Giggles

I don't ever want to forget this sound, the look on those chubby cheeks, and the smile on his Daddy's face.  What incredible joy this little boy has brought to our family. 

Joy

Church brings us such "Joy!"  Love our friends at Lynnwood Baptist Church!

Andon's Room

We put up Andon's baby bed!  Yeah, he's five months old, but he is my last baby, so, baby steps.  He was all smiles.  Notice the amazing painting on the wall that matches his bedding courtesy of his Nan.  We're still not finished with the decorating in here.


It's been interesting merging little boy and little girl things into one cohesive room.  Like I said, we aren't done, gotta get some different curtains.  :)


Of course, all he really cares about is the awesome ceiling fan!

Five months

Our sweet boy is five months old.  He is growing so fast.  He is definitely my chunky monkey!  Love you Andon Josiah!

Girls Day Out

I've dreamed of a girls day out for several years now and it Finally happened!  I got to take my two Favorite little girls to the American Girl store in Chicago!

Nan and I, CJ and Lanie, and Abby and Savannah are ready to go, but Andon wasn't too happy at the thought of being left home!  He did great though!


Nan spoiling us with matching jammies!


CJ got Lanie's hair done and her ears pierced.


Beautiful!!!


We had so much fun!  Look at all those bags!!!


Our matching jammies!


Precious girls!  I can't wait to take them again!

Sitting Up!

Andon is sitting up! He's growing so fast! He's still a little wobbly, but he loves it.

Ten Years

For Christmas, when asked what he wanted to give his Mommy, Aiden told his Daddy, "I want to buy her a dress for her anniversary date with you."  He was very specific and that is what he did.  His Daddy helped him choose a tremendous dress.  I was so excited I was going to wear it to church that Sunday, but Aiden would not let me wear it until March!  He was adamant that it was for my anniversary date!  I have to admit it made our date that much more exciting!  I had a dress I had been waiting months to get to wear.  It increased the anticipation.  I love that little red head!  Two guesses where he got his gift giving spirit from???  And I will give you a hint, it was Not his Mother!

 

We had a wonderful night out.  My Mother and CJ were in town, so we had a Free babysitter!  We went to an amazing Italian restaurant and to see the movie, "The Vow."  It was such a great movie!  It was an amazing, romantic evening.  I love this man more every day!

 

Dear Patrick,

If I had known ten years ago, what I know now, the only thing I would have done different is have a shorter engagement.  You are the best thing God has ever given me.  I love you beyond reason and  I look forward to ten years turning into fifty and beyond.
