Winning is not about headlines and hardware [medals]. It's only about attitude. A winner is a person who goes out today and every day and attempts to be the best runner and best person they can be! Winning is about struggle and effort and optimism, and never, ever, ever giving up.

My Baby is Two!!!

Two birthdays in one week is emotionally draining....especially when one is your oldest who is now 6 and the other is your baby who is now 2!!! I cannot believe I am getting so old ;)! It is so odd to me to be celebrating his second birthday without a baby behind him! He completes our little family so wonderfully! Having four children 4 years and 3 days apart has proven to be challenging more often than not, but I wouldn't change it for the world. Marshall has been the icing on the cake but at the same time a great birth control!! He is learning so quickly...each day it is exciting to see him grow and develop in new ways, ways that continue to amaze me! He was able to grasp the whole potty training thing pretty quickly...we still have our accidents, but for the most part he is doing great!


He is definitely the goof ball and family clown! I can never stay mad at him for very long because he just looks at me and gives me one of his many faces and I start laughing. He is such a sweet boy, always eager and willing to help!! I love my little Martian, he is the perfect bookend to our family!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MARSHALL.....WE LOVE YOU!!!!!

Happy Birthday Marshall!!

I think Marshall makes a good ending, but an accident would be good to. ;)

I thought about him all day and even intended to call, but alas my old age got to me and it slipped out of my brain!

Love you Marshy Man!
