April has arrived

So it has arrived-the month of April and there's really not much I or any of my family members can do about it.  We're all dreading it.  This month is an incredibly difficult month and the events continue to last through June. Not only do we have to suffer through 4/7, April is also the month of my Mother's birthday (she'd be a young 52 this year-gosh that frustrates me. Couldn't she at least been 60?), and Justin's birthday. May is Mother's Day (thankfully, I'm a Mother this year AND we're getting Elle baptized that day AND our 6 year anniversary) then on to June......Father's Day and my Dad's birthday.  I just feel this is a never ending cycle of days/events/celebrations that we have to "get through". 

I don't want life to fly by any faster then it already has but that is how I feel right now, I do want these next three months to fly by. I don't know why, it doesn't change anything.   I guess what I dread the most is feeling the way I did the week of 4/7 as I did last year. It was an unexplainable feeling. A feeling of numbness. I was pretending I was okay and that "I''d get through this" its easy to think that when your surrounded by 800 people. 

But to my brighten my day, I took out Elle's hat box (all made by Aunt Lisa) and took some pics.

I wish my Mom was here to see these! Oh, how she'd love her! She would be showing her off to all of her many, many friends.....
