A new lullaby classic by the Dixie Chicks
Hello All,
It’s been awhile b/c well, when you have a newborn all your time, energy, goals, heart & spirit are wrapped up in keeping the brand new life just happy & adjusted to this big world...
Anyway, to make a long story of the past few months brief, I’ve had never felt the depths of love, commitment, hope, joy, pride meshed & intertwined tight with frustration, messiness, practicality and patience until I had my little, sunshine baby Johnella Bella (our jellybean, biscuit) who gives me giggles & snuggles all at the same time. It’s been like bootcamp like my doctor’s told me but I’m a better person, a better woman & now a better mother now that she’s entered into our lives.
God’s blessed me, I say that over & over...
Anyway, I wanted to share this lullaby that the Dixie Chicks did a couple of years back...pretty much sums up simply how a parent feels...lyrics are also below...
Much warmth,
Elle
They didn’t have you where I come from
Never knew the best was yet to come
Life began when I saw your face
And I hear your laugh like a serenade
How long do you want to be loved
Is forever enough, is forever enough
How long do you want to be loved
Is forever enough
Cause I’m never, never giving you up
I slip in bed when you’re asleep
To hold you close and feel your breath on me
Tomorrow there’ll be so much to do
So tonight I’ll drift in a dream with you
How long do you want to be loved
Is forever enough, is forever enough
How long do you want to be loved
Is forever enough
Cause I’m never, never giving you up
As you wander through this troubled world
In search of all things beautiful
You can close your eyes when you’re miles away
And hear my voice like a serenade
How long do you want to be loved
Is forever enough, is forever enough
How long do you want to be loved
Is forever enough
Cause I’m never, never giving you up
How long do you want to be loved
Is forever enough, is forever enough
How long do you want to be loved
Is forever enough
Cause I’m never, never giving you up
Is forever enough
Cause I’m never, never giving you up

My Angel Baby is Here...
My Angel
Emoticón actual: calmado
Hello All,
As some of you know, God blessed me with my little angel baby girl Johnella Marie this past Oct. - Oct. 21st at 3:29 am. She was 7 lbs. & 5 oz...she's gained about two pounds or so since then...
She's wonderful & I just wanted to pass that on to those of you who've tried to contact me to see what's up one way or the other...
In the meantime, I'm in hibernation mode & they'll be plenty of time for us to get to know Johnella...she needs to start getting used to the world first...
Hope you're all enjoying the holidays with your family!
Take care & much warmth,
Elle

My Happy News :)
Hello All,
As most of you all already know and just in case a few of you don't know out there, I'm expecting a baby girl this coming late October & early November.
We're both excited and anxious for our daughter to be here...
In the meantime, I have unexplained cravings for PB&J sam'wiches & Funnyuns! Go figure!
I'm so happy to share this wonderful news to you all...
Take care,
Elle

Lyrics to "Universally Speaking" by the Red Hot Chili Peppers
Current mood: restless
Category: Music
I just love the lyrics to this song...it's a beauty if you love listening to words & how it melds with the melody & the main chorus...whoever penned it, I commend him or her...
Listen to the song if you ever get a chance...
Paz,
El -
Universally Speaking
I saw your face
Elegant and tired
Cut up from the chase
Still, i so admire
Bloodshot your smile
Delicate and wild
Forgive me, she was styled
Rip right through me
Silveretta the jets of a lifetime
Go and get her,
I've got her on my mind
Nothing better,the feeling is so fine
Simply put, i saw your love stream flow
Come on, baby,'cause theres no name for
Give it up and i got what i came for
Universally speaking
I take it back and you make me nervous
Nothing better than love and service
Universally speaking
I win in the long run
I saw your crime
Dying to get high
Two of a kind
Beats all hands tonight
Silveretta the jets of a lifetime
Go and get her,
I've got her on my mind
All the better, to make it is so fine
Simply put, i saw your love stream flow
Come on, baby,'cause there's no name for
Give it up and i got what i came for
Universally speaking
I take it back and you make me nervous
Nothing better than love and service
Universally speaking
I win in the long run
Silveretta the jets of a lifetime
Go and get her,
I've got her on my mind
Nothing better,the feeling is so fine
Simply put, i saw your love stream flow
Simply put, i saw your love stream flow
Let's go
