The other night I was in the bathroom washing my face when Russ shouts from GA's room to come see....this is what I found...a sweet moment of my family at bedtime. I started to laugh and say "umm...how did you get so lucky?" Russell always comes back with a simple answer, "I just did." Sometimes when doing the most mundane things in my life, God shouts to me "to come see" and He shows me exactly how blessed I am. These three people in my life are everything to me and I can't believe how lucky I am! Happy Monday everyone... I feel like my week has started on a pretty high note!

Happy Boy! Henry is 4 months old today!
Henry came into our lives just four months ago, but it seems like he has been with us a lifetime! He is truly a joy to be around with a smile that makes his momma melt (see below picture)! At this stage in Henry's sweet life he is busy discovering the world around him. He learned how to grab his feet on July 2nd and his first little laugh came on June 21st!
He also loves to:
- listen to stories
- be held by mommy and daddy
- watch big sister
- be sung to and bounced on laps
- his paci and blankie bear and dino
- ride in stroller
- get on pajamas around 8:30p
- eat/reflux medicine
- prayers and songs
- go down around 9p and sleeps until 7:30-8:00am
He is also a growing boy at 14lbs. 13 oz. and 23.5 inches long!
Tonight is his first night in his crib! What a big boy!
Uh-oh he slid down the pillow...check out that hiney!
Trying to grab those feet!

May Ketchup! (Picture overload!)
Finally! I am sitting down to post some new pics of the family and to update the blog! We have been super busy this month, well last month, with many fun events!
- Henry had his 2 month well visit and he weighed a whopping 12lbs. 6 oz. and 23.5 inches long. He is in the 6oth percentile in both height and weight!
- Then on May 15th we celebrated Henry's baptism with family and friends. We had the best turn-out and Russ and I felt so blessed to be surrounded by them. Father Paul even flew in to do the honors! (He is a close family friend, who happened to marry me and Russ and is GA's godfather!)
- A week later, I resigned my kindergarten position to once again stay at home with my babies. It was a hard decision and I know that I will miss teaching...because it TRULY is my passion to be a teacher of young children, but I am so excited to TEACH my two kiddos! So GA and Henry welcome to homeschool by your crazy mama!
- After moving out of my classroom and saying my goodbyes to the students we had a great Memorial Day weekend with Russell's sister, brother-in-law and cousin Jack! They are expecting a little bundle at the end of the July! We can't wait to meet her!
- So here are the pictures from our "May Ketchup!"
- I am so excited it is summer, but blogger friends expect to see me in lots of ponytails because it is so "shut the front door" hot in this town! No one wants to have frizz hair and deal with sweaty neck back, so ponytails it is!
A rare moment...a picture of us!
Me and my sweet girl...she was so tired and cranky!
Henry with Uncle Keith
Henry apparently needs his space!
Sweet boy!
I love his face!
Sisterly love!
