Who You Gonna Call?

Braxton is obsessed with Ghostbusters. I don't really know how a child born in 2007 became so in love with an 80's movie but it has happened. We have to watch Ghostbusters at least twice a week and listen to the Ghostbusters theme in the car. He walks around with his backpack on and pretends it is his proton pack. Ghostbusters toys are hard to find these days and if you do find them they are on some vintage site and way overpriced. He found a little matchbox car at the dollar tree that was a similar shape as the Ghostbusters car and he plays with it all the time. Luckily his Aunt Kelly is very crafty and she brought him over this Ghostbusters shirt that she made just for him. He didn't want to take it off!

New Blog....The Meaning Behind the Name!

I am not new to the blogging world. In a way blogging has been like therapy for me. I started a blog when I found out I was pregnant with triplets (http://butlertriplets.wordpress.com) in order to update people on my pregnancy. After I lost two of my three babies, I started a blog in memory of them (http://rememberingbradyandben.blogspot.com). It was a place I could go to talk about my grief and write poetry about my boys. It was a place where I could tell their story.

I will never be over my grief totally...you don't get over the death of your child. However, it has been four years and I decided that I needed a blog just about life in general. I am raising my one surviving son Braxton and that little boy keeps each day interesting for sure. So thus this new blog was born.

The name comes from a famous quote that has become very dear to me...Life is Not About Waiting for the Storms to Pass, it is Learning to Dance in the Rain. I found this saying after my babies died and I totally felt like it described my life. I have definitely weathered some storms. I am a planner. I like to control exactly what is going to happen in my life. However, life had other plans for me....it through me in the middle of a storm and it was sink or swim. So I have learned to stop obsessing over planning and just learning to live for the day...to dance in the rain. So I am putting on my dancing shoes...here goes!
