13 years and counting.......

I remember the church being hot.......

I remember panicking because I could not find Phil's ring......

I remember sitting up in front of all of our friends and family and my knees shaking I was so nervous.....

I remember when the ceremony was over walking in the park holding his hand and feeling the summer breeze flow though my veil......

I remember laughing in the limo with my sister and my best friend, so happy we shared this moment together......

13 years ago today I became Mrs. Philip Addler.

This journey has not been an easy one. We have been challenged beyond anything I could have possibly fathomed. As a result of these deep valley paths we have trudged, the light is so much brighter on the other side. We have three beautiful, amazing miracles to show for it. We have our health and our home. We are two very lucky people to be surrounded by so much joy.

I know most of you have seen these before but here are some pictures from the Happy Day!!





Yesterday I asked Phil if he wanted to go out to dinner tomorrow. His response was, "WHY?". I walked away and said, "Never mind". I was really upset...He then says, "Chelsea, I was kidding I would never forget what tomorrow is." One of the things I love the most is he has never lost his sense of humor and always makes sure I never lose mine. Thank you Pilbert!! I love you to infinity and beyond, to the moon and back, forever and ever.



So very excited about date night...

Happy 4th Birthday Madelynn!!

Happy 4th Birthday Madelynn!!!!
























Today we celebrate another milestone, your 4th Birthday. You have come so far in such a short period of time and we are so lucky you came along. You make us laugh even when we don't think we need it. Life would have not been complete with out you.

Thank you for never giving up, showing us the fighter built inside of you and almost always doing it with a smile. I told your Daddy after your surgery I wasn't convinced you would survive until I saw you smile again. I can even tell you the day I knew it.

I stand back and watch you write your name, illustrate a story or just creatively play and am in awe at the ideas that you conjure up. I can honestly say you surprise me ALL the time. Some days I wonder if the world is ready for you as you have grown. You are about to begin your last year of pre-school and they have no idea what they are in store for.

Some days the chaos of our everyday life gets the best of me. But once I step back and truly see what gifts I have in my possession I am one lucky Mom. I hope you have a wonderful day.

Love,
Mama
