John Mayer - Heart of Life (Acoustic)

I loved this song when I first heard it and then it took on a whole new meaning to me.  The chorus is my favorite.  It rings very true!

Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
No, it won't all go the way it should
But I know the heart of life is good

Life's ups and downs

Over the past year I have been through so much.  I have learned a great deal about myself and others, some good, some not so good.  It is a process.  My husbands surgery this week, I am hoping is the last of our difficulties for a while and we will be able to truly enjoy our life as a new family.  I believe that it is all a learning process and we balance it all.  The good, the bad and the ugly.  

Through my grief of losing Lia, and learning what friendship truly is, I believe I am making changes for the better.  You just don't know what life will hand you.

More blooms

I have been going through old pictures of mine and found this one.  I love the crisp white against the yellow and green.  This was taken in Lambertville, NJ.  My husband went there for a long weekend after we were married, and then revisited in the spring.  Maybe I should be a florist!  Well, we have our garden outside, but it is mainly vegetables.  I am watching them all sprout under the grow light in our basement!  I love fresh garden vegetables to eat!

Stop and smell the flowers!

Baby Feet

I love baby feet!  They are just so cute.  I zerbert them and kiss them and tickle them.  Aside from the Mets bib in the  background I think this picture is perfect.  I am a Yankee fan, but my husband is a Mets fan.  We try to be fair.  I can't wait to watch those baby feet grow, but somehow I don't think teenage feet will be quite as cute!

Lia's Butterfly

A fellow blogger, Bree, who has also suffered a pregnancy loss makes these beautiful butterflies to honor other babies lost.  She is currently pregnant now so say some prayers for her!  I know that I will.  I know how difficult it is to be pregnant after a pregnancy loss.  The innocence and excitement of the pregnancy are taken from you because you think about all the things that could happen. 

Sesame Street: Andrea Bocelli's Lullabye To Elmo

     

I saw this the other day and it really made me laugh!  I think Andrea Bocelli has an amazing voice and Elmo is Elmo.  I just love it.  Anything that makes you smile!  I have worked with preschool kids and now that I have a newborn, I just keep thinking of all the different songs that we would sing.  It's fun, but I can't remember them all.
