Perspective

1. I've been AWOL from the blog because we moved and haven't had internet. It's like we're living in 1987. Our house has all white walls, we've had no on demand or DVR, and no internet. I did watch Pretty in Pink just to add to the vibe. Just kidding. But I should have.

2. I read this post today of this sweet lady whose story is profound. http://jodyferlaak.blogspot.com/2011/03/she-got-her-wish.html A FABULOUS reminder of how we should love our children. I can smell my babies anytime I want, so who cares what city we live in. So thankful to the Lord for today, and what it holds, and realized I sure need to worry less about the future, and what IT holds

3. Today I came across a post my sweet cousin by marriage wrote about me. http://lucystudek17.blogspot.com/2011/03/things-i-like-about-heidi.html Obviously she doesn't know what a mess I am-but how sweet. :) Thanks, Lucy, for making my day! :)

4. We came to Michigan for an eye appt. for Kaiya-it was kind of a bummer of an appt. Her vision is deterioriating in her left eye and has gone from being equal with the right, to 50% worse. She needs glasses. Which will be cute-if we can figure out how in the world to keep them on her. But-the sweet dr. who was there at the very beginning in the hospital, read over her hospital report in her file and said: "let's just keep this in persepective, if I read this list of things that happened to her and had to make a clinical guess on the outcome, I would not have guessed she would be sitting here at all." This makes any continuing eye problems very inconsequential. We were certainly so blessed.

5. Funny how your perspective can change. It's warm here, but this temp in Florida would be reason for sweaters and jackets. Perspective is intriguing. And changing. And a wonderful gift.

The turbo internet is all hooked up back at the ranch we call our new home so get ready for some real exciting updates. Things about Deodorant, and go-carts, and birthdays. And if you want to pray for my ride home on two airplanes with a 1, 2, and 3 year old I would welcome that, too. Certainly there will be a post detailing my plight. Or my opportunity. I'll keep you updated on my perspective on THAT.

I think this is my most favorite post of yours ever. You looked beautiful on Thursday, and it was so good to see you. I'm glad you got to come back for a bit. Please know that Michigan misses you as much as you miss it.

Oh, Heidi, I love love love reading your blog for so many reasons--and the fact that you always seem to write about something that I needed to hear is one of them. Thanks for the reminder to have perspective and to be thankful for my babies everyday, even when it can get difficult. I read the blog you linked to and had tears in my eyes. Such a great reminder to live in the moment and try to enjoy everything we are blessed with. (And your cousin's post about you was SO cute!!)

I've been a terrible blogger this winter, but you have way better excuses than I do. Glad you and your sense of humor and perspective are back in the blog world. So thankful for the recovery of your sweet Kaiya and I know she'll be cute in glasses. Hope your flight home wasn't too bad too!
