kisses all the time and last night when I was giving Haleigh a bath Brandon was standing there and normally he does not ever take a bath with her but I put him in the tub with her last night and he looked at her and gave her a kiss right on her forehead I love these moments. This morning Haleigh was playing on a blanket on the floor all by herself and Brandon sat down and played with her. She fell backwards while they were playing and he said to her are you o..k. and he tried to pick her up all by himself. They do have thier moments when he taked every toy she is playing with even if it is hers he say's mine. He is a good big brother to her and I know that there will be little fights over toys as she gets bigger but I always will have these memories of the two of them.

Well let me see where do I start I just want to take a moment and thank all of my friends that have been there for me and my family over these past ten months. There have been so many changes that have taken place some happy and some sad. Marly thanks for being there and coming up to the hosptial every day to spend some time with me and Haleigh it meant so much. Those day's were hard for me b/c I missed my mom so much and just knowing that she would of been there every moment she could have, but you help fill that void for me. You are and always will be my best friend we have been through alot together and I love you with my whole heart and soul, you are like my sister. My father has grown to be a wonderful father I had a good relationship with him but living with my parents again during the time my mom was sick helped bring us closer b/c I helped him with taking care of my mom during those last few weeks. I think that God had a plan and that was part of it. Last but not least my sister I cherish every phone call and every visit , I think that we all have realized a few lesson's in life since Mom got sick again one year ago today it has brought us closer and I am very happy about that. I will be glad when I can see my mom's face again but she knows Iam not ready any time soon, my work here on earth is not done yet. But when it is I will not be afraid because I will be in Heaven with my momma and all of those other friends and family that have gone home before all of us. Sorry to get all mushy here but Iam fine it is hard looking back and just knowing that a year ago life as we all knew it was changing and I miss my mom so much at certin times. I thought that the holiday's were going to be a little bit easier since in reality we have had our first Christmas without her but I see this one being harder for all of us. Because last year not knowing what was lying ahead of us we all had bought Mom gifts and this year there will be no gifts to buy. I want to do a little something special for my Dad in memory of my mom but I need ideas if you have any that you would like to share let me know.

Well things are going great we only have a few weeks until we are moving and I can't wait to be settled again. I am at the mid-term already it is hard to believe that as well. For those of you that know me real well won't be shocked when I say this that pretty much all of my christmas shopping is done I only have a few people left and I will be finished with in the next few weeks and than the fun begins. I love shopping for the gifts for others but I hate the wrappign portion of it. Well I will be putting up the tree when we move b/c I love christmas and the Holiday season. I hope and pray that this Christmas won't be to hard on me and my family. My mom loved Christmas so much and since we have already had our first Christmas with out her so to speak I hope that this one is a little eaiser.

Haleigh is sitting up all on her own 99% of the time and she is starting to talk. She is growing like a weed and as for Brandon he is going through the TERRIBLE TWO'S. But he is still an angel at times. I love my babies so much and it is hard to believe that Brandon is 2 1/2 and Haleigh is 8mths old already where does the time go.
