Journaling Reads:
Tristan, you have always been a very cool kid. I knew from an early age that you had a great intelligence deep down inside that was going to come out, bubble over and surprise anyone who didn't truly know you. Of course anyone who knew you and took the time to really listen to what you had to say knew without a doubt that you were like no other. You said such amazing and profound things. There were people who would have loved to see you on Bill Cosby's "Kids say the Darndest Things". You did though (say the darndest things). Like the one time that Casey was talking about trampolines. She said "Why would a person need to get a trampoline when they could just jump on their friends?" Without skipping a beat (you were about 4 1/2 years old) you said "haaa, Jump on their friends", you said it with this "That's the silliest thing I've ever heard" tone. You've always looked at things in a way most don't think of. You're a creative "out of the box" type of thinker. Now, here you are, turning 8 in exactly 1 month. WOW. You bring home amazing report cards. You're always reading. You definitely have that "Hill sense of Humor" (you crack mama up). And when something really tickles you, you have this belly laugh where you grab your stomach and just giggle so hard. You're writing books! "Star Attack and the Peanut Force" and others. When I think about how fast you've grown I'm sad for just a minute. Then I think about what a cool kid you are and how much you enrich my life. I wouldn't turn back time for anything.
Casey, my first born baby. It seems just like jesterday that they were wheeling me past you in your incubator right after I had you. They stopped me next to you just long enough for me to say "Wow, she's beautiful". That was the beginning of my love affair with my sweet girl. You were such a calm little girl (except for those 2's . . . and 3's, you might have been a handful during those years). But really, you were precious and people were continuously shocked by how smart you were. Holding adult conversations by the time you were 2. I remember a time when I had you laying on the floor while I was changing your diaper. I grabbed your little legs and playfully pulled you toward me. I said "Is Mama funny?" and very sweetly you said, "Actually, that hurt my bum". I couldn't have asked for a better baby. And Casey, you continue to astound me with your compassion, your ability to interact with others, your resilience and your understanding of worldly matters (Ican explain anything to you like I would explain it to an adult, and you understand, always have) and you continue to bring home outstanding report cards any mother would be thrilled with. You're 11 now, just about 12. You're going into Middle School next year . . . my gosh, where's my baby? You are a wonderful All-American young lady. It brings tears to my eyes just thinking about it. I don't think they're tears of sadness . . . maybe just a little . . . but mostly, they're tears of pride, happiness and hope for all of the things that lay ahead of you.
Casey and Tristan, you are BEAUTIFUL, SMART and just all around awesome kids. You make me proud every day and you always will, no matter what.
Love Mama
