Do Not Drink the Water!

Babies, babies, babies everywhere!! Or at least happy pregnant ladies for now. Pretty uplifting actually, but if you aren't digging sleepless nights, big bellies, and other fun stuff then stay away!

Ladies, I am so happy to be in this category with you, what a special time! Best of luck to all of us. I may be weird, but despite the back aches and uncomfortableness of the last weeks of pregnancy, I actually love being pregnant and really soak up the amazing life we are lucky enough to be able to create. I hope you get to enjoy every amazing second of it. I do think of all of you often and wish the very best for each of you. Kids are the best thing in the world. A babies laugh, smell, and touch, priceless. Have fun, and HAPPY SHOPPING!!!

Right now I am happy, I am free, I am loved, I am Lucky, I am Blessed, I am anxious, I am busy, I am overwhelmed, I am excited, I am tired, Right now I am ME.........

Ty's First Day of School

Somehow my baby boy is now going to school.......not sure where the time went, but Tyler now goes to Pre School and seems to be enjoying it for the most part. The transition has been much smoother than I could have hoped for. Well, at least it has been for him. I get so nervous the entire time he is at school and I even lose sleep over it the night before. It is hard to let go, and this is only pre school. I am so proud of him though.

His little sister misses him while he is gone, I always worried about that. This duo can not be separated so I know it is rough on her and it is pretty obvious, she cries in the mornings when they aren't together.

I hope this gets easier for all of us. Somehow deep inside I know that this is one of my first steps to the inevitable.....kids grow up and then just like that they dont need us as much. As parents the best we can do is prepare them, love them and protect them when we can...... Then we must learn how to ever so graciously, let go.

Tyler, --- enjoy every last bit of it!!!!!
