The Announcement



I've been trying to capture some moments and pictures of Tate, before I blink and I miss the times of him being a newborn. This last week I set up shop and snapped away with my two little ones. (Those pics will be posted soon)...and here is what I ended up creating for his birth announcement.

Oh Spring, Where Are You?


As I sit and watch the snow fall dump, I keep asking myself..."Spring, where are you"? I am getting cabin fever something fierce, especially since I'm still recovering from the new arrival of our new little addition to the family... all while balancing this new adventure with my three year old :) I managed to get only one small project done, and the list is growing for the rest of the house...but spring, I NEED you...to bless me with green grass to look at, and to bring some motivation and sunshine to my days. 

I hope spring is already on its way and alive wherever you are!

The Blessings of Parents


 I am so thankful that my parents were able to be here the last 2 weeks! I ended up getting an infection right after Tate was born, and my mother was truly a BLESSING for being able to help with the new baby while I was recovering. I can't wait for them to hopefully come back and visit again in the fall...it cannot come soon enough. It has been REALLY hard having my parents move so far away when we have little ones. I was raised around my grandparents and was so close to my grandmas...I can't imagine life without grandparents!! I really miss having my mom around too...you get used to that best friend just being a car ride or walk away...it really makes you sit back and think of what is really important...and how short life really is...not to be surrounded with those we love most.

After the years have passed, I hope my husband and I can be such a blessing to our children, as our parents have been to us.
