A person is a person no matter how small

Glad to see I have some company! 

I'm constantly having to ask strangers to reach things for me :(  Or do this..

I hate it when people question my relationship to my teen. And then dare to ask how old I was when I had him!

Dane taught me a trick... lift the toddler up on the counter to reach stuff for you :)

Capri's often times are full length

Ha.. She's got a whole inch and a half more world than I. 

Friends in high school always wanted to see if I fit... .yes I did

I hate walking with others...

EEERRRR!!!!

I've always been the benchmark in the family. "Whoo hoo, I'm taller than Brandy!" This has been all my nieces and nephews goals, and now that they've all grown to heights and considerably passed my own 4'11.5". My own children are but months away from looking down on me.
Maddy at her 12 year check up measured 4'11", she was of course excited to be reaching that family benchmark, but then later was disappointed to hear from her doctor that she would be small like me. All day I spent cheering her up and reassuring her that she would not be super short like me, but would at least grow a few more inches.

Sporting new boots!

Thanks to my daughter's growth spurt (she went from a size 5 to 7.5) I am sporting her 6 month old boots! They're a little big, but maybe I'll grow into them LOL!

Blogging World

Google analytics gives me much insight as to my readers. Time spent, pages views, bounce rates, OS, new vs old users. 

Understandably my blog is viewed daily in towns like Milwaukie and Spring Valley.

But it intrigues me to find I have other followers all over the world

Even if this wasn't written in my bible, for those we love it's easy to do. In fact, I think it's actually harder for the forgiven to accept. It's easy to take things out on people we love most, because we know they are safe. The words said in anger are just deep frustrations that need to be vented. Only those that love you know that it's not your true self, but life just getting you down. I've learned to be patient let the storm pass, and wait. Instead of anger to show love and understanding, and in return I get it back.
