A "trying to be very busy" Saturday

I woke up early, well.... early for me. On a Saturday.

I hopped in the shower and got dressed. I got Jace up, wich woke the hubby. Jacey was excited to get dressed since she got lots of new clothes last night.

The three of us headed out to run some errands. We dropped the mustang off, hoping to get it sold soon. It feels silly to have 3 cars, and two motorcycles.

We had a couple exchanges to make, then went to order a frame for our new picture.

I got some weed barrier and bark to clean up the front yard. Lowe's still hadn't gotten in their whiskey barrels so they have to wait, and the flowers to put in them.

We got the suburban washed. We went to do more shopping. I got a new toy. It will surely make it's debut here soon.

We ate a cinnabon.

The boys went to a party. We went to let some people drive the mustang. We worked in the yard. We worked on JAcey's headboard and footboard.

I played with Jace.

In the end though it all boils down to the fact that 9 years ago my sweet Austin silently slipped away to Heaven.

Tomorrow, our Super Bowl Cake, will double as a birthday cake for a baby we never have had a chance to celebrate a birthday with.

We will try to pretend it's okay to celebrate any way. Really it is. We are lucky to have him. Lucky to have learned the lessons we learned. That life can be so so short, and can be taken without warning at anytime.

It's still hard to grasp that it's been nine years. When I sit down and think about him, it seems like yesterday. I can still tell the whole story perfectly.
