Maybe it's the nostalgia of creating family five years ago. Maybe it's spending the day at "The Happiest Place on Earth." And maybe I'm just all kinds of mixed up and wacky. Maybe.
Or maybe, maybe our divorce will save our marriage.
There's a certain comfort in being a family of four. There's a certain peace in being able to communicate better now, than in the past months...years. There's a certain insanity when an (ex) husband and wife share dating stories with one another.
Although there are no certain answers, we have found a way to continue to grow. As individuals. As a couple. For this, I am grateful. Grateful and entirely crazy. Who knows what will be ahead. But damn, I could really use a map right now...
...'cause I'm feeling kinda Dumbo.

How awesome would that be?! I'm so glad that you ALL seemed to have a wonderful 5th birthday celebration for those darling kids.
wow, good for you. changing and growing are good things, and even better when you can help each other along the way, whatever new path that may be. do whatever works for you...sounds like you are.
Happy Birthday to your gorgeous little girl and boy!! 5......wow!
Best of luck to your and your family. May you find your Happy :)
You are definitely "choosing your own." What is better than a family day at Disneyland? Happy Birthday to two gorgeous kids.
aaah...what a great day!! I do so love Disneyland!! And really...to be honest...4 IS better there, because that way, no one has to ride alone...you've always got someone with you....and that is good.
Sending you good thoughts...warm wishes...and more birthday wishes for your two little ones (who were wearing 'ears' that 3 of us really wanted!!!) :-D
Happy Birthday Tatum and Chase! And to you, a big "WHAT?" popped out of my mouth as I read maybe our divorce will save our marriage. Girl, I can not keep up with you... But, I wish you all the best in figurng it all out. Love to you and the kiddos.
p.s. and with this new info, I will be calling soon :)
not dumbo. silly you. just doing what comes next, without a map.
So happy to read this.
5?!!! Wow....and it looks like you have a very good future ahead, with or without a map :)
I agree with your assessment... CRAZY! I'm thinking "What?!". I love Disneyland too and I'm sure it brings back great memories for you all. Hope you get through it (meaning the craziness of what this post was about) and become happier for it. I wish you all the best cause you and your kiddos deserve it!
It's awesome to see you guys spending time together with {for} the kids! Happy 5th Birthday to the kiddos!
Happy Birthday!!!! Holy Moly FIVE!!!
I can't help but grin at the idea of it all "working out"... God can do amazing things! :)

Your map is your heart; you know this :)
I'm actually gobsmacked by this post in a way I can't describe...but it's kind of like deja vu.
You know, I went with those good, warm, fuzzy feelings with contentment and foursomeness and to be perfectly honest, I have moments of both family of four perfection as well as moments of WTF did I do? I had all that freedom and potential, yet, I went with the safe and familiar rather than the scary and unknown.
My kids smile, the glow, yeah. Everyone's happy and that's good. But I still often find myself thinking about all that potential and unknown - again, if you get my drift.
I love that you're happy. I love that you POSTED woman!! You need to keep in touch more often with your fans :)
XO
Love ya.
Also, happy, happy birthday to your lil angels. The big oh-five! Mine just turned 4 two weeks ago. Craziness all around with these growing little things :)
wow Five ...Happy Birthday to your gorgeous Tatum & Chase.
I hope it all works out for you and their Dad.
I am glad you can have a good relationship for their sake.
Ps I mean as in'dividuals not as a couple.
Happy birthday to your kiddos.
And, if your divorce saves your marriage, more power to you guys. You are following your hearts!
Happy Birthday Tatum and Chase!
Aw! how cute are your babies!! Well, not babies any more... Happy Birthday to them!
And if you *find* a map for that? You will be a gazillionaire!
Sometimes there are no clear answers, we all just have to keep moving forward. It sounds like you both are growing and learning. That is pretty darn awesome.
Hugs as you continue to move forward...what ever direction it ends up being.
What Cheri said and what Huckdoll said. Think about your potential and the unknown before you go with the safe/status quo. Then make whatever decision really works for you in your heart.
Happy Birthday beautiful wonderful grandchildren. Lets go on the train this weekend!
Gran
five?? Oh I can only imagine how excited they were for this trip and the turning of five!! Congrats to you mama on surviving 5 years with twins. Seriously, there needs to be an award for that! :)
And sending positive thoughts your way with the relationship questions. I know in your heart you will figure it all out! :)
happy birthday cute kiddos!!!!!
Happy Birthday to Tatum and Chase!!!
Good luck with the big decisions in your life. Have fun making them.
((hugs))
