Just call me Auntie

Guess what! I'm an aunt! My sis-in-law had her baby yesterday and we are SO EXCITED about this little guy. They didn't know what they were having, so it was a surprise for all of us. I was secretly hoping for a boy, just because we will have two girls and it's fun to have a bit of both in the family, and he is just the sweetest little guy! 

Even though I was okay with not getting a long turn holding him, I was so glad I got a little time. There is nothing like a tiny newborn that just completely softens the heart. It's fun to think that we'll have another one in just 4 1/2 months. He was 9 lbs 3 oz, so just 4 oz smaller than Josie was, but he was so tiny compared to Josie who was running around the room like the big toddler she is. It's crazy how much they grow in just one year.

Doesn't she just look HUGE next to him? She was so fascinated with him and just stared and stared.

Doesn't she look beautiful? So proud of her and can't wait to watch her in action as the mom she has always been meant to be!




Congratulations Elizabeth and Greg! And welcome Dean(o)! You are perfect.

Birthday Girl

Happy birthday to my favorite girl in the world!

As cliche as it is, I cannot believe that just one year ago she joined us in this world with her squishy face and adorable little feet. Love you baby girl! Always will.

Almost 1 going on 21

What was I thinking?? Today I decided to get as much of Josie's hair in a pony as I could. The results made my heart want to cry. Not so much tears of sadness, but I was just caught off guard by how old she looked.

Hair before we clipped the bangs back:


Clip in place

I can just see her now waving good bye as she heads off to college...
