Eyes Wide Open

It’s 10 p.m. on Saturday night and my girl is sleeping like a log. After a long week of busy days, I certainly should be too. However, I can’t. As I lie in bed and stare at my beautiful baby girl and look over at how peacefully asleep John is, I can’t stop thinking about how lucky I am.

On a daily basis I get bogged down in the stress of things, whether its work, the house or just the fact that there doesn’t seem to be enough hours in the day to get the things done that I would like to. However, I also seem to find at least moment daily to be thankful. On this night, the moments just won’t stop coming.

I have the most amazing little girl on the planet, who loves her Momma so much it is unmistakable. The reason I have this amazing little person in my life, is because of the love that started with her Daddy. I am so incredibly lucky that the universe brought John and I together when it did and that God blessed us with a baby, our girl, Autumn.

Old Man


My bear is 7 and 1/2 years old already and definitely slowing down. He will soon have to keep up with a crawling and later walking baby who will steal his toys right from under his nose. Then eventually throw his ball and frisbee for him! Charlie is such a good boy and is such an important part of our family. We look forward to Autumn's big brother leading the way on family hikes for years to come!

Thank you - Thank you very much


This is Autumn harnessing her inner Elvis - just like her good friend Audrey!

Friendship

How do a 5 and 1/2 and 8 month old express their friendship? Well they explore eachother...

Sometimes this means clawing at eachothers faces...
Then realizing that may not be pleasant for the friend being clawed, they instead try planting a giant kiss on thier friends face!

Ah...the joys of friendship! And so it begins...
