First movie theater

Today oliver went with Nana and Grandpa Raz to see Despicable Me 2. His first time at a movie theater! They said he was perfectly well behaved and quiet. He even giggled a few times at the movie!

CUTEST BIG BROTHER EVER

I just walked in on Oliver whispering to Alice about how we are about to go to the park, how fun the park is, and how "mommy , Daddy, Oliver, and Alice are all going together now." I almost cried!

First Bath!

Alice just got her first bath! She smells yummy. Thanks to everyone that got her awesome natural soaps and lotions at the baby shower!

Bliss!

Ive been super blissful over the last few days. If I wasnt me I would envy me! My body is amazing. My husband Adam Morrice, best friends Can-dance Smith and Boo Parent are amazing. My son and daughter are beautiful and amazing. My parents Michelle Taress (who jas been super amazingly taking care of us)and Ron Lopack are so good to me. My midwife Stephanie Soderblom LM and her assistant Jetta Anderson were SUPER amazing for me at my birth and prior to it. Im surrounded my other friends and roommates that have offered to do things for me and go places for me just to make my life easier. (Marky, Allen, Kristen, Patrick) I am so lucky. I am so grateful for all of the people in my life. Thank you all for allowing me to be brilliant during such an amazing chapter in my life. You are all invaluable and I thank you all!

"No mommy! I dont want the mickey one I want the beatles (shirt). I love the beatles and also I need a dinosaur to come play outside with me" ...and mommy cried tears of pure pride.

Grateful

I woke up feeling very grateful today. I woke up thinking about how easy my life is. I woke up knowing that everything horrible that happened to me as a child was only so that I could appreciate today. You have to be surrounded in darkness to learn to surround yourself with light. Since so much happened TO me I was able to control what I've made happen for me since. I've owned a house since I was 22. I had been around the world by 20. I'm 27 and am having the perfect set of children, a boy and a girl, with the most perfect partner ever. We support each other and never fight. We encourage each other and never point fingers. He is the best daddy to our children that could ever be possible. I'm lucky that when bad things happened to me my mind was inherently strong enough to overcome and not get permanently bogged down. I've never had a dangerous addiction or felt the sting of extreme poverty or homelessness because my parents never let me. My parents took care of me physically, mentally, and emotionally just the way it needed to be.. I'm intelligent and self reliant. I'm a winner! So I am grateful that this is an easy life where I decide what happens. And I'm grateful to all of you that have been able to share my humble piece of the universe. Thank you.

Oliver loves you!
