...Coming Soon...

Baby B 2......Sept. 30th!





Things sure are going to change around our house but we cannot wait to share all of our love!! You are already so blessed to have the most AMAZING and LOVING big brother!

Mom, watch out I got this....

This week we have been getting some cleaning done. I have had one awesome helper. Boy did he have a good time. Please excuse the poor photo quality, he was moving a lot :)

Blessed

I know I am blessed, but lately I have been feeling more and more blessed. Jack has always been an amazingly happy baby. But ever since he got tubes put in, he has been even happier! He is constantly dancing, blowing the best kisses and giving the biggest hugs with a HUGE smile on his face! He is a mess and a half and I love it! He gets in to everything and I could care less (as long as it's not dangerous). Sometimes I feel like I should be more protective when I see other moms but Jack is a strong little boy and when he falls we say yay and he smiles and gets back up! He loves figuring out everything and that warms my heart. With this wonderful weather we have been spending more and more time out doors and I got his little slide out (figuring it was still too big) and what do you know... he climbed right up it! I was so impressed! We spent the next 30-45 minutes going up the steps and sliding down! As you could imagine....he was worn out!! (me too)

I can't get enough of this song....
and it makes me tear up every time.

These words especially:
Your little hand's wrapped around my finger
And it's so quiet in the world tonight
Your little eyelids flutter cause you're dreaming
So I tuck you in, turn on your favorite night light
To you everything's funny, you got nothing to regret
I'd give all I have, honey
If you could stay like that

Time is going way to fast for me! I need more time
to soak in all of these memories!!

I hope you never stop giving me those big hugs like you gave me this morning!!
I love you sweet boy

oooo the park.......

It was so nice out yesterday that I decided to take Jack to the park.
We have a wonderful park that is practically in our backyard. Only problem
is.... we have to walk on a very busy road for just a block and there is NOOOOOO
sidewalk. I swear there are sidewalks everywhere except for one block on either side of our
street. Thanks Greensboro! Luckily there is yard that we can walk on but I haven't attempted
to walk it in about 8 months.....

Soo I get Jack in his wagon and he is pumped (hoping to find a single lady I am sure) we start out journey and I quickly realize that mommy made a big mistake. The little bit of yard that we had to use to get to the park is covered in branches, rocks and the worst....overgrown thorny bushes from our neighbors yard that go all the way to the street but we are ALMOST THERE!!!!
Crap! So (with cars flying by) I get Jack out of the wagon and carry him and the wagon (have I mentioned Jack weighs 27lbs) on to the street for .2 seconds and run past the thorny bushes and get back on to the grass....praying the whole time.

But we made it!!!! We get to the park and I am sweating and panting by this point...looking awesome and lucky for us there is a play group going on.... yay (enter sarcasm).

I swear the moms eyed me and ran to put there kids in the "good" swings.... Cool, whatever, the other ones are better anyways... So I am looking around (still catching breath) and notice that all the other kids are all wearing smocked outfits. Then I look at Jack, he is in his torn jeans (because he is hip) little fleece jacket and still has his lunch all over his face from daycare. Needless to say we stood out.... The other moms kept their distance. Then I noticed another mom putting her kids in our wagon...... ummm ok??? Well although the experience wasn't quite how I expected we had a good time anyways :)

But we took the LONG way home..... on sidewalks....
