New Beginnings...

My SIL gave birth to my beautiful baby niece on Friday.  Meet Ava!




Both mama and baby are doing well.


There's a lot of drama going on in our family.  Well, my married into family.  John & I are the stable, calm ones -- if you can believe it.  However, because of this, we are also the ones being put in the middle.

It breaks my heart.  There's so much tension, judgment, and anger between my MIL and my SIL and her husband.  I just want to scream at them to stop this, that life is too short, that you never know what may happen.  I want us all to get along, to enjoy each other's company.  

To feel like a family.

I want my kids to grow up knowing what's it like to be close with family.  They have little family on my side, and lots of family on their dad's side.  But this vendetta, this need to constantly bicker, must end.

The children end up suffering.  The amazing, beautiful, precious beings we love so much.

Let it go.

  1. Congrats on the new sweet niece. She's adorable! And sorry about the drama. I can't handle other people's drama right now, I've got too much of my own shit to deal with. Whatever it is isn't worth missing out on a second of that beautiful baby's life.
