Catching Up

Whew! It has been a busy month...between a trip to the beach, her 6 month check up, growing, & flying to Kentucky, Adelyn has had a full schedule.
Our really big news is that she started crawling last week! She's getting faster every day & has already mangaged to pull over laundry baskets, eat our shoes, & find electrical cords. I love these two pictures because they show how sweet & curious she is. There are days that I laugh and think, this kid is all girl. But lately I'm not so sure. I feel like I've joined the wrestling team! It doesn't matter if she's eating, sleeping, being changed, or playing, she is constantly moving. It makes me feel really bad for the mother's of boys because I hear that they use 50% more energy than girls do. I can't imagine!
A few weeks ago we went down to the beach with my mom, dad & Aunt Corrie. We had a great time & enjoyed being able to get away to relax. Adelyn could have cared less about the sand but she really studied the water. It was still too cold for her to get in though.

Last weekend we flew to Kentucky for Uncle Ryan's graduation. Adelyn did great on the flight & confirmed our decision to never drive again! A whisk, broken pair of sunglasses, and cheerios were our secret weapons for keeping her busy. We had lots of fun with everybody & would like for you to note that the girls are taking over this all boy family! ; ) We're looking forward to seeing everyone again next month at Uncle Ryan & Aunt Lauren's wedding.

We also celebrated Mother's Day while we were in Lexington. Matt was so sweet to surprise me with a beautiful ring! I love being a mom and have really enjoyed the past 7 months a lot more than I was expecting too. I feel so blessed and grateful that I am able to stay home with Adelyn & that God chose me to be her mommy. She is a such a sweet girl and joy to be around. It was a very special day!

Well, all that really is enough to wear a girl out! We've decided to rest up and take some extra naps before we do it all over again starting next weekend with another trip to the beach!

Two!

On August 2nd the Buddy Boy turned 2! He was and still is so incredibly proud of himself over this achievement.   Caiden is the most perfect combination of all boy and sweet and snuggly toddler that there ever could be! He loves trucks and balls, throws caution to the wind, and has a stubborn streak that isn't going anywhere. He adores his daddy more than I can explain, loves to get kisses from mommy and wants to do everything his big sister does. We never knew how much we needed this little boy until he arrived and we are so humbled and blessed because we were chosen to be his mommy and daddy.   How can we thank God enough for you in return for all the joy we have in the presence of our God because of you?   1 Thessalonians 3:9

10 years

Today Matt & I are celebrating our 10 year wedding anniversary! Part of me can hardly believe that it's already been 10 years. I can still remember so many details of that time in our lives. The joy and excitement of the wedding and anticipation for the future. And another part of me knows that 10 years is not that long at all. We've only just begun!   We did not get any digital images from our wedding photographer (it was a different time back in 2003) but a friend took these and gave them to me.   One of my favorite parts of our ceremony was that we signed a covenant. Matt & I signed first and then both of our family's came up and signed. It was a really special part of our ceremony.         I am so thankful for these past 10 years with my best friend! When Matt & I met at a mutual friend's house 12 years ago I never could have imagined all that God had planned. But through it all - the victories and...

Thanksgiving 2012

 I know, it's pathetic. I'm blogging about Thanksgiving 2012 at the end of February 2013. But there were too many fun memories to not give it a blog post.   We headed to Owensboro this year for Thanksgiving. It was Caiden's first airplane ride and visit to Kentucky. He did great on both the flights. Isn't it so sad that his mother made him ride in a hot pink stroller.    Adelyn and Caroline had a lot of fun playing together. They had the most fun teasing Uncle Chris by hiding in his bed and giggling until he came to find them.     Since these pictures were taken Caroline has become a big sister. Do you think she was worried that her baby brother would be as silly as Adelyn's?   Speaking of our baby brother, he was quite the early riser on this trip. On Thanksgiving morning he woke up at 4 am, took a scenic drive around Owensboro, wished everyone in the drive thru at Dunkin' Donuts a "Happy Thanksgiving" an...
