Today we went to my parents' for our weekly visit. This weekend my brother was there. The last few times he hasn't been able to hold Delilah- although he has been able to get smiles out of her. Today he tried holding her & she reached back to me pretty much right away. Later after we were in the living room me on the floor playing with her, Roger in the chair, he tried holding her again. This time she let him! And he carried her in to the kitchen for lunch time. After she was fed he held her some more & I got a few pics.

I guess 2nd chances aren't for everyone. A branch was extended to talk & refused. We tried & that's all we can do. Even if we didn't want to we knew it was right. But we can't try with what's not there. I guess it's ok to say the things that were said & to act the way they acted. We're the ones that are wrong apparently... we're the ones who were disrespectful & disowning. And we need to get over it... yea- ok.

First... those pics of D and her Uncle are too cute!

I'm so sorry to hear about the decline. You know what, it is 100% their loss. They are missing out on a relationship with an amazing son, beautiful daughter-in-law, and wonderful granddaughter. There are so many people in your lives that love you for YOU.

You & John did the right thing to try. At least you know you did what was right in your heart.

I love you all (((hugs)))

Ahhhh, how sweet, Uncle Roger and Delilah.
I agree, you did do the right thing by reaching out. I am a little surprised that they didn't take the offer, though. The thought of not getting to see Delilah at least once a week makes me very sad. I can't imagine not seeing her for months on end.
Love you all!!!

Aww Delilah is getting so big. She is so so cute. You and Jon make one cute little girl. Sorry to hear about the decline. At least you and Jon know that you tired. Its really their lost anyways. You and Jon did the right thing to at least try. I know i will not even try with my future mother-in-law. When you see Ashley again make sure to give her a big hug for me and a smack on the butt for me. LOL.

They seriously declined? You've got to be fucking kidding me, excuse my language. It looks like they would push the hard feelings aside for the opportunity to see their beautiful little granddaughter! I am in awe they declined, that's pretty sorry if you ask me..but it's none of my business! I agree 100% with what Ashley said, their loss!

Gosh I suck

I really was going to try to keep up with whole blogging thing but I've totally been sucking. I just have no ambition. Both of the girls are doing great. Delilah just finished preschool today. We had a rough start but it got better. And then she went back to the crying beforehand and giving John issues. She was very happy to learn today was her last day and promptly requested she go to a new preschool. Which she will be in September. Agap.eland! I am so excited for her to begin there. I think (hope) she'll like it a lot more and she'll learn lots of new things. I just hope we don't have the same issues with the new place as we did with the old place. Tatum is growing in leaps and bounds. Recently she's been trying to blow bubbles with the bubble toy grammy got her. It's so adorable as she dip the wand in the spill-proof container (gotta love those), pulls it out and attempts to blow bubbles. She actually did blow bubbles today but of course I missed it becau...

Almost a month since I last blogged- where does the time go? What to write about? I have no idea. Basically things are pretty boring. We've just been doing what John does while I work... going to Target for our weekly Target visit, going to the marina when it's nice, visiting John's parents. We've also visited Ash & the boys for some play dates. Other than that it's been low key which is nice since I only get three months with Tatum. Don't get me wrong I know I'm lucky to have the time I do with Tatum but I just wish I could have six months with her. My mom has since stopped coming during the weekends as I can lift Delilah again. It's not too bad actually- I was worried about it but I'm surviving. I've even been able to get them places by myself. Usually just to visit John at work or for our weekly Sunday visit to my parents. Last Saturday I did make a trip to this place called Wendt's Pork Palace (they have yummy wing dings) with Ashley ...
