Memorial Day Weekend

Life has been busy, busy, busy around here.  Thankfully, Memorial Day Weekend was pretty relaxing.  Ted had a much needed fun guy's day/night at a friend's deer lease... and the girls and I enjoyed some time with the cousins at my parent's house.  Memorial day was just spent hanging out with the girls at our house, taking some 1 year pictures of Natalie, getting some lunch together, running some errands, and really just not doing much of anything.  It was nice. 

 These 2 had so much fun together!

Mother's Day 2012

I am so blessed to be the Mother of these two beautiful little girls!  Being a Mom myself now makes me so much more appreciative of my own Mom and what she did for us.  We are who we are because of our Mother's unconditional, sacrificing love and hard work.  Being a Mom is the hardest job I will ever do, but also the most rewarding.  I am thankful to be a Mom and I am extremely thankful for my Mom and the example she has set for me. 

 I cannot believe that we will be celebrating this sweet girl's 1st Birthday in less than a month!!

 She's had a rough several months with illness and teething, but after getting tubes in her ears this week, we are hopeful that she will be happy and healthy again!! 

 She is crawling and pulling up on everything in the house, just babbling away.  She loves feeding herself finger foods now.  She loves giving hugs and kisses. 

She can stand on her own briefly, and has taken a couple of steps on her own, so we are thinking she might be walking by her first Birthday!
