Good Morning

Things can get pretty hectic in the morning trying to juggle two different schedules. But there are some mornings, like this one, that are absolutely perfect and I don't think my girls could be any more perfect.

The Attempt

I decided to attempt my own infant pictures with Addi and I this is by far my favorite.

I also happened to get a pretty good one of Rylee too.

This is the time of year we LOVE Arizona and being outside!

Family of Four

I still have to say it out loud to remind myself every now and then. Now that Addison is 5 weeks old I thought I would finally update my blog. I've just been a little pre-occupied with adjusting to life with...

not just one...

but two!

Addison Mae was born February 6 at 4:21 pm while Christina Aguilera messed up the national anthem (I had to catch it on YouTube). It was probably the best delivery I could have asked for and I had an awesome support group there with me.

All 7 pounds 7 ounces and 21 inches!

Notice here that there are two bears...one for big sister and one for the new sister. And notice how Rylee has both. She didn't give up either one of them until well after we had gotten home.

What can I say...I love our little family!

THANKFUL

I know we are well beyond Thanksgiving, but I have had such an overwhelming feeling of gratitude and thankfulness for so many things. And throughout this whole holiday season I have had a dramatic shift in the things that are now a primary focus and the things I am the most grateful for.

Here's just a few of the things that have been on my mind the most.

Family.

The best grandparents my kids could ever ask for.

Temples.

The most beautiful and fun daughter a mom could ask for and an absolutely amazing better half.

I don't think I could be more blessed!

Sometimes I Feel Like....

Let me lay it out for you...

• Living in half the square feet you have for the past year and adding another person to the mix.
• Being 8 months pregnant.
• Not even having a bedroom to have as a retreat.
  

And while it may feel like this, just as with the picture you get a good laugh out of it all.

I couldn't find words to better describe it.
